Project Overview

• Location: Zhejiang, China
• Phase I: 2.43MW / 4.761MWh
• Phase II: 16.7MW / 34.7MWh
• Application: Mobile battery energy storage for film production

Hengdian Studio, Asia’s largest film shooting base, consumes over 3 million kWh of electricity annually across more than 300 film crews. To replace conventional diesel generators and meet the need for flexible, reliable power, Wenergy deployed a 16.7 MW / 34.7 MWh mobile Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in Phase II, following the 2.43 MW / 4.761 MWh Phase I deployment. With over 40 Turtle M Series Mobile ESS units in operation, the system provides plug-and-play power for film sets and other temporary applications. A typical 723 kWh unit can charge in around two hours and power a mid-sized crew for a full day.

Solution Highlights

• Mobile & Flexible Power: Plug-and-play ESS units enable rapid deployment across film sets, events, residential areas, and other temporary power scenarios.
• Cost-Optimized Operation: Charges during off-peak hours and discharges during high-demand periods, reducing electricity costs by up to 60%.
• High-Efficiency & Smart Management: Achieving over 95% efficiency, the system is connected to Wenergy’s cloud platform for real-time monitoring and intelligent alerts.
• Cleaner Diesel Alternative: Replaces fuel-based generation with battery power, eliminating on-site fuel storage, generator noise, and local emissions.

Customer Value

• Lower Energy Costs: Reduces operating expenses through off-peak charging and high-efficiency energy delivery.
• Reliable & Low-Carbon Power: Supports continuous film production with fast, stable power while reducing dependence on diesel generators.
• Measurable Sustainability Impact: In its first three months, the system delivered over 600,000 kWh and avoided approximately 47 tons of CO₂ emissions, equivalent to nearly 20,000 liters of diesel.
