As a global leader in lithium-ion battery development and manufacturing, CATL, based on its four-dimensional innovation systems and three development directions, the business of energy storage as one of CATL’s strategic development directions has experienced vigorous development over the past years. 

With the rise of new energy, the independent large-scale energy storage power plant will become a development direction. If every user or every power plant is equipped with energy storage system, it will raise the entire power grid and power system’s regulation flexibility and overall effectiveness, Tan said. 

Talking about how the cost could be reduced, Tan said that technical innovation and capability improvement are the main approaches. For example, the highly-integrated battery energy storage system can help reduce the overall energy consumption in operation, which will in turn raise the comprehensive effectiveness to a large extent. Moreover, breakthroughs in ultra-long life battery technology will contribute to the sharp rise of battery effectiveness in cascade utilization, lead to a new business model, bring down the cost, and greatly benefit the development of the industry. 

3. CATL recognized for its technical innovation 

The 5th International Energy Storage Innovation Competition, which was organized by the International Energy Storage Alliance, took place during the expo. CATL won the prize “Top 10 Energy Storage Applications 2021” by virtue of its innovative outdoor liquid cooling rack. Also, it was given the honorary title “10 Best Energy Storage Battery Companies of 2021”.
