Solar Power Plant: 300MW / 1200MWh Grid-Forming Energy Storage Project

 

1. Project Overview

System Composition:

  • 120 sub-arrays (2.5MW / 10MWh each)

  • Each sub-array includes:

    • 1 × 10MWh battery cabin

    • 1 × 2.5MW PCS-booster unit

  • Each booster unit: 4 × 1250kW converters (operated at 625kW each)

Performance Highlights:

  • 300% overload for 10 seconds (up to 900MW output)

  • Monthly energy delivery: ~30 million kWh

2. Solution Design

  • Unit Design: 2.5MW PCS-booster + 2 × 5MWh liquid-cooled battery cabins

  • Feeder Lines: 25MW / 100MWh per line × 12 lines

  • Grid Connection: 220kV booster station linked to Auytak 220kV substation

  • Operation: Stable at 110% rated current for continuous operation

Core Functions:

  • Grid Support: Peak shaving, renewable smoothing, curtailment reduction

  • Voltage Stabilization: Rapid response to grid disturbances and overvoltage

  • Frequency Regulation: Active power sharing to slow frequency deviations

  • Grid Strengthening: Improves short-circuit ratio, enabling higher renewable penetration

  • Oscillation Suppression: Mitigates wideband oscillation risks

  • Fast voltage regulation (<100ms response)

  • AGC (Automatic Generation Control) & AVC (Automatic Voltage Control) support

  • Low-frequency oscillation suppression (0.2–2.5Hz)

  • Black-start capability with ≤5% current deviation

  • Stable operation under ±2Hz frequency variations

  • Real-time coordination with dispatching authorities
