[Shaoyang Matangshan Township starts construction of disaster resistant microgrid] Recently, the first township level disaster resistant smart microgrid project in China, which integrates wind power, photovoltaics, small hydropower, and energy storage, the comprehensive demonstration project of the disaster resistant smart microgrid in Matangshan Township, Shaoyang, Hunan Province, held the "Party Building+" award ceremony and groundbreaking ceremony. Liu Zhengyi, Chief Engineer of State Grid Hunan Electric Power, attended and announced the start of construction. Relevant professional departments, State Grid Shaoyang Power Supply Company, Longhui County Government, Tsinghua University and other participating units participated in the construction. Matangshan Township is located in the hinterland of the Xuefeng Mountain Range, with high altitude and long frost period, and prominent issues with power supply reliability and energy quality. State Grid Hunan Electric Power, in conjunction with local resources, has innovatively proposed a flexible and interactive "wind solar water storage" disaster resistant end of pipe guarantee smart microgrid construction plan, with a total investment of 30.55 million yuan, saving about 50% of grid investment compared to traditional conventional 35 kV transmission and transformation projects. This project applies new technologies such as new energy and energy storage adaptive network construction, builds a flexible interactive system of "wind, light, water, and storage", constructs energy storage power stations, equipped with intelligent control systems, and can operate independently off the grid in extreme disasters. Shaoyang Power Supply Company deepens the "Party Building Leading · Grid Transformation and Enhancement" project, establishes a temporary party branch to provide guarantees for the project's implementation. The project is expected to be completed and put into operation by the end of June 2026. After it is put into operation, the local power supply reliability and voltage qualification rate will be greatly improved, clean energy will be utilized 100%, and green electricity will account for over 96%.
