[SMM PV News] RayGen Deploys 1 MW Solar and Thermal Storage System in Brazil

Recently, the Binhe Haoyu 100MW/200MWh independent energy storage station in Zhucheng completed acceptance and entered commercial operation. The project was invested in by an energy storage industry fund jointly initiated by Corun, CALB, and Kaibo Capital. It was jointly developed by members of the large energy storage ecosystem consortium, including Corun, CALC, Goxia Technology, Duanrui Technology, and Star Energy New Energy. The station adopts a hybrid energy storage technology route combining "lithium iron phosphate + all-vanadium redox flow batteries," which can meet the grid's full-time-scale regulation needs while significantly reducing the lifecycle levelized cost of energy, enhancing overall system economy and safety, and maximizing operational efficiency and economic benefits.

On April 1, ChuNeng New Energy showcased its full-scenario energy storage solutions at the ESIE 2026 exhibition, demonstrating for the first time a 6.25MWh energy storage system solution based on the integration of 588Ah batteries and CTP3.0 module-less technology, attracting significant industry attention. As the industry's first solution deeply integrating 588Ah large-format cells with CTP3.0 module-less technology, it demonstrates unique value in dimensions such as system integration efficiency, thermal management safety, and large-scale application. Within the lithium iron phosphate system, the 588Ah battery achieves leading performance with a gravimetric energy density of 190Wh/kg, a volumetric energy density of 419Wh/L, and an energy efficiency of 96.5%.

On the first day of the ESIE 2026 Energy Storage Exhibition, Zhejiang Star Energy New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. and Xiamen Hithium Energy Storage Technology Co., Ltd. signed a "Strategic Cooperation Agreement." The two parties agreed to establish a strategic procurement partnership for cell products from 2026 to 2028, with an estimated total procurement volume of 30GWh over the next three years, laying a solid foundation for the large-scale expansion of the company's energy storage business. This cooperation represents an important choice made by both parties based on industrial trends, market opportunities, and a consensus on collaborative development. It also marks a new milestone for Star Energy New Energy in market development, business layout, and industrial synergy.
