An integrated wind, optical storage, charging and discharging project in Pingshan. 

Twenty integrated optical storage and charging projects were launched Nov. 3 at a ceremony at the New Energy Vehicle Industrial Park in Pingshan. These projects will be in industrial parks, commercial centers, sports venues, research institutes and government departments in the district.

Upon completion, the cumulative annual photovoltaic power generation of this batch of projects may reach 30.5 million kWh, with a total lifecycle of 762.5 million kWh of green power. It can save about 270,000 tons of standard coal, reduce carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 760,000 tons, reduce sulfur dioxide emissions by about 7,000 tons, and reduce nitrogen oxide emissions by about 2,000 tons. Through technological innovation, it will help achieve China’s carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals for sustainable and green development.

An optical storage and charging project at the New Energy Vehicle Industrial Park is designed with a photovoltaic installation capacity of 700 kWp (kilowatts peak) and a storage capacity of 1 MWh. It is equipped with super-fast charging piles and vehicle-to-grid; wind power generation facilities are planned nearby. It can generate 7 million kWh of green power annually and reduce carbon emissions by approximately 2,100 tons each year.

Benefiting from the rapid development of new energy vehicles (NEVs) and consumer electronics industries, Pingshan has a complete industry chain for integrated optical storage and charging. Key enterprises in the industry chain include Shell BYD, FinDreams Battery, Hailei New Energy, Ebusbar and Goldpower. Through technological innovation, the district promotes the optimization, transformation, and upgrading of industrial structure. It also drives the large-scale development of the photovoltaic industry, the NEV industry and the electrochemical energy storage industry, and further improves the energy infrastructure system to promote green and low-carbon energy development.

Pingshan has also advanced the construction of photovoltaic, energy storage, and charging facilities. As of the end of October, there have been 76 distributed photovoltaic projects built and under construction, with a capacity of 46.2 MW. A total of 267 charging stations have been built, covering residential, office, commercial, industrial and leisure areas. Pingshan’s ratio of vehicles to charging posts is 3.3:1, surpassing the city’s average level.

By the end of 2023, eight supercharging stations will be built, and by the end of March 2024, 15 supercharging stations will be established, to contribute to making Shenzhen a “city of supercharging.”
