The World's Largest BIPV Station Achieved Success in Grid-connected Power Generation in Shanghai

On July 18th, the world's largest single BIPV power project—PV power project of Shanghai Hongqiao Station for Beijing-Shanghai Express Railway connected grid officially. The grid connection ceremony saw the attendance of leaders from Ministry of Railways, MOHURD, MIIT, and Ministry of Environmental Protection of the PRC, NDRC, National Energy Administration, State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council and Shanghai municipality. Chairman of China Energy Conservation& Environment Protection Group Wang Xiaokang and General manager Yu Hailong, etc attended the big event. Mr. Cao Renxian, General Manger of Sungrow Power Supply Co, Ltd was invited to be present at the grid connection ceremony.

 

 

The station invested by China Energy Conservation& Environment Protection Group and constructed by the Third Design Institute of Ministry of Railways fully utilizes the awing roofing on both sides of Hongqiao Railway Hub with a coverage of 61,000m2, 23,910 pieces of battery boards and a gross installed capacity of 6.68MW. Inverter equipments in the station all adopt the station grid-connected inverter of series produced by the Sungrow Power Supply Co, Ltd. Having passed the CQC Solar Product Certification and multiple international authoritative certifications, this kind of inverter has its technical specifications concerning reliability, conversion efficiency and power quality, etc reach the international advanced level and fulfills the standard for national grid connection. Meanwhile, the Sungrow Power Supply Co, Ltd also provides the station with accessory equipments referring to affluxion, power distribution, communication, supervisory control and software, etc.

 

 

Since the contract being signed, the Sungrow Power Supply Co, Ltd has timely sent the professional service team to perform the inverter installation and debugging works on site and provided multidirectional technical supports. To ensure the successful grid-connected generating on schedule, the technical service team of the Sungrow Power Supply Co, Ltd, strictly comply with the requirement of project organizer, made a scientific arrangement for each task , disaggregated and implemented these tasks one by one and cooperated with project organizer to race with time. During the short period of one month or so, we have succeed in the completion of installation and debugging of all inverter and power transmission and distribution equipments like inverters, photovoltaic array junction box, etc. The station, with an annual CO₂ emission being no less than 6,000t, has an annual power output of 6,300,000KWh which could be used by 12,000 residents for one year.

 

With the increasing demand for energy and deteriorating pollution caused by the traditional fossil energy word-wide, resent years has witnessed rapid development of the solar PV power generation which is becoming an internationally advanced utilization technology for renewable energy recourses and leading the trend of future energy revolution. The successful completion of Shanghai Hongqiao Railway Hub is another landmark for the Sungrow Power Supply Co, Ltd the field of BIPV utilization in the railway system after successive projects for Shanghai Expo. The completion of this project will play a positive leading and demonstrating role in boosting the development and utilization of solar PV power generation technology and promoting the energy saving and emission reduction along the railways in China.
