The Blade Battery Has Update News! BYD Releases New Energy Storage Products
Aug 19, 2020
At the just-concluded "14th SNEC Exhibition in 2020", BYD's new grid-level energy storage product BYD Cube was unveiled. It covers an area of only 16.66 square meters and has an energy storage capacity of 2.8MWh, which is compared with the 40-foot standard set in the industry. The energy density per unit area of the energy storage system has increased by more than 90%, and it is the first to support 1300V DC voltage, matching high-voltage converters of different brands. In the near future, the "blade battery" will also bring about a substantial increase in energy density, ushering in the era of GWh energy storage!
BYD Cube was born to solve the crux of energy storage!
With technical advantages and many years of operating experience in foreign markets, BYD Cube energy storage system successfully won the "Tegawatt Diamond Award" selected by the 14th SNEC Top Ten Highlights.
In the initial stage of energy storage development, energy density, cost and safety have always been the focus of the energy storage industry. In the face of higher technical requirements in the market and consideration of energy storage safety, BYD redesigned the original engineered container products: The black-and-white space design is derived from the piano keys. The internal liquid cooling system replaces the traditional air cooling system. At the same time, the internal aisle of the container is eliminated, and all installation and maintenance work can be completed by opening the door on one side.
Energy storage capacity "bigger cup"! Maximize energy density!
The internal battery module of BYD Cube, a new energy storage product, adopts the CTP design concept, cancels the battery module hierarchy, and maximizes the overall energy density from the internal structure. The blade battery introduced by BYD has successfully pushed the production design of the battery to a new stage of battery design. BYD plans to launch an upgraded version of BYD Cube equipped with blade batteries next year. The area energy density will increase by more than 145% compared to standard container products, which is equivalent to 40%. The battery capacity of one-foot container area can exceed 6MWh.
Liquid cooling technology gives a new definition to energy storage
BYD’s new product BYD Cube innovatively adopts liquid cooling technology and inherits the car-level design standards of BYD’s latest model "Han" to ensure long-term reliability. The space utilization rate is much higher than that of traditional air-cooled systems with reserved air ducts. Make sure that the battery operates within the optimal temperature range, and at the same time, configure fire extinguishing facilities to ensure the safe and efficient operation of the system, to ensure the life of the energy storage system and the safety of the project.
No aisle single door structure design
At the same time, BYD's energy storage product BYD Cube also adopts aisleless design to effectively improve the space utilization rate, and the staff does not need to enter the interior, which facilitates the transportation, installation and maintenance of the energy storage system. The single-door design allows the system to adopt a variety of spatial layouts, back-to-back layout is suitable for new large-scale energy storage power stations; face-to-face layout can reuse the middle maintenance channel; the in-line layout is suitable for narrow and long sites, especially suitable for built-in power stations. Wall layout.
"Partner" plan to stimulate future imagination
In order to promote the global energy transformation, BYD, which has accumulated deep battery research and development experience, has officially entered the energy storage industry in 2008. It has experienced 12 years of technological precipitation and baptism in domestic and overseas markets, and has maintained zero accidents during more than ten years of energy storage operation experience. With its safety record, BYD has now become one of the world’s leading suppliers of integrated energy storage solutions.
As my country's photovoltaic power generation industry officially enters the grid parity, the photovoltaic industry has embarked on a new stage of development. Based on the needs of grid regulation and new energy consumption, new energy storage is on the agenda. Since 2020, China’s national level and many provinces have put forward document requirements such as encouraging the deployment of energy storage and strengthening the construction of energy storage standard systems. With the further decline of energy storage costs and continuous breakthroughs in energy storage technology, China’s energy storage industry The development of China has also been pushed into a new wave of development. Facing the new development trend of the domestic energy storage market, BYD will launch BYD Cube in due course, which is expected to play a leading role in the industry in the future and promote the development of energy storage products towards higher technological content.
At present, the demand for energy storage market is increasing day by day. BYD is preparing to build a 10GWh automated energy storage assembly line in Luhe Industrial Park, Shanwei, Guangdong, to provide more energy storage products to the market, and at the same time to further reduce energy storage costs with mass production. On the other hand, BYD is also launching the "Partner" program at the SNEC site, offering an olive branch to domestic and foreign companies, and intends to invite everyone to discuss market opportunities, seek mutual benefit and win-win cooperation, and jointly lay out the future of energy storage.
