SYDNEY, Aug. 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Sungrow, the global leading inverter and energy storage system solution supplier, announced a partnership with the Clean Energy Transfer Fund as key tolling partner for Hive Battery Developments. This collaboration aims to bring to life HIVE, a revolutionary energy storage initiative, using Sungrow's liquid cooling energy storage system (ESS) PowerTitan to energise the whole project. Empowered by cutting-edge solutions for energy storage deployment and utilisation, participating in frequency control ancillary services (FCAS) and arbitrage market, and further enlarging Australia's green power blueprint.
As Australia sets its sights on achieving net zero emissions and phasing out coal-fired power generation by 2050, the nation faces the challenge of ageing conventional power plants. To meet the growing demand, Australia aims to build over 50 clean power plants, highlighting the key role of energy storage in ensuring stable and efficient utilisation of renewable energy.
HIVE: A Visionary Battery Energy Storage Project
HIVE is an innovative, scalable, and distributed battery energy storage project that can be easily adjusted to meet diverse requirements. The first HIVE battery will span 10 sites in New South Wales, combining seamlessly to deliver up to 49.9MW/200MWh of distributed energy storage. Each site will be equipped with an average connection and coordination scale of nearly 5MW, all controlled by cutting-edge virtual power plant technology.
Innovative PowerTitan: The Future of Energy Storage
At the heart of each HIVE lies Sungrow's cutting-edge energy storage solution, PowerTitan. Employing liquid cooling technology, PowerTitan incorporates industry-leading innovations, offering cost-effectiveness, seamless installation, unmatched operational safety, enhanced efficiency, and extended battery cycle life. Additionally, the system features smart monitoring capabilities, setting a new standard for energy storage technology worldwide. The ease of installation means that a HIVE battery can become operational within six months, a significant reduction compared to traditional grid-scale batteries that could take over two years to deploy. Impressively, PowerTitan has already secured global contracts exceeding 9GWh.
