In the coastal county of Rudong in Nantong City, east China's Jiangsu Province, the fan blades of low-wind-speed turbines atop towers over 70 meters high were slowly rotating, harnessing the power of the wind.

A short drive away, energy storage facilities, including electrochemical and gravity-based energy storage systems, are either humming with activity or taking shape.

This city, nestled along the coast of China's Yellow Sea and the banks of the Yangtze River, is a cornucopia of wind power resources. It has attracted multiple companies to establish their bases here, with the State Power Investment Corporation being among the most prominent.

In addition to the extensive development of wind farms, the construction of switching and power booster stations, along with other ancillary power infrastructure, has become pivotal in optimizing wind energy utilization and nurturing a comprehensive industry chain in the city.

Inside an energy storage station, 80 orderly arranged electrochemical energy storage units, painted in blue and white, stand as sentinels of power. This station, the largest of its kind in Jiangsu, boasts a millisecond response time to grid demands, ensuring seamless operation.
