Image: Shenzen Energy Group. A project in China, claimed as the largest flywheel energy storage system in the world, has been connected to the grid. The first flywheel unit of the Dinglun Flywheel Energy Storage Power Station in Changzhi City, Shanxi Province, was connected by project owner Shenzen Energy Group recently.
The 30 MW plant is the first utility-scale, grid-connected flywheel energy storage project in China and the largest one in the world. From ESS News China has connected to the grid its first large-scale standalone flywheel energy storage project in Shanxi Province’s city of Changzhi.
From ESS News China has connected to the grid its first large-scale standalone flywheel energy storage project in Shanxi Province’s city of Changzhi. The Dinglun Flywheel Energy Storage Power Station broke ground in July last year.
The faster it spins, the more energy it stores. Vice versa, the flywheel is slowed down when demand increases, releasing more kinetic energy for the grid to convert into electricity. In Shanxi Province’s city of Changzhi, a project to construct China’s first grid-level flywheel energy storage facility began in June this year.
The station consists of 12 flywheel energy storage arrays composed of 120 flywheel energy storage units, which will be connected to the Shanxi power grid. The project will receive dispatch instructions from the grid and perform high-frequency charge and discharge operations, providing power ancillary services such as grid active power balance.
The Dinglun Flywheel Energy Storage Power Station, the World’s Largest Flywheel Energy Storage Project, represents a significant step forward in sustainable energy. Its role in grid frequency regulation and support for renewable energy will help stabilize power systems as China continues to increase its reliance on wind and solar energy.
