1. According to Goldwind, its Mannar Project in Sri Lanka has recently achieved the installation and commercial operation of all wind turbines. The project comprises 6 GW121-2.5MW units, providing a total capacity of 15MW.
2. The dome of No.3 unit of Xudapu Nuclear Power Plant (NPP), one of the largest China-Russia nuclear energy cooperation projects, was installed Tue in NE China's Liaoning. The plant's No.3 & 4 units are expected to deliver 16 bln kWh of clean electricity per year upon completion, according to People's Daily.
3. Recently, Chinese scientists used membrane separation tech to extract lithium by acid leaching and achieved lithium recovery of over 90% from decommissioned lithium-ion batteries, marking a new way to recycle decommissioned power batteries and stabilize resources supply.
4. PV+AroundUs In Baozhigu International Conference Center Beijing, a photovoltaic version of a heat and cold storage tank, customized by SPIC, supplies power for 42,000 square meters building area, helping the center save more than RMB one million per year.
5. According to State Grid, its Xiangyang Electric Power Company creates a modern intelligent material supply chain by deeply integrating three segments of test,storage and distribution. This chain plays an important role as storage network hub and reservoir.
6. According to official information, a total of 80 hydrogen-powered buses will be put into use during the Chengdu Universiade from July 28 to August 8, serving athletes and staff from various countries and regions. The domestically developed bus consumes 4kg of hydrogen each 100km and can run 450km on one refuel.
7. On July 23, the 2nd phase of Jingtai Suancigou Electric Power Plant 1,000kV power transmission project was put into service. The project can annually transport 6.6 billion KWH electricity to east and north China, which could effectively enhance power supply guarantee there, according to State Grid.
8. Chinese battery giant CATL’s net profit jumped 154% to CNY20.7 bln (USD2.9 bln) in the first half from a year earlier, according to its latest earnings report released yesterday. Revenue rose 68% to CNY189.2 bln (USD26.5 bln).
9. Researchers from Inha University in China have proposed to use an algorithm that simulates the behavior of foraging bees to shape a new grid-forming inverter design. The approach is designed for both grid-connected and islanded inverters, according to pv magazine.
10. Electricians have been conducting acceptance checks on a 500 kV power transmission project in Shenzhen, south China's Guangdong recently. The project, a key part of the power upgrade in the province, will boost the power grid in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
