Recently, Shangneng Electric's grid type energy storage, conversion, and boosting integrated machines have arrived at the port one after another, and the first batch of 1.1GW products with full capacity will be shipped before the end of the year. The products will be used for the Nefertiti energy storage power station and Horus energy storage power station in Egypt, respectively. After completion, the Nefertiti project will be the largest independent energy storage power station in Africa. From Chinese factories to the hinterland of the Aswan Desert, and then to the Red Sea coast, Shangneng Electric uses grid based energy storage technology to support the implementation of Egypt's renewable energy strategy.

Tailored for stable operation

The Nefertiti project is located in the heart of the Aswan Desert, where high temperatures and sandstorms occur year-round; The Horus project is located adjacent to the Red Sea coast, and the high humidity and high salt spray environment is equally harsh. Faced with vastly different and extreme natural conditions, Shangneng Electric provides two major projects with a 12MW converter boost integrated unit composed of a new generation 1.6MW series centralized energy storage PCS, equipped with second-generation enhanced hybrid network technology, to ensure long-term stable operation of the system in harsh environments and complex grid connection conditions with hardcore capabilities. In response to different environmental challenges such as high temperatures in deserts and salt spray along coasts, the product has undergone targeted protection design and thermal management optimization to ensure reliability and durability under extreme working conditions in the central and northeastern regions of China.

Stabilize fluctuations and build a black start network

As key energy storage projects in Egypt's renewable energy development strategy, the completion of the two projects will effectively mitigate fluctuations in new energy generation and comprehensively enhance the grid's peak shaving and frequency regulation capabilities. At the same time, the power station has made the black start capability of the entire station network as a core requirement at the beginning of planning and design. In response to this demand, Shangneng Electric has relied on years of accumulation of network construction control algorithms and global black start engineering debugging practices to assist owners and general contractors in developing system level implementation plans, providing a replicable model template for subsequent network construction and energy storage projects in Egypt and even globally. Grid based energy storage technology can actively support the stability of grid voltage and frequency, provide black start capability in case of grid faults, and is of great significance for the safe and stable operation of power grids with a high proportion of new energy integration.

Deeply cultivating the African market for many years

Shangneng Electric has been deeply involved in the African market for many years, and has won wide recognition for its excellent supply chain management capabilities and strong localized service capabilities. It has formed a good project reserve and customer trust. The delivery of 1.1GW grid type energy storage products further consolidates Shangneng Electric's leading position in the African energy storage market. In the future, Neng Electric will continue to deepen and expand its global presence, providing higher quality products and solutions to support the high-quality development of green energy worldwide. With the continuous growth of renewable energy installed capacity in Egypt, energy storage, as a key link supporting the consumption of new energy and the stability of the power grid, continues to release market demand. With the advantage of grid based energy storage technology, Shangneng Electric is establishing differentiated competitiveness in the energy storage market in the Middle East and Africa.Editor/Gao Xue
