SMS Electric and Hongxi Energy Carry out Strategic Cooperation on Optical Storage Integration
On July 18, 2023, SMS Energy grandly launched the industrial and commercial energy storage integrated machine (including two models of 100kW/200kWh and 200kW/418kWh), which adopts the S5 concept, modular design, good adaptability, and can be connected to the unit network. Compared with the containerized energy storage system, the configuration is more flexible, greatly simplifying transportation and on-site installation work, and is widely used in various energy storage scenarios such as new energy consumption, peak shaving and valley filling, emergency power backup, and dynamic capacity increase, The optimization of chemical and commercial electricity bills, seamless integration with comprehensive energy management systems, participation in virtual power plant business, and participation in demand side response and power dispatch frequency regulation and peak shaving auxiliary services are more in line with the diversified application needs of industrial and commercial energy storage. The industrial and commercial energy storage all-in-one machine also has energy efficiency management functions, and is equipped with the SMS Energy EMS energy management system to achieve remote real-time monitoring of energy storage operation data and intelligent operation and maintenance.
At the same time, the parent company Zhengzhou SMS Electric Co., Ltd. and Zhejiang Hongxi Energy Co., Ltd. have reached a strategic cooperation on optical storage integration:
1. Based on the user side energy storage system of SMS Energy (including industrial and commercial energy storage, household energy storage, etc.) and the distributed photovoltaic power station system of Hongxi Energy, supported by microgrid technology, both parties jointly develop an integrated solution for optical storage and charging in scenarios such as industry and commerce, industrial parks, and residential communities;
2. Both parties agree that the first solution will be implemented at the TOPCON battery cell production base, which is about to be put into operation by Hongxi Energy. SMS Energy will configure a commercial energy storage system with corresponding capacity (no less than 20MWh), and both parties are committed to making it a model project and demonstration project;
3. After the solution is gradually implemented and promoted, both parties will further innovate and integrate comprehensive energy management, smart grid, digital energy, and explore new business models and technological forms, including energy storage in Taiwan, spot trading, green power trading, virtual power plants, etc.
Zhejiang Hongxi Energy Co., Ltd. was established in May 2008. It is a high-tech enterprise specializing in the research and development, manufacturing, and sales of high-efficiency crystalline silicon solar cells, as well as the design, development, construction, operation, and maintenance of solar power generation systems. It is committed to the great cause of 'green and renewable solar energy sources becoming the eternal driving force for human sustainable and harmonious development'. Hongxi Energy focuses on the solar cell business as its core, focusing on developing battery and power station businesses in the five major links of the photovoltaic industry chain, in order to form industrial linkage with leading manufacturers in the layout of silicon materials, silicon wafers, and components, and achieve benign collaborative development with the upstream and downstream of the industry chain. It is expected that by the end of 2023, the production capacity of Hongxi Energy's battery cells will reach 6GW, and the company's self owned photovoltaic power station grid connected capacity will reach 500MW. It also has distributed rooftop photovoltaic resources from over 200 public institutions and enterprises.
