Sungrow commissions 40 MWh energy storage system in Sri Lanka
Clean energy supplier Sungrow completed commercial deployment of a 10 MW 40 MWh battery storage system in Galle for WKV Hydro Technics
Sungrow, a leading supplier of PV inverters and energy storage systems, has successfully commissioned a 10 MW/40 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in Galle, Sri Lanka. The system, installed by WKV Hydro Technics (Pvt) Ltd, a subsidiary of Khen Energy Limited, is designed to enhance grid flexibility and deliver fast-response energy storage capacity, supporting the integration of renewable energy sources.
As Sri Lanka aims to generate 70% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030, the project is seen as a significant step towards achieving this goal. The PowerTitan 2.0 system, specifically designed for local project requirements, features end-to-end intelligent management, full-stack pre-commissioning capability, and resilience in challenging coastal environments.
The commissioning process was completed in just one week, with formal system acceptance testing (SAT) and commercial operation within five days. This rapid deployment was facilitated by proactive pre-project enablement, on-site cross-team support, and Sungrow's commitment to customer service. The project highlights the potential of utility-scale battery energy storage in maintaining grid reliability and enabling greater renewable energy integration in Sri Lanka.
