Canada approved new solar battery energy storage projects

Solar photovoltaic (pv) net news: according to foreign media reports, the Canadian provinces of alberta province public utilities commission has approved the deployment of a solar + energy storage project, plan DE LanHe le town in the province ( Drumheller) Deploy a capacity to 13. 5 mw solar power generation facilities, and a 8 mw/MWH battery energy storage system.

the commission on April 20th, ruling in a lawsuit, plans to invest 25. 6 million Canadian dollars ( About 1 8. 2 million dollars) Deploy DE LanHe solar and battery energy storage project is in the public interest, at the same time, considering the social, economic, environmental and other effects. The project will generate enough electricity to meet DE LanHe town residents' demand for electricity.

this project will be by the energy developers Longspur Developments company joint venture with a local businessman Robert Bilton development, and connected to the local distribution services ATCO Electric company 25 kv power distribution system, China solar power network, and then connect the alberta power system. The project will deploy a fixed Angle of solar panels, tandem type inverter and container type lithium ion battery energy storage system. Battery energy storage system will be in the local charge when electricity demand is low, and then discharge during peak demand for electricity to the grid. Longspur company said that this means that the project will offset peak load, and alleviate the pressure of the power system.

when the project is connected to the local distribution network, battery energy storage system will only through the solar power generation facilities charge charge rather than through the grid. Applicability at the same time, the project will be on the local solar energy and energy storage demonstration projects, and will obtain alberta plans ( ERA） C $5 million funding.

the project will be deployed on a rock near the town of Drumheller 60 acres of land. Longspu company said that the project is expected to be opened to traffic in the summer of 2021, a year to the town to pay c $24000 land rent, local communities will also be obtained from the project in the levy of property tax revenue for a long time. Although Longspur company said on its web site, solar energy, the development of the final project schedule may be affected by various factors, including the electric power market drivers.

the company believes that this is a Canadian province one of the first large mixed deployment of solar + energy storage projects. Alberta also announced for the other two solar + battery project, an independent deployment of solar power generation facilities, solar power network, and a separate deployment of battery energy storage project, can delay the transmission system of the high cost of investment.

marked by green area is proposed in the solar farms of the project site, solar net, marked in red is the proposed site of battery energy storage system. The project will deploy five inverter/substation and four container type battery energy storage system.

this paper statistics the September to today issued a total of 2. 85 gw pv power plant EPC and 1. 9 gw component bid opening information. Among them, the EPC project owner units is given priority to with soe/state, solar power network, this also reflected from the side, in project bidding and parity, the state-owned enterprises have become the absolute main force. Specifically, CGNPC in development of 410 mw, 603 mw, guangzhou energy saving 220 mw, 345 mw, jin can group the people vote for 200 mw, 190 mw hubei energy group, huaneng power 180 mw
