On Sept 11, the construction of the Ordos Laboratory's 100-megawatt-hours high-efficiency, ultra-high-temperature fluidized industrial thermal energy storage project began in the Dalu Industrial Park of the Juungar Economic Development Zone in Ordos, North China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region.

This 100-MWh long-duration high-efficiency ultra-high-temperature fluidized industrial thermal energy storage project is another major technological demonstration project at the regional and municipal level, embodying the Ordos Laboratory's commitment to green and low-carbon development.

The project employs cutting-edge disruptive technologies from Tsinghua University, focusing on key technological research and the practical application of results. Based on the innovative "sand battery" and "thermal battery" concepts, it emphasizes the development of cutting-edge technologies in high-power, high-efficiency electric heat conversion, high-temperature high-flow gas-solid heat exchange, and high-temperature fluidized flow and heat transfer.

The aim is to advance the industrial application of large-scale high-power, high-efficiency, and high-temperature thermal energy storage technologies.

The project demonstrates that Ordos' output capacity from major innovation platforms has made a leap, and scientific and technological innovations are translating to real-world productivity with increasing efficiency.
