China trumpets completion of 'world's largest battery energy storage station' (Engadget)

just wrapped up construction on the Zhangbei-based project, which marries 40
Mega-Watts of renewable energy generation (both wind and solar), 36 Mega-Watt-
Hours (MWh) of energy storage and a smart power transmission system. The goal?
To provide a "stable solution for transferring vast amounts of renewable
electricity safely to the grid on an unprecedented scale." As it stands, BYD
