FAQS about Heishan Energy Storage Station Environmentally Friendly Lithium Batteries

Where is China's first large-scale lithium-sodium hybrid energy storage station located?

Baochi Energy Storage Station, China's first large-scale lithium-sodium hybrid energy storage station, starts operations in Southwest China's Yunnan Province on May 25, 2025. Photo: CCTV News China's first large-scale lithium-sodium hybrid energy storage station began operations on Sunday in Southwest China's Yunnan Province.

What is lithium-sodium hybrid technology?

The lithium-sodium hybrid technology enables more stable integration of large-scale renewables into the power grid and supports future participation in electricity market trading," Wu Bin, deputy manager of the Baochi Energy Storage Station project, was quoted by CCTV News as saying.

What is China's largest lithium-ion battery project?

The project combines 40MWh of sodium-ion batteries with the remainder lithium-ion and is the largest of its kind in China, the firm said, and therefore almost certainly the world.

Is there a shortage of lithium batteries in China?

However, growing demand for lithium batteries has raised concerns over resource shortages, as 70 percent of lithium battery materials in China come from overseas, meaning a high dependence on imports, the CCTV News report said. In contrast, the raw materials for sodium batteries can be sourced from salt mines, seawater, and salt lakes.

Wind power remote control system

SCADA systems allow the remote operation of energy facilities such as wind power plants. In fact, most wind turbine vendors have designed and developed their own SCADA system in order to perform the control of their machines. [pdf]
