China Launches Lithium-Sodium Hybrid Energy Storage
CSG''s power grid covers the five provincial-level regions in southern China and is connected to the power grids of Hong Kong and Macao SARs, as well as Southeast Asian countries,
In May 2024, Southern Grid commissioned a 10 MWh sodium-ion battery energy storage station in Nanning, Guangxi province, the first large-scale sodium-ion battery energy storage station in China. The energy storage station can store 100,000 kWh of electricity on a single charge, which can meet the needs of around 12,000 households for a day.
As standardization frameworks develop, lithium-sodium hybrid systems could see broader deployment across China's renewable-rich regions such as Tibet, Xinjiang, and Gansu. Grid-forming storage is projected to account for up to 40% of China's new energy storage market by 2030.
The Baochi energy storage station -- operated by China Southern Power Grid (Southern Grid) and located in Wenshan, Yunnan province in southwestern China -- can store up to 800,000 kWh of electricity per day, which can be used by 270,000 households, according to a Xinhua news agency report yesterday.
CSG estimates that the hybrid lithium-sodium model reduces system costs by around 30% compared with sodium-only storage, offering a more balanced trade-off between efficiency and economics.
