The project, considered the world's largest solar-storage project, will install 3.5GW of solar photovoltaic capacity and a 4.5GWh battery storage system. The project has commenced in November 2024.
[pdf] The project concept and design is based on a state-of-the-art technology of hybrid operation between the existing hydropower plant turbines of UHE with new utility-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS) to provide a quick frequency response to the national power grid, while simultaneously reducing the wear–and-tear on the hydro units, extending their overhaul interval and lifetime, improving the overall power system reliability, and reducing operational costs.
[pdf] The new hybrid storage system developed in the HyFlow project combines a high-power vanadium redox flow battery and a green supercapacitor to flexibly balance out the demand for electricity and energy in critical grid situations.
