Located in Chicheng County, Hebei Province, on the northern edge of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, this project serves as a clean energy demonstration initiative integrating wind power, energy storage, and hydrogen production. With a total planned wind power capacity of 165 MW, it features a 24.75 MW/49.5 MWh electrochemical energy storage system and a green electricity-to-hydrogen unit with a capacity of 2,000 standard cubic meters per hour. The project aims to establish a closed-loop green energy ecosystem covering power generation, storage, transmission, and utilization. Harnessing wind power as its primary energy source, the generated green electricity is collected through a 220 kV booster station. It is used not only for direct grid integration but also for charging the energy storage systems and powering the electrolytic water hydrogen production. The energy storage system acts as an "energy buffer," mitigating wind power fluctuations, providing grid ancillary services, and supplying stable electricity for hydrogen production. Utilizing alkaline electrolysis technology, the project converts wind energy into high-purity green hydrogen, enabling local utilization and value enhancement of surplus power. Hydrogen is delivered via high-pressure long-haul trailers for point-to-point distribution, supporting diverse applications including industrial decarbonization, green transportation (e.g., hydrogen refueling for heavy trucks and buses), and power load management across the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. Through an integrated smart energy management platform, the project optimizes coordinated operations of wind, storage, and hydrogen units to enhance wind power integration capabilities and system economic efficiency.

I. Project Background,Fulou Village is located in Sanyizhai Township, Lankao County, Kaifeng City, Henan Province, on the southern bank of the Yellow River, with a total population of 1,614 distributed across 467 households in the administrative village and 226 households in the core natural village. It is the cradle of the Jiao Yulu Spirit (the spirit of CPC cadres serving the people and working hard) and the core sample of the first national pilot county for rural energy revolution construction in China. Before project launch, the village was a national-level poverty-stricken village, facing several pain points in energy development common in rural areas. Firstly, energy costs were excessively high. Residents were subject to tiered electricity pricing, with electricity costs ranging from 0.08 US dollars per kWh to 0.12 US dollars per kWh, making villagers "reluctant to use electricity" and rendering it difficult to meet livelihood needs such as clean heating and electrified living; secondly, energy infrastructure was severely weak. The rural power grid was designed for one-way power supply, featuring a loose structure, low automation level, and limited carrying capacity, which could not adapt to the large-scale integration of distributed energy; thirdly, clean energy resources were largely idle. The whole village possessed abundant rooftop, pond, and open space resources, with an annual average effective sunshine duration of 1,200 hours, and wind energy resources suitable for decentralized development. However, these resources were not systematically utilized, and a large amount of renewable energy potential was wasted; fourthly, the rural collective economy lacked stable operating income. Relying solely on traditional agricultural planting, the economic foundation was weak and unable to support the upgrade of village-level public services and infrastructure.,To resolve the core issues of unbalanced and inadequate rural energy development, and in response to the dual calls of China's Dual Carbon Goals and Rural Revitalization Strategy, the project takes President Xi's new energy security strategy of "Four Revolutions and One Cooperation" as the fundamental guideline, and deeply practices the requirements of the Three Principles of County Governance (strengthening counties and enriching people, integrating reform and development, and connecting urban and rural areas). In November 2022, the whole-village integrated source-grid-load-storage transformation was officially launched, carrying out a bottom-up "energy experiment". Abandoning the blind rooftop PV installation model, the project directly addressed deep-seated issues such as inadequate grid carrying capacity, extensive operation and maintenance (O&M), and lack of a sound profit distribution mechanism. Through the physical reconstruction of all factors of "source-grid-load-storage" and the digital empowerment of "cloud-edge synergy", it innovatively constructed a sustainable development model characterized by "village collective leadership + enterprise leasing + microgrid self-governance", aiming to achieve the core goal of "strengthening counties, enriching people, and pursuing green development".
