Company’s global expansion now reaches more than 750MW
NEC Energy Solutions (NEC ES), through its exclusive distributor in
China, Puxing Energy, continues to increase its market penetration with
the commissioning of two 9MW projects for Ray Power. The energy storage
systems, owned and operated by Ray Power, are providing frequency
regulation for the Hang-Jin and Feng-Run power plants located in Ordos
City, Neimongol Province and Tanshan City, Hebei Province respectively.
Additionally, NEC has also been awarded a 6MW project by Ray Power that
is currently under construction and located in Puzhou City, Shanxi
Province.
The recently commissioned Hang-Jin and Feng-Run projects are performing
frequency regulation, following an automatic generation control (AGC)
signal to provide high performance grid balancing services for the grid.
The installations are far faster and more effective at frequency
regulation than coal-fired power plants, which are slow and typically
provide inadequate service to the grid. By adding energy storage, these
power plants are now able to provide superior frequency regulation and
improve power plant economics.
The 6MW project in Puzhou City, Shanxi Province, will be providing
frequency regulation and is expected to be completed by the middle of
2019.
“Puxing Energy collaborated closely with NEC Energy Solutions to deliver
excellent energy storage solutions to Ray Power. The commissioning and
commercial operations of these projects have demonstrated once again the
safety and reliability of NEC ES’s systems that customers have come to
expect,” said Junyong Wei, CEO of Puxing Energy. “We are happy to
continue working together with NEC ES to implement energy storage across
China.”
“Since China has one of the fastest growing renewables and energy
storage markets in the world, our global expansion has been accelerated
across the country,” said Steve Fludder, CEO of NEC Energy Solutions.
“Our collaboration with Puxing Energy has been instrumental in our
success with Ray Power, a leader of frequency regulation services in the
market, since we first started working together in 2012. They are an
excellent customer and we look forward to working with them in the
future as the market continues to grow.”
