China's New Compressed Air Energy Storage Goes Online: 100MW Project Activated, Key Tool for Green Power Integration
China's first 100MW compressed air energy storage project officially connects to the grid in Jiangsu, storing 100MWh of electricity with 65% round-trip efficiency, an important technology for solving renewable energy integration challenges.
China's first 100MW compressed air energy storage project officially commissioned today.
Project Overview
- Installed capacity: 100MW
- Storage capacity: 100MWh
- Efficiency: 65%
- Lifespan: 30 years
Technical Principle
Uses electricity to compress air stored in underground salt caverns. When electricity is needed, compressed air is released to drive generators.
Advantages
- Flexible site selection (salt caverns, abandoned mines)
- Large capacity
- Long lifespan
- High safety
Strategic Significance
A key technology for achieving "dual carbon" goals, effectively solving renewable energy integration challenges for solar and wind power.
