Baotou Weijun 1.2GWh Grid-Side Stand-Alone Energy Storage Power Station
Intelligent Control and Proactive Safety Protection Ensure Stable Operation of the Entire Plant
To suit Inner Mongolia’s extreme outdoor conditions—low temperatures and frequent sandstorms—Gotion High-Tech has custom-designed an intelligent liquid-cooled energy storage solution for this project, achieving a precise match between technology and application scenario. The project deploys 120 sets of Guoxuan’s self-developed 10MWh energy storage units, each equipped with in-house designed and manufactured high-performance, long-cycle-life lithium iron phosphate battery cells suitable for grid-forming power plants. Advanced intelligent temperature-control technology dynamically adjusts operating strategies based on site conditions to maximize energy efficiency. Integrated proactive safety features—including battery-module thermal-runaway monitoring, PACK-level immersion cooling, and a multi-stage fire-suppression system—mitigate operational risks at the source, ensuring the long-term safe and reliable operation of the energy storage plant.
“Investment-Construction-Operation Integration” Takes Root, Building a Diversified Model Framework
This grid connection marks the successful implementation of Gotion High-Tech Energy Storage’s integrated investment-construction-operation model. The project breaks away from the conventional, one-dimensional “technology export” model by engaging deeply across the entire value chain—investment, design, construction, equipment supply, and operations—thereby showcasing Gotion High-Tech’s comprehensive strength in the energy storage sector. Notably, the entire substation adopts a prefabricated structural system—featuring precast foundations, precast firewalls, and precast cable trenches—which significantly reduces on-site civil works, shortens the construction schedule, and enhances construction quality. As a result, full-capacity commissioning was completed in just two months, enabling early grid connection and setting a new industry record for the fastest-ever grid-connection time. This achievement fully demonstrates Gotion High-Tech’s deep local roots in Inner Mongolia, its ability to execute projects efficiently, and its strong capabilities in resource integration and cross-functional collaboration. As an independent market participant, the power plant can participate in various electricity market transactions immediately after commissioning, thereby further expanding its profit margins.
Anchor Regional Transformation, Fortify Energy Security
As Inner Mongolia’s first demonstration project to achieve dual-mode operation—shared energy storage and frequency regulation services—the grid connection of the Baotou Weijun Power Station not only injects new momentum into regional renewable energy integration and grid regulation but also carries multilevel strategic significance. This project is accelerating the high-quality development of Inner Mongolia’s new energy industry, helping the region establish itself as a national demonstration hub for the new energy and energy storage sectors and providing an “Inner Mongolia model” for the energy transition. Moreover, it will offer the “Guoxuan Experience” to support the large-scale, high-quality deployment of next-generation energy storage technologies, thereby speeding up the construction of a new type of power system nationwide and furnishing critical support for China’s energy structure transformation and enhanced energy self-reliance and control.
Deepening Zero-Carbon Development in Western China to Create a Full-Chain Ecological Model
The successful grid connection of the Baotou Weijun Power Station marks another significant milestone in Gotion High-Tech’s deep engagement in Inner Mongolia and its broader strategy to develop a zero-carbon industry in western China. Currently, Gotion High-Tech has established a diversified, zero-carbon ecosystem in western China. Recently, the company unveiled its “Zero-Carbon Solution for High-Energy-Consumption Factories” in Wuhai, Inner Mongolia, taking the lead in building the world’s first zero-carbon anode-materials manufacturing base. This initiative not only achieves a zero-carbon closed-loop within the industry itself but also offers a new pathway for numerous high-energy-consuming enterprises to transition toward zero-carbon operations. It injects fresh momentum into the green transformation of the Western Development strategy.
The San Chong San Fang demonstration project at Guoxuan’s Weijun energy storage power station in Baotou has been successfully completed.
In the future, Guoxuan will continue to deepen its presence in western China, taking technological innovation as its core and whole-industry-chain collaboration as its support, to scale up the replication of a zero-carbon ecological model. This will provide more comprehensive solutions for China’s energy transition while contributing “Chinese wisdom” and a “Chinese approach” to the global move toward a zero-carbon future.
