Big up to China for literally finding a way to save the environment.
Judging by the article its purpose is to improve power availability during peak load times.
So an average Chinese home takes ~1MWh/mo of electricity, they have 100Mwh and they say 300 discharges a year and support 12000 people. So they expect this to cover about a fifth of the energy usage, which seems pretty great.
Where do you take that number from? 1MWh/mo seems quite high. Also considering that the stored energy will only be used when solar or wind are low, the battery will never be used to supply 100% of the electricity.
So it will support many more homes.
Um, why does the average Chinese home consume 1 MWh/mo? Or do they mean the battery capacity would account for one home consuming up to 1 MWh?
I got it from here
This looks like the largest plant, not the largest individual battery.
Lots of things casually called 'batteries' are compromised of smaller individual cells. Semantics.
Wow, that's some amazing stuff! Really looking forward to more of this globally...
That would never happen, because it's from China. We can't allow their superior technology on battery / green energy, so it's better to keep using oil - because politics, you know?
