HyperStrong’s Grid-Forming Storage Project – Pioneering Hybrid Energy Storage Innovation

Overview

Recently, in the red-soil region of Malipo County, Yunnan Province, HyperStrong has delivered a transformative 100MW/200MWh shared energy storage project. Commissioned in 2025, this project integrates grid-forming storage technology with a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) + vanadium redox flow hybrid system, addressing Malipo’s pressing power supply-demand imbalances and grid stability challenges, paving the way for a resilient source-grid-load-storage integrated power system.

Challenge

Malipo County faces significant grid challenges due to high renewable penetration. Voltage and frequency fluctuations, coupled with uneven spatiotemporal power distribution, strain the local grid. The urgent need for large-scale storage to enable efficient energy allocation drove the development of this shared storage project, aimed at enhancing grid reliability and energy transition.

Innovative Solution

HyperStrong’s Malipo project introduces a groundbreaking application model:

Grid-Forming Storage Technology

Compared with traditional grid-following energy storage, grid-forming energy storage can sense the dynamics of the grid and achieve fine-grained active regulation of grid fluctuations. By simulating synchronous machine characteristics, the system’s converters deliver rapid inertia response, real-time voltage regulation, and dynamic frequency support, enhancing grid resilience and stability.

LFP + Vanadium Flow Hybrid System

The project utilizes HyperStrong’s HyperBlock series ESS product, a flagship utility-scale product known for safety, low LCOS and long lifespan. The innovative approach couples LFP’s rapid response as the foundation with vanadium flow’s long-cycle stability, creating a synergistic storage solution. An intelligent Energy Management System (EMS) optimizes task allocation across storage units, extending cycle life and reducing costs.

AI-Driven Optimization

HyperStrong’s AI Platform enables real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and fault detection, boosting safety, efficiency, and operational intelligence. This ensures reliable performance in Malipo’s challenging environment.

Multi-Revenue Model

The shared storage project maximizes asset value through peak-valley arbitrage, ancillary services, and capacity leasing in real-time power markets, delivering robust economic returns.
