On July 15, Sungrow and Saudi Arabia’s Algihaz successfully signed a contract for the world’s largest energy storage project, boasting a capacity of up to 7.8 GWh. This project, under the Saudi Electricity Company (SEC), spans three sites located in the Najran, Madaya, and Khamis Mushait regions of Saudi Arabia. Delivery will commence in 2024, with full capacity grid integration scheduled for 2025. The project aims to significantly enhance the stability and reliability of Saudi Arabia’s electrical grid, continuing to drive the realization of Saudi Arabia’s “2030 Vision.”
The project’s scale is massive, with tight delivery timelines, complex scheduling and management, high demands on grid support and operations. Sungrow will deploy over 1,500 sets of PowerTitan 2.0 liquid-cooled energy storage systems, featuring integrated AC storage design with high energy density, saving clients 55% of land area. Pre-installation and pre-commissioning will be completed before delivery to the sites, enabling immediate grid connection. Leveraging intelligent manufacturing capabilities and a global service system, Sungrow meets the project’s high-speed delivery requirements.
Additionally, the project includes nearly 7.8 million battery cells to tackle significant operational challenges. Sungrow ensures efficient and safe operation from cells to packs to the entire energy storage system through smart EMS and BMS systems. During design and construction, Sungrow will conduct system simulations and site-level grid Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) experiments to simulate local grid conditions, verify site-level strategy consistency, and ensure the safe and stable integration of the energy storage system into the Saudi Arabian grid. Once operational, the project is expected to have a lifespan of over fifteen years, ensuring stable and efficient plant operations with high returns.
