China's Groundbreaking 1.2GWh "Wind-Solar-Thermal-Hydrogen-Storage" Project Connects to Grid

The Daihai Energy Storage Power Plant, developed and constructed by Jingneng Power, has successfully connected to the grid. The facility is powered by 192 MC Cube-T ESS units supplied by BYD Energy Storage, with a total capacity of 300MW/1200MWh. BYD tailored a specialized energy storage solution for this challenging project in the desert, Gobi, and barren lands, overcoming the difficulties of extreme environmental conditions.

Located in Liangcheng County, Ulanqab City, Inner Mongolia, the project faces harsh conditions including extreme cold, high winds, and sandy terrain, posing significant construction challenges. To address these, BYD utilized its innovative "Blade Battery for Energy Storage" and CTS (Cell to System) technologies. The MC Cube-T ESS demonstrated outstanding adaptability, reliability, and performance, ensuring smooth grid-connected operations for the Daihai Energy Storage Project.

The MC Cube-T ESS is designed with a modular structure, offering five core advantages: ease of layout, transportation, installation, maintenance, and expansion. The system's flexible design allows it to be transported either as individual components or as a complete unit, eliminating concerns about weight limitations. Transportation and installation require only a small crane, simplifying the process.

Additionally, the system supports plug-and-play functionality and remote commissioning, increasing installation and commissioning efficiency by 80%. These features enabled the rapid completion of the project, reducing the average DC-side on-site work duration from 90 days to just 47 days. The project achieved full-capacity grid connection by the end of the year, setting a benchmark for energy storage solutions in extreme environments.
