(hereinafter referred to as Lanxing Beihua Ji) successfully signed an EPC contract for molten salt storage tanks for a 100-megawatt concentrated solar power project in Jinta County, Gansu Province, with Jinta Zhongguang Solar Power Generation Co., Ltd. This is the 9th project that Lanxing Beihua Ji has participated in in the field of concentrated solar power generation. The Jinta project has a total installed capacity of 700,000 kilowatts and adopts a \"concentrated solar power +\" configuration, including 100,000 kilowatts of concentrated solar power and 600,000 kilowatts of photovoltaic power. Its designed annual power generation capacity is 1.37 billion kWh. The concentrated solar power component makes use of tower-type molten salt concentrated solar power generation technology, along with a 9-hour molten salt energy storage system. Lanxing Beihua Machinery leverages the technical expertise it has accumulated over many years of work in the field of special equipment to carry out research and development on the core processes and key equipment related to molten salt energy storage. To address the challenges associated with molten salt energy storage systems, such as system complexity, high temperatures, strong corrosivity, large capacity, extremely harsh operating conditions, and the lack of relevant reference standards both domestically and internationally, efforts were made in areas such as innovation in the basic structure, innovation in the design of key equipment, simulation-based design and calculation, and experimental verification. As a result, these technical challenges were effectively resolved, and multiple proprietary technologies were developed. In particular, there is Blue Star Beihua Machinery’s proprietary anti-settlement foundation technology: the insulation material used within the foundation offers excellent thermal insulation properties and compressive strength, which helps to prevent uneven settlement and provides better support for the storage tanks. This type of foundation design not only has strong load-bearing capacity but also excellent thermal insulation properties, meeting the performance requirements for tank foundations in such projects. Previously, Lanxing Beihua Machinery also successfully undertook the tasks of manufacturing, installing, and constructing energy storage systems for the 100-megawatt molten salt tower project in the first phase of Dubai’s 950-megawatt solar thermal and photovoltaic power generation project. This project is the largest and most technologically advanced tower-type concentrated solar power project in the world, and it is also a key project under the Belt and Road Initiative. This marks that Blue Star North Chemical Machinery’s molten salt energy storage technology has reached international first-class standards, and its molten salt energy storage products and technologies have officially entered the international market.
