Southeast Asia Information Port News (www.dnyxxg.com) – On November 21st, the Joint Laboratory for Clean Energy Source-Load-Storage in the High-Altitude Region was inaugurated in Xining, Qinghai Province, marking the completion of China's first integrated testing platform for source-grid-load-storage in a high-altitude environment.
Liu Bo, Director of the Qinghai Provincial Market Supervision Administration, introduced that Qinghai boasts abundant water resources, solar power, favorable winds, and vast land. New energy development can utilize 100,000 square kilometers of desert. Clean energy and new energy installed capacity account for 94.6% and 70% respectively, ranking first in China. Green electricity accounts for 77% of the total electricity consumption, making it the only pilot province in China for green energy computing and electricity collaboration.
However, the unique environment of high altitude, extreme cold, strong radiation, and fragile ecology presents numerous challenges to the stability of new energy power generation, the spatiotemporal matching of source and load, and the adaptability of equipment.
The newly established joint laboratory focuses on four core areas: technologies for adapting to extreme high-altitude environments, high-efficiency energy storage technologies, source-load synergistic control technologies, and eco-friendly development technologies. It will establish a high-altitude clean energy power generation experimental platform, an energy storage technology testing platform, a source-load synergistic control simulation platform, and a field testing base. It will also build a data sharing and results transformation system, connecting the entire chain from technology research and development to pilot-scale verification and industrial application.
After completion, the laboratory will rely on four specialized laboratories—electromagnetic compatibility, new energy, communication security, and metrology calibration—to build an integrated service model of "testing—metrology—scientific research—standards." This will provide full life-cycle technical testing for wind power, photovoltaic, and energy storage systems, solving equipment reliability challenges in high-altitude environments. Furthermore, it will tackle key technologies such as source-grid-load-storage synergistic control, efficient operation and maintenance of energy storage systems, and new energy grid integration and consumption, comprehensively improving the reliability and safety of source-grid-load-storage synergistic operation and filling technological gaps in the high-altitude energy field.
