Trina Storage has provided a 50 MWh fully integrated energy storage system for a hybrid fishery-solar-storage project in Tianmen, Hubei Province, China. The grid-connected system has 400 MW of installed PV capacity.
The project includes a 1,500 VDC energy storage system made up of ten Trina Storage 2.5 MW/5 MWh battery cabinets. According to Trina Storage, the storage units have resilient maintenance systems that use precise thermal management technology for homogeneous heat dissipation at the rack level, enhancing battery life.
According to the business, the system, which is put on fish ponds, allows electricity to be generated on the water while still being used for fish farming, integrating sustainable agriculture with the most sophisticated science and technology.
“These integrated efforts bring multiple benefits, such as land preservation, energy efficiency, emissions reduction, improved business productivity, and increased farmer income, thereby positively contributing to both the economy and the environment,” according to the report. “[It] achieves a harmonious integration of photovoltaics and energy storage, enabling energy switching, primary frequency regulation, and various related applications.”
Trina Storage debuted its next generation of commercial-scale batteries, Trina Storage Elementa 2, in October at All-Energy Australia. The 4 MWh energy storage system provides “a solid foundation for integrated PV and energy storage solutions,” according to the company.
“Elementa 2 was specially designed to meet the needs of commercial-scale energy storage customers and markets,” according to the statement. “With a high energy density, it fits comfortably in a 20-foot container, streamlining transportation and logistics and pursuing cost reduction and economic efficiency.”
