Sungrow Installs 20 MW Solar PV & Energy Storage Micro-grid Plant in Tibet

Hefei, China -

PV inverter manufacturer Sungrow Power Supply Co., Ltd. announced a solar photovoltaic (PV) & energy storage micro-grid power plant with 13 MW of PV inverters and 7 MW of energy storage inverters, was successfully installed in Shuanghu, China, the highest region in the world located in China’s Tibet province.

The 20 MW micro-grid power plant aims to provide electricity to over 14,000 people living in the vicinity, with average elevations reaching heights of over 5,000 meters.

With temperatures often dipping below -5℃ and the lowest temperatures recorded at -40℃, Shuanghu County’s extreme climate has frequently posed challenges to inverters and other solar components, operating in the region’s frigid conditions.

Sungrow’s solar and energy storage inverters, together with the company‘s batteries systems, are employed in this project.

“We are always dedicated to bringing green and effective energy to markets in need all around the world, especially for those who reside in areas with limited access to electricity,” said Professor Renxian Cao, President of Sungrow.

The Symantec researchers said an earlier wave of attacks by the same group starting in 2011 was used to gather intelligence on companies and their operational systems. The hackers then used that information for a more advanced wave of attacks targeting industrial control systems that, if disabled, leave millions without power or…
