China's biggest solar power controlling system has been
successfully developed and manufactured in northwest China's Urumqi
City, the capital of Xinjiang
Uygur Autonomous Region.
The system has been approved for trial operation with the
Ministry of Railways.
The solar power plant will be used in the Bei Ta Mountain area
in Xinjiang in September.
The controlling system will be put into operation for Xinjiang's
biggest solar energy power plant. Its main function will be to
control a solar energy battery covering an area of 3,000 square
meters. The investment in the solar power plant amounts to 15
million yuan (around US$1.8 million).
Once construction is complete, it will supply electricity to a
hospital, school and more than 200 households.
