全球最大液态空气储能示范项目进入调试阶段

Core Insights - The world's largest liquid air energy storage demonstration project, developed and constructed independently by China, has completed its infrastructure and equipment installation, now entering the debugging phase [1] Project Overview - The project is located in Golmud City, Haixi Mongolian and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province, with a capacity of 60,000 kW and 600,000 kWh, complemented by 250,000 kW of photovoltaic power [1] - It has been selected as a pilot demonstration project for new energy storage by the National Energy Administration of China [1] Technological Advantages - The core of the project is to transform air into an energy storage medium in extremely cold conditions [1] - Liquid air has a density 750 times that of gaseous air at room temperature, allowing for safe storage at normal pressure [1] - This technology addresses the low density and safety issues of traditional energy storage, while also being clean and low-carbon, as it uses air as the working medium with no CO2 or pollutant emissions [1] Operational Efficiency - The project can discharge energy continuously for 10 hours in a single storage cycle, delivering 600,000 kWh of clean electricity [1] - The annual transmission capacity is expected to reach approximately 180 million kWh, sufficient to meet the annual electricity needs of 30,000 households [1]
