Chasing the Light and Building Dreams - Shouhang Gaoke's Solar Thermal Energy Storage Technology Lights up the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau | The Three Gorges Golmud Tower Molten Salt Solar Thermal Project is connected to the grid for power generation
Time：2025-05-12
At 11:02 on May 9, 2025, the 100MW solar thermal EPC general contracting project of Three Gorges Energy in Golmud, with Shouhang High-Tech as the consortium member, operated continuously and stably under load for 6 hours, successfully achieving full system operation and power generation, marking the smooth operation of another landmark project in China's solar thermal power generation field.
This project is located in the Wutumeiren Solar Power Generation Base in Golmud City, Haixi Prefecture, Qinghai Province, with a construction scale of 1×100MW of molten salt tower solar thermal power generation capacity. The project adopts advanced tower-type concentrating power generation technology and is equipped with an 8-hour molten salt heat storage system, which can achieve stable and continuous power generation. After the project is put into operation, the annual designed utilization hours will be approximately 2,271 hours. The average annual power generation is 227.138 million kilowatt-hours. It can save 69,240 tons of standard coal annually, reduce 188,950 tons of carbon dioxide, 7.267 tons of smoke dust, 36.34 tons of sulfur dioxide and 40.65 tons of nitrogen oxides.
This project is EPC general contracted by a consortium composed of Shouhang High-Tech, Northwest Electric Power Design Institute Co., Ltd. of China Power Engineering Consulting Group, Sichuan Engineering Co., Ltd. of China Power Construction Corporation, and Shanghai Survey and Design Institute Co., LTD. Shouhang Hi-Tech is mainly responsible for the installation of mirror field concentrating and heat collection systems, heat absorbers, cold and hot salt tank equipment, as well as the supply of air cooling and auxiliary cooling equipment, and the commissioning and operation and maintenance of power stations. By fully leveraging its core technical advantages in the field of solar thermal energy, as well as its engineering construction and operation experience, it ensures the efficient integration and precise implementation of key systems, providing solid support for the smooth progress of the project.
During the project's advancement, the members of the consortium worked closely together. Facing numerous unfavorable factors such as the severe cold of the plateau, frequent sandstorms, difficulties in equipment transportation, and tight construction periods, they overcame difficulties and fought collaboratively, ensuring the project was completed safely, with high quality and efficiency. This fully demonstrated the technical strength and execution ability of all parties in the consortium in the construction of major new energy projects.
The successful grid connection of the project not only effectively alleviated the problem of "abandoned solar and wind power" in the new energy stations of Golmud area, but also accelerated the optimization and upgrading of the local energy structure and promoted the development of emerging industries such as energy storage. The completion of the project has significantly enhanced the regional clean energy utilization efficiency and the operation level of the power system, injecting strong impetus into Qinghai's efforts to build a national clean energy demonstration province and achieve the "dual carbon" goals.
