Sungrow Supplies Lochin 150MW/300MWh Energy Storage Project in Uzbekistan
Sungrow, the global leading PV inverter and energy storage system (ESS) provider, in partnership with China Energy Engineering Corporation (CEEC), are proud to announce the successful commissioning of a groundbreaking Lochin 150MW/300MWh energy storage project in Andijan Region, Uzbekistan. Installed with Sungrow's cutting-edge liquid-cooled ESS PowerTitan 2.0, this facility marks Uzbekistan's first energy storage project and stands as the largest of its kind in Central Asia. The project will play a pivotal role in driving the region's energy transition forward and setting a sustainable precedent.
Within the Framework of the Sustainable Development
Uzbekistan is planning a rapid increase in renewable actions. In early 2024, the Uzbek government raised its renewable energy target from 25% to 40% of the electricity mix by 2030. In addition, Uzbekistan heads to establish a more market-oriented electricity sector, with a new electricity legislation enacted last July. The introduction of energy storage projects provides greater supply security and helps mitigate the intermittency of renewable generation.
As a vital part of the national plan, the Lochin 300MWh BESS project will provide 2,190GWh of firm capacity and flexible power annually to support a more resilient local electricity grid. Sungrow supplied its PowerTitan BESS which is embedded with the grid-forming technology, delivering voltage regulation, frequency response, and oscillation damping services, ensuring a stable voltage and frequency in the weak Uzbekistan grid.
Standout Features of PowerTitan 2.0
The PowerTitan 2.0 is a professional integration of Sungrow's power electronics, electrochemistry, and power grid support technologies. The all-in-one AC-DC block design, with pre-assembled battery modules and PCS, ensures seamless integration and ease of installation, streamlining the grid connection time by 50%.
It offers a highly scalable design with plug-and-play architecture, supported by pre-certified fire safety compliance testing. Sungrow also conducted the world's largest BESS burn test for PowerTitan 2.0 last October, setting new safety standards.
It integrates iSolarBPS, pioneering battery pre-diagnostics with real-time monitoring and three-tier warning capabilities.
Central Asia has the potential to make an important contribution to the global energy transition. Sungrow has held a leading position in both PV and energy storage markets, and has supplied one of Kazakhstan's largest solar power plants. The company is prepared to power the region with a future-proof product portfolio and professional services, fully support the Central Asia's renewable ambition, and foster more community engagements.
