Wedoany.com Report-Feb 11, The pioneering 1GW solar PV project integrated with a gas-fired power station in Qinghai, China, has been successfully connected to the grid. This milestone signifies the revitalization of a gas-fired power plant that had been inactive for over a decade and represents a major advancement in the deployment of renewable energy systems.
Located in the Qaidam Basin in Qinghai, an area renowned for its immense renewable energy potential, the project spans 16.78 square kilometers in the Gobi Desert and benefits from over 3,500 hours of sunlight annually. The adoption of Sineng Electric's 3.3MW MV turnkey solution has been essential in navigating the region's extreme environmental challenges, including high altitude, frequent wind and sand, and wide temperature fluctuations. These cutting-edge central inverters feature optimal power conversion efficiency and high protection rating, ensuring the solar facility's long-term performance and maximizing economic returns.
As the first million-kilowatt gas-renewable hybrid project on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, this power plant demonstrates the complementarity between solar energy and fossil fuel-based generation. This innovative approach not only enhances grid stability but also contributes to the decarbonization of the energy sector, thereby supporting China's sustainability goals.
Sineng Electric's advanced technologies have been instrumental in driving this green transformation. As a leader in energy transition, the company continues to leverage its technological expertise to advance clean energy solutions, create value for its stakeholders, and remain committed to achieving global energy security and carbon neutrality.
