[Haichuan New Energy] Sinopec and CATL complete construction and commissioning of the first “photovoltaic charging and inspection” energy station

Thread Content

On August 1, the first “photovoltaic charging and inspection” fueling station project jointly developed in Fujian by Sinopec Fujian Petroleum and CATL was put into operation at the Mindong Road gas station in Ningde, Fujian. It is understood that the photovoltaic power generation system at this station operates in a flexible manner in interaction with the public power grid, while remaining relatively independent; it makes full use of green energy to meet the electrical needs of the station, thereby increasing the proportion of clean energy used for power supply there. The installed capacity of this photovoltaic system is 72.15 KWp, with an annual power generation volume estimated at 80,000 kWh. Compared to traditional fossil fuels, it can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by over 1,570 tons throughout the project’s lifetime. This station features an integrated container design and is equipped with 6 high-power DC fast charging ports. It has bidirectional charging and discharging capabilities as well as battery monitoring functions. It offers a user-friendly interface, supports remote operation via APPs, mini-programs, and the WEB, and comes with comprehensive protection features including a fire suppression system, automatic fire and smoke detection and alarm systems, as well as audio and visual alarms and remote fault monitoring – all of which ensure charging safety while meeting customers’ needs for rapid charging. In addition, the station’s proprietary AI-based online battery monitoring technology enables early warning of battery-related risks. Customers can use the online monitoring reports available on their smartphones to stay informed about the condition of their vehicle’s batteries, thereby further ensuring safe vehicle usage. The Fujian Ningde Mindong Road Comprehensive Energy Station is located on the main Mindong Road in Ningde city, covering an area of 3,888 square meters. Situated at an important transportation hub in the city, it offers drivers a one-stop service that includes fueling, tunnel washing, and EasyPass services, thereby meeting the diverse energy service needs of end customers.
