What's New

Recently, BYD Energy Storage successfully assisted in the commissioning and smooth operation of the Quillagua photovoltaic power station project in Chile, operated by Contour Global, the largest photovoltaic power station in Latin America. The project has a scale of 221MW/1200MWh, equipped with over 452000 solar panels and 267 sets of MC Cube BYD Cube energy storage systems.

The Kiagua power plant is located on the edge of the Atacama Desert, where solar energy resources are most abundant in the world. BYD Energy Storage's customized high safety and high protection MC Cube energy storage system adopts CTS (direct to system) super integration technology, which directly integrates blade batteries into the energy storage system. The space utilization rate is greatly increased by 98%, and the Vcts (cell to system volume ratio) index exceeds 33%. It has the advantages of easy layout, easy installation, easy maintenance, easy capacity expansion, and easy transportation. The modular compartment design and cluster level safety protection perfectly adapt to the high temperature and strong wind and sand application environment in desert areas, reducing the project's full life cycle operation and maintenance costs from the source.

At the same time, the BYD Rubik's Cube energy storage system helps the Kiagua power station to continuously supply power to the grid for 6.2 hours at a power of 200000 kW after sunset, achieving full time clean energy supply of "daytime power generation and nighttime power supply". At present, the project has entered the stage of commercial operation preparation and will fulfill the long-term clean energy purchase agreement (PPA) in the coming weeks. It will not only ensure stable supply of solar energy at night, but also put surplus electricity into the market. With the additional incentive of night feeding, it can obtain revenue from the electricity market, improve the economic efficiency of the energy storage system, and empower Chile's energy transformation to accelerate.
