Nowadays, more and more lithium battery companies are turning their attention to the field of energy storage, some are investing in research and development of energy storage batteries, and some are participating in bidding for energy storage projects.
In the last month of 20 18, the research center jointly established by Contemporary Ampere Technology Co., Ltd., which is in the limelight in the field of power batteries, six universities including Tsinghua and Xiamen University, two research institutes including China Electric Power Research Institute and China Automotive Technology R&D Center, and seven upstream and downstream enterprises including Xiamen Tungsten Industry was approved as the "National Engineering Research Center"-National Engineering Research Center for Electrochemical Energy Storage Technology.
Previously, Contemporary Ampere Technology Co., Ltd. has formulated an energy storage plan. Only in the past 20 18 and June 20 18, Contemporary Ampere Technology Co., Ltd. cooperated with Fujian Investment Group Co., Ltd. and Fujian Electric Power Survey and Design Institute to successfully settle a large-scale lithium battery energy storage project in Jinjiang, Fujian. The total investment of the project is 2.4 billion yuan, which will be implemented in three phases. The first phase of the project plans to build a lithium battery energy storage power station with a scale of 100MWh; Phase II expansion of 500MWh lithium battery energy storage equipment; Phase III expansion 1000MWh lithium battery energy storage equipment; At the same time, mobile energy storage equipment and mobile charging facilities will be built. 20 18, 10, CATL of Contemporary Ampere Technology Co., Ltd. won the bid for the energy storage project of Luneng Haixi 50MW/ 100MWh multi-energy complementary comprehensive optimization demonstration project.
In addition, from 2065438 to June 2008, CATL Contemporary Ampere Technology Co., Ltd. signed an energy storage project with Fujian Investment Group Co., Ltd. and Fujian Electric Power Survey and Design Institute.
Byd, another lithium battery giant, as of the end of last year, the number of containers shipped to the UK has reached 240+; Provide 18 sets of 1.75MW FM energy storage modules for the FM energy storage project in West Virginia, USA, and provide power supporting services for power stations.
In addition to the United Kingdom and the United States, BYD and Australia's BIOSAR recently announced the signing of a 75MW photovoltaic project worth nearly 30 million US dollars (about 200 million RMB). On June 20 18, BYD successfully signed the first lithium battery container energy storage project in Brazil. 1.26MW/ 1.36MWh energy storage system will be connected with the built 5MW photovoltaic power station to the local distribution network for stable output of renewable energy and grid auxiliary services. The project will be held in June, 20 18+65438+. In the same month, the 1.26MW/2.52MWh energy storage project provided by BYD was officially put into operation in Poland, which was BYD's first energy storage project in Poland.
2065438+August 2008, BYD adjusted its energy storage layout strategy: not participating in domestic bidding projects, focusing on being a supplier of energy storage equipment. However, BYD also won the bid for several domestic energy storage projects in 20 18:
1, 9MW/36MWh National Scenery Energy Storage Demonstration Project (Phase I), which provides lithium iron phosphate battery system for this project and is also the largest supplier of energy storage part of this project;
2. The pilot project of MW-class battery energy storage station of China Southern Power Grid with the scale of 3MW/ 12MWh, and BYD won the bid for the procurement project of battery and energy conversion system;
3. The scale of BYD iron battery energy storage power station independently built by BYD Electric Power Research Institute is 20MW/40MWh.
In addition to the two battery giants, Du Nan Electric Power, Lion Technology, Yiwei Lithium Energy, Hestar, AVIC Lithium Battery and Far East Foster, a subsidiary of Smart Energy, all won the bid for the energy storage project 20 18:
The field of energy storage, which is inseparable from batteries, will attract more and more battery companies to compete for layout in the future: for example, BIC battery has previously announced that it will enter the commercial vehicle and energy storage market through lithium iron phosphate battery on 20 19, and four energy storage projects have been confirmed. In addition, Xie Guolin, President of BIC Battery, and Xiang Chao, General Manager of Energy Storage Division also visited Yizhi to discuss energy storage and microgrid cooperation. Guo Xuan Hi-Tech has established a wholly-owned subsidiary focusing on the energy storage industry-Shanghai Guoxuan New Energy (Hefu) Energy Storage Technology Co., Ltd. ... Now it will focus on the integration of energy storage system schemes and the construction of key demonstration projects. In the mid-term (the end of 20 19), technical refinement and product finalization will be carried out for the target market, and an energy storage industrial chain and innovative operation mode will be built.
