Longtan Battery-Based Energy Storage System Operational
Fluence, a global leader in energy storage solutions, has announced the commencement of operations for Taiwan’s largest government energy storage system. The 60 MW / 80 MWh Longtan battery-based energy storage system, located at the Taoyuan Longtan ultra-high voltage substation, was developed in partnership with TECO Electric & Machinery Co. (TECO).
Significance for Taiwan’s Net-Zero Transformation
The Longtan energy storage system stands as Taipower’s most extensive storage project in Taiwan, representing 37.5 percent of the company’s storage capacity. With an installed capacity equal to the daily electricity consumption of around 8,000 households, it marks a crucial milestone in Taiwan’s journey towards net-zero transformation.
Future Role in Offshore Wind Integration
As Taiwan plans to integrate a substantial amount of offshore wind power into its energy system, the Longtan project is strategically positioned to play a vital role in grid stabilization. Energy storage systems are anticipated to contribute significantly to balancing the power grid, especially during periods of increased reliance on offshore wind energy.
Commitment to Taiwan’s Energy Transition
Fluence, leveraging its global expertise in energy storage systems, collaborated with TECO to deliver a project exceeding Taipower’s technical requirements. The company expressed its dedication to Taiwan’s energy transition, emphasizing safety as a core element of its business practices.
Jan Teichmann, SVP & President APAC at Fluence, highlighted the company’s commitment to continued collaboration with local partners to expand energy storage opportunities in Taiwan. The deployment of energy storage solutions is viewed as a key enabler for accelerating Taiwan’s transition towards a more sustainable and resilient energy landscape.
