The giant 690 MWac/966 MWdc Gemini solar power project planned for Las Vegas, Nevada, will include 1,416 MWh of energy storage capacity. This will be one of the largest solar+storage projects in the United States, or the world for that matter.
Primergy Solar LLC is developing the $1.2 billion project. “Primergy designed an innovative DC coupled system for the Gemini project, which will maximize efficiency from the teaming of the solar array with the CATL storage system,” CATL writes. “CATL will supply Primergy Solar with EnerOne, a modular outdoor liquid cooling battery energy storage system that features long service life, high integration, and high degree of safety. With a cycle life of up to 10,000 cycles, the LFP-based battery product will contribute to the safe and reliable operation of the Gemini project. Primergy selected the EnerOne solution for Gemini because it utilizes advanced lithium phosphate chemistry which meets Primergy’s requirements for safe and reliable operations at its sites.”
