Nuying Huang, Taipei

Solar cell and PV module maker United Renewable Energy (URE), through partnerships with electric machinery maker Shihlin Electric & Engineering and battery solution developer Saft Groupe, has won a bid for setting up a 15MW energy storage system for state-run Taiwan Power Company (Taipower).

The energy storage system wii support a 15MWp PV power station already in operation in southern Taiwan, URE said. The energy storage system features AFC (automatic frequency control) functions to smooth flow of PV-generated electricity from the station into power grids, URE noted.

For the project, Shihlin will provide power transforming equipment and Saft battery solutions, URE indicated.
