On November 9 at 16:00, at coordinates 44°7′N, 80°37′E beside the 402-kilometre border, the switch was closed and the transformer indicator lights illuminated. Kortrong successfully synchronized the world's largest & Xinjiang’s first immersion liquid cooling energy storage station — 300 MW/600 MWh, fully grid-forming — in one complete block.
01 Built for the Frontier
In a region with more than 3,000 hours of annual sunshine and over 200 days of Level 8 or higher winds, the station was constructed in just over 100 days and nights through precise hoisting and rapid deployment of multi-ton storage units, refined liquid-injection processes, and multi-level testing and verification — ensuring efficient, stable operation in the harshest environment.
02 From Supporting Facility to Grid Cornerstone
More than a shared energy storage station, it now acts as a stabilising cornerstone for the Northwest China grid.
Using grid-forming technology, it establishes a voltage source for large-grid stable operation, delivering rapid frequency and voltage regulation, enhanced inertia and short-circuit capacity, effective suppression of wide-frequency oscillations, dynamic reactive compensation, and black-start functionality.
With 300 MW/600 MWh capacity and millisecond-level dynamic response, it absorbs 600,000 kWh of curtailed renewable energy daily, achieving proactive, intelligent control of supply and demand — a firm step from “new-energy accessory” to genuine core grid infrastructure.
03 Guardian Against Extreme Cold
Specifically adapted for temperature swings of approximately 50 °C and winter lows of –30 °C, the extreme-cold-edition 5 MWh immersion liquid cooling system features comprehensive 360° protection: high-strength low-temperature steel enclosures, six-sided rock-wool insulation layers, sloped roofs with quantified snow-load design, wind-resistant structural beams, and validation across seven extreme-scenario simulations.
04 Rooted in the Frontier
Developed by Kortrong at its new base in the national-level Khorgos Economic Development Zone, the project integrates manufacturing, marketing, and service for rapid, localised response and deep alignment with regional needs — serving Xinjiang while extending to the Belt and Road core area and the five Central Asian countries.
In an emerging military-reclamation city on the edge of the Gobi, Kortrong has applied industry-leading immersion liquid cooling technology to erect a safe, efficient Green Electricity Great Wall for the frontier and set a new benchmark for regional energy transition — another chapter in Xinjiang’s synchronized progress with the nation.
Every kilowatt-hour of clean power now flowing is a salute to the new-energy builders lighting up the mountains and rivers.
