China has made a groundbreaking move in the energy sector by putting its first large-scale Sodium-ion Battery energy storage station into operation in Guangxi, southwest China. This 10-MWh station marks a significant leap towards adopting new, cost-effective battery technology for widespread use.
The project represents the first phase of the Datang Hubei Sodium Ion New Energy Storage Power Station, which consists of 42 battery energy storage containers and 21 sets of boost converters. It uses 185 ampere-hour large-capacity sodium-ion batteries supplied by China’s HiNa Battery Technology and is equipped with a 110 kV transformer station.
The 10-MWh sodium-ion battery storage station was put into operation on May 11 in Nanning, Guangxi in southwestern China, China Southern Power Grid Energy Storage, the energy storage division of China Southern Power Grid, said on May 11.
It boasts a 50 MW/100 MWh energy storage capacity, the largest globally for sodium-ion batteries. BYD sees sodium-ion batteries as a game-changer, particularly for specific applications. They might not be ideal for high-range EVs due to lower energy density, but they could be perfect for Lower-range EVs & Energy storage.
Both the functional principle and the manufacturing and process chains are almost identical to those of the well-known lithium-ion technology. For this reason, sodium-ion batteries are referred to as a drop-in technology – a high entry-level technology readiness level (TRL) therefore enables promising application scenarios in the future.
Sodium-ion batteries offer advantages in terms of sustainability as well as readily available and environmentally friendly raw materials. They also score highly in terms of safety and temperature resilience. Both the functional principle and the manufacturing and process chains are almost identical to those of the well-known lithium-ion technology.
