The two sides plan to establish the first battery cascade energy storage unit in Beijing. The system will combine the technology and experience of both parties in the utilization of stepped energy storage of retired power batteries, and rely on the retired power batteries in the existing market of BAIC new energy to start building a stepped energy storage system.
Since 20 16, Mercedes-Benz Energy has developed innovative energy storage solutions based on the automotive power battery technology adopted by pure electric and hybrid vehicles of Mercedes-Benz and smart brands. Its large-scale energy storage equipment can be applied to load peak regulation, black start and uninterruptible power supply, especially focusing on the cascade utilization of batteries and the application of standby energy storage devices.
Beiqi New Energy established Beijing Jiangxin Battery Technology Co., Ltd. on 20 16, devoted to the technical development of cascade utilization and energy storage of batteries. At present, the energy storage system projects carried out by Craft Core include: communication base station energy storage, highway energy storage charging station, mobile charging vehicle energy storage, and microgrid energy storage will be launched in the future.
Gordon Gasmann, CEO of Mercedes-Benz Energy, said: "The continuous expansion of renewable energy has brought about the rapid development of high-volatility energy production worldwide; At the same time, the distance between energy production and energy consumption is getting bigger and bigger, which brings great challenges to today's energy network. All these have created a wide range of opportunities for the development of global fixed energy storage systems. The cascade utilization of energy storage units by batteries is a very reasonable supplement. Through the further utilization of scrapped automobile power batteries, we have also made sustainable use of valuable raw materials. "
Ye Xiaohua, executive deputy general manager of BAIC New Energy, said: "With the rapid development of vehicle electrification, the attributes of automobile products have evolved from traditional means of transportation to new energy management terminals. Beiqi New Energy has formed a strong technical application capability in the construction of charging and replacing infrastructure and the cascade utilization of power batteries, and has taken the lead in laying out energy management and service fields in China. I believe that the cooperation between the two sides in the field of energy management will bring long-term and stable benefits. "
