Foreign Media: China has built the world's largest "ultra-low temperature air battery" in the Gobi Desert, accelerating clean energy storage
China has built the world's largest liquid air energy storage power station in the Gobi Desert near Golmud in Qinghai Province. The project was constructed by China Green Development Investment Group and developed in collaboration with the Institute of Physics and Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The device compresses and cools air to -194 degrees Celsius to liquefy it, and when released, the volume expands more than 750 times, driving a turbine to generate electricity. A single discharge of the power station can output 600,000 kilowatt-hours and can run continuously for 10 hours. It is expected to generate about 180 million kilowatt-hours annually, meeting the electricity needs of about 30,000 households.
Researchers said that this facility helps to stabilize the fluctuations of renewable energy sources such as wind and photovoltaic power, improving the stability of the power system.
