On December 19, the 350MW/700MWh independent energy storage station project, led by HYTOP New Energy, was successfully grid-connected in Minle County, Zhangye City, Gansu Province. As a core component of Gansu Province's advanced comprehensive energy demonstration base and the Phase II project of Gansu's largest single-unit grid-side shared energy storage station, this grid connection not only marks a key step forward in HYTOP New Energy's business development, but also provides a "Zhangye model" for the construction of energy storage stations in Gansu's new-type power system, injecting strong momentum into the green and low-carbon transformation of the regional economy.
A 100-Day Campaign: Delivering the Project Despite Snow and Wind
Under the "Dual Carbon" strategy, Zhangye City in Gansu Province is actively building energy storage stations for its new-type power system. As one of the benchmark large-capacity energy storage projects in the region, the project officially commenced in September 2025, with a construction scale of 350MW/700MWh. It adopts a lithium iron phosphate battery integrated prefabricated cabin solution, collects power through 35kV collector lines, and connects to a 330kV energy storage booster station, achieving efficient integration with Gansu's main grid.
As winter arrived, Minle County experienced multiple snowfalls and a sharp drop in temperature. Facing rain, snow, and a tight construction schedule, the HYTOP New Energy team overcame difficulties and worked at full capacity. While ensuring safety and construction quality, the team successfully completed the grid connection, creating a new "HYTOP speed" on the vast Gobi desert.
Value Empowerment: One-Stop Station Construction and Operation
Leveraging its technical accumulation in the energy storage field, extensive project construction experience, and AI-empowered full-cycle operation capabilities, HYTOP New Energy provided the project with one-stop services covering the entire process from construction and grid connection to operation.
Relying on Gansu Province's "frequency regulation + spot market" dual-market clearing mechanism, the project will seize policy opportunities in the future to build a diversified revenue model of "spot market + peak-shaving capacity compensation + frequency regulation ancillary services." In particular, once operational, the station can participate in the secondary frequency regulation ancillary services market. With second-level response and high-precision AGC frequency regulation capabilities, it can precisely correct system frequency on the basis of primary frequency regulation, helping improve grid voltage stability in the renewable-rich Hexi Corridor and providing a "buffer" and "stabilizer" for the large-scale grid integration and consumption of wind and photovoltaic power.
With surging momentum, a new journey begins; as all things renew, the time is right. The successful grid connection of the Minle energy storage station is another vivid practice of HYTOP New Energy fulfilling its "Dual Carbon" mission and supporting the construction of a new-type power system. In the future, HYTOP New Energy will continue to use technological innovation as its engine and full-cycle services as its guarantee to promote the implementation of more energy storage projects, striving to become a trusted zero-carbon ecosystem partner.
