Located in the wind-rich region of Inner Mongolia, the Shangdu project integrates a 100 MW / 200 MWh energy storage system directly with large-scale wind power generation. Unlike conventional grid-side projects, Shangdu is designed specifically to address the volatility of wind resources.
The system enables real-time smoothing of wind fluctuations, reducing curtailment and ensuring more predictable power delivery to the grid. By shifting excess wind energy to peak demand periods, the project maximizes renewable utilization while supporting regional energy security.
This project illustrates the strategic role of storage in renewable integration: instead of acting only as a backup, storage here works as a true enabler of clean energy. Shangdu demonstrates how hybrid wind + storage projects can transform resource variability into reliable, dispatchable energy, serving as a model for northern China’s decarbonization pathway.
