Customer requirement: A multi-megawatt (MW) solar photovoltaic power plant.
Our solution:
• Installed Capacity: Configured at 3.5 MWp. This exceeds the base load, primarily to provide a margin for system losses and component degradation.
• Module Selection: Utilizes 550Wp+ high-efficiency monocrystalline bifacial modules, aiming to further reduce the cost per kilowatt-hour by improving power generation efficiency.
• Mounting System: Recommended use of tracking or fixed-tilt systems (hot-dip galvanized steel), requiring customized structural design based on the geographical location and wind speed in Southwest China.
• Land Area: Estimated land requirement of 4.2 - 5.2 hectares (based on industry experience of 1.2 - 1.5 hectares/MW).
3. Energy Storage System (BESS)
The energy storage system is a critical component in ensuring the quality of power supply to the mining area:
• Storage Capacity: Configured at 3 MWh. Primarily used to provide basic load at night or support short-term operation in the absence of sunlight.
• Battery Type: Uses lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries. Offers advantages of high safety, long cycle life (greater than 6000 cycles), and high energy density.
• Power Capacity: Configured at 2 MW. Focused on meeting rapid charging and discharging needs to handle load fluctuations.
• Core Equipment Components:
• Power Conversion System (PCS)
• Battery Management System (BMS)
• Energy Management System (EMS)
• Function: Achieves millisecond-level coordinated control between photovoltaic, energy storage, and the grid/generator.
