Recently, Tianhe Energy Storage has reached an important cooperation agreement with Atlas Renewable Energy, a leading global renewable energy developer, to jointly develop a grid type energy storage project with a scale of 233MW/1003MWh in Chile. This is the second GWh level energy storage order won by Tianhe Energy Storage after previous overseas orders, demonstrating the competitiveness and influence of Chinese energy storage companies in the global high-end market.

The project, launched shortly after Atlas Renewable Energy completed a $475 million financing, will serve as a key component of Chile's large-scale photovoltaic+energy storage complex, aiming to provide clean electricity for local mining while enhancing the stability and resilience of the national power grid. In the context of accelerating the integration of renewable energy into the grid in Latin America, the promotion of this project has important demonstration significance.

With the increasing penetration rate of renewable energy in Latin America, the power system is facing new challenges such as decreased inertia and deteriorating voltage and frequency stability. Traditional grid connected energy storage is no longer sufficient to meet stable operational needs in weak power grids or high fluctuation scenarios. The grid type control strategy adopted by Tianhe Energy Storage represents the forefront direction of energy storage technology development. The system has voltage source characteristics and can autonomously establish voltage and frequency without external power grid support, achieving key functions such as black start, virtual inertia support, and damping oscillation suppression, providing active support for the power grid.

This advanced technology will significantly enhance the disturbance resistance of the Chilean power grid, effectively suppress broadband oscillations, and maintain stable operation of critical loads during power grid failures or outages. Especially in areas with weak power grids, this system can effectively prevent the spread of faults and provide reliable support for Chile's national power grid. After completion, the project will not only provide clean energy solutions for Chile's mining industry, but also support the in-depth implementation of the country's energy transformation strategy by enhancing the reliability of the power grid.

The breakthrough of Tianhe Energy Storage in the Chilean market marks the upgrade of Chinese energy storage companies from product output to technical standards and solution output. Grid based energy storage, as a key technology for building new power systems, is receiving increasing attention and application worldwide. The implementation of this project will set a new benchmark for China's energy storage industry to expand overseas markets, and also provide replicable successful experience for the development of renewable energy in Latin America. With the acceleration of the global energy transition process, Chinese energy storage enterprises are playing an increasingly important role on the international stage with their advanced technological strength and rich project experience.Editor/Cheng Liting
