Sungrow, a leading provider of photovoltaic inverters and energy storage systems, has announced the commissioning of the Santong Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in Malaysia. Developed by Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB), this project marks a significant step in integrating battery energy storage into the national grid.
Located in Terengganu, the 100MW/400MWh Santong BESS is pivotal in Malaysia’s energy transition, enhancing grid resilience and supporting renewable energy integration. The project is designed to achieve an 88% round-trip efficiency in its first year and operates in both grid-following and grid-forming modes to ensure stability and reliability.
Sungrow has provided a comprehensive energy storage solution for this project, including 90 units of its PowerTitan 2.0 liquid-cooled energy storage systems. This deployment underscores Sungrow’s commitment to advancing energy storage technology and supporting Malaysia’s efforts to bolster its national power grid.
The Santong BESS project is expected to play a crucial role in Malaysia’s ongoing energy transition, enabling the country to integrate more renewable energy sources into its grid. As Malaysia continues to focus on sustainable energy solutions, projects like Santong BESS are essential in ensuring a stable and resilient power supply for the nation.
