According to reports, the innovation center is led by Guangdong Province and China Southern Power Grid, and jointly established by 13 upstream and downstream leading enterprises such as new energy storage materials, chips, and batteries. At present, the Innovation Center has taken the lead in establishing the Guangdong New Energy Storage Industry Technology Innovation Alliance, covering more than 85% of the national innovation platforms in the field of new energy storage, and has established a technical expert committee composed of 10 academicians and experts.
2. NARI Jibao shines on the "Belt and Road", and "Made in China" helps light up Africa
Recently, the completion ceremony of the Danzi photovoltaic energy storage power station in the Central African Republic was held. The integrated photovoltaic and storage solution of the China-Africa Danzi project includes a photovoltaic field control system, an energy storage system and a coordinated photovoltaic storage control system. Under the unified control of the photovoltaic and storage coordinated control system, the whole system smooths the external characteristics of the photovoltaic system through the precise adjustment of the energy storage system, gives full play to the power generation capacity of the photovoltaic system, and prolongs the power supply time of the system. The operation of the project has not only improved the power supply rate of the capital city of Bangui, but also provided stable support for the weak Central African national power grid. In the end, the project successfully passed the comprehensive and rigorous acceptance test of the supervising party, including the black start, and was successfully connected to the grid.

3. Lishen Battery launched two industrial and commercial energy storage systems, 45-foot air-cooled and 20-foot liquid-cooled
Recently, Lishen Battery has launched two newly developed industrial and commercial standard energy storage container system products. Among them, the 45-foot walk-in air-cooled containerized industrial and commercial energy storage system is based on the transformation of core technologies such as energy informatization, dynamic reconfigurable battery network and digital energy exchange in the project of the National Key R&D Program "Heterogeneous Compatible Utilization and Intelligent Dismantling Technology of Retired Power Batteries".
4. Rongjie Group's Tianyi Energy 314 ampere-hour battery cells were officially mass-produced and rolled off the production line
On December 6, the first batch of 314 ampere-hour battery cells of Tianyi Energy of Rongjie Group was mass-produced and delivered in the world, becoming one of the few 314-ampere-hour battery cell manufacturers in the industry that can achieve mass production relatively quickly. Tianyi Energy's latest 314 ampere-hour energy storage cells are aimed at "precise one kilowatt-hour of electricity" and attack the large storage market. Through multi-scale graded cathode, high wettability electrolyte, porosity gradient distribution and other technologies, the internal resistance is reduced by 15%, and the number of cycles reaches more than 8,000 times.
