I-OAKLAND, eCalif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–I-Primergy Solar LLC (Primergy), unjiniyela ohamba phambili, umnikazi kanye nomqhubi we-utility kanye ne-distributed scale solar kanye ne-storage, imemezela namuhla ukuthi isayine isivumelwano sokuhlinzeka ngebhethri elilodwa ne-Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (CATL), umholi womhlaba wonke kwezobuchwepheshe obusha bamandla, ngokuphula irekhodi le-US$1.2 billion Gemini Solar+Storage Project ngaphandle kweLas Vegas, eNevada.

Uma sekuqediwe, iGemini izoba ngomunye wamaphrojekthi amakhulu okugcina amandla elanga + e-US ane-690 MWc/966 MWdc solar array kanye nekhono lokugcina amandla angu-1,416 MWh. Ngasekuqaleni konyaka, iPrimergy yaqeda inqubo yokuthenga ebanzi nenemininingwane futhi yakhetha abahlinzeki bemishini abaningana abaphambili emhlabeni kanye nabalingani bokwakha bephrojekthi yeGemini.

“Ngethimba lePrimergy elinolwazi embonini, ikhono labo langaphakathi ekuthuthukisweni, ekwakhiweni nasekuphathweni kwezimpahla zesikhathi eside kanye nobuchwepheshe bebhethri obusha be-CATL,” kusho uTan Libin, iphini likamongameli we-CATL. “Sikholelwa ukuthi ukubambisana kwethu kwi-Gemini Solar Project kuzobeka isibonelo esihle sezinhlelo zokusebenza ezinkulu zokugcina amandla kagesi, ngaleyo ndlela kukhuthazwe isifiso somhlaba wonke sokungathathi hlangothi kwekhabhoni.

I-Primergy yaklama uhlelo olusha oluhlanganisiwe lwe-DC lwephrojekthi ye-Gemini, oluzokhulisa ukusebenza kahle kusukela ekuhlanganisweni kwe-solar array nesistimu yokugcina ye-CATL. I-CATL izohlinzeka nge-Primergy Solar nge-EnerOne, uhlelo lokugcina amandla ebhethri lokupholisa uketshezi lwangaphandle olunesikhathi eside sesevisi, ukuhlanganiswa okuphezulu, kanye nezinga eliphezulu lokuphepha. Ngokuphila komjikelezo okufinyelela kuma-cycles ayi-10,000, umkhiqizo webhethri osekelwe ku-LFP uzofaka isandla ekusebenzeni okuphephile nokuthembekile kwephrojekthi ye-Gemini. I-Primergy ikhethe ikhambi le-EnerOne le-Gemini ngoba isebenzisa i-lithium phosphate chemistry ethuthukisiwe ehlangabezana nezidingo ze-Primergy zokusebenza okuphephile nokuthembekile ezindaweni zayo.

“I-CATL ingumholi kwezobuchwepheshe embonini yamabhethri, futhi siyajabula ukubambisana nabo ku-Gemini Project futhi sibonise isisombululo se-CATL sokugcina i-EnerOne esithuthukisiwe,” kusho uTy Daul, iSikhulu Esiphezulu. “Ikusasa lokuthembeka kwamandla ezweni lethu kanye nokuqina lincike ekusetshenzisweni okukhulu kwamandla okugcina amabhethri angahlinzeka ngamandla aqhubekayo emuva kugridi lapho edingeka kakhulu. Sikanye ne-CATL, sakha uhlelo lokugcina amabhethri oluhamba phambili emakethe futhi oluyinkimbinkimbi kakhulu olungabamba amandla elanga amaningi emini futhi siwagcine ukuze asetshenziswe kusihlwa ngemva kokushona kwelanga eNevada.”
