The capacity of the power station is 300MW/1200MWh, and the project announcement period is from February 13, 2026 to February 26.Editor/Yang Meiling
Qinghai Gonghe Dingyao Solar Energy Storage Power Station has completed the world's first on-site test of new energy broadband oscillation excitation and integrated synchronous generator suppression for solar energy storage. The test was jointly completed by State Grid Northwest Division, China Electric Power Research Institute, State Power Investment Yellow River Company, Nanrui Jibao, and university experts, achieving a double first breakthrough. The grid structured photovoltaic integrated synchronous generator jointly developed by Huanghe Company and Nanrui Jibao has successfully passed the special test for suppressing wideband oscillations in new energy, providing key technical support for the high proportion of new energy grid connection.Editor/Yang Meiling
