Beijing Jiatai New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Jiatai New Energy") completed an angel round of financing of tens of millions of yuan. invest.
With the continuous increase in the proportion of new energy power generation, energy storage has become a hot spot in research and development at home and abroad. At present, various technical routes such as lithium-ion battery energy storage, liquid flow battery energy storage, compressed gas energy storage, flywheel energy storage, and pumped hydro storage have been formed. Among them, the compressed gas energy storage system is the most competitive technical route under long-term energy storage conditions due to its advantages such as no dependence on geographical conditions, high safety and suitability for high power/large capacity.
At present, domestic compressed gas energy storage has gradually entered the stage of commercialization. According to relevant data, my country has built compressed air energy storage projects with a capacity of about 182.5MW, and projects under planning and construction have a capacity of about 6.2GW, and most of them are larger than 100MW. Large-scale and long-term energy storage projects are mainly used. It is estimated that the overall market size of my country's energy storage will exceed one trillion around 2025, which is an extremely important strategic layout of the country in the energy field.
The core team members of Jiatai New Energy are all from electric power colleges, electric power scientific research institutions and power system units. With extremely rich technical accumulation and commercial resources in the field of energy and power (including new energy storage), the core scientific research team has been committed to the research and accumulation of compressed gas energy storage technology since 2012, and participated in the construction of several national energy storage demonstration projects , is one of the earliest teams involved in the landing of compressed gas energy storage technology in China.
The company's CTO Wang Peng said:
The existing mainstream technical route of compressed gas energy storage refers to compressed air, compressed carbon dioxide, cryogenic liquefaction, etc. At present, in terms of compressed air energy storage, Jiatai's solution is based on the design of natural caves and artificial caves; compressed carbon dioxide energy storage technology can use gas storage tanks or liquid storage tanks, which has a system volume and a relatively small footprint, which can be more flexible Advantages of deploying locally.
In the energy storage/energy release link of the energy storage system, Jiatai New Energy innovatively optimizes the compression, expansion and heat exchange equipment, and optimizes the whole process of compression and expansion in multi-stage stages such as high pressure, medium pressure, and low pressure. To achieve better system efficiency. It is worth mentioning that Jiatai New Energy is also engineering the isothermal compression system, which can minimize the power loss in compression and expansion, greatly improve system efficiency and reduce energy consumption.
At present, Jiatai New Energy's technical team is currently designing a 100-megawatt compressed air energy storage system and a 10-megawatt compressed carbon dioxide energy storage system.
Wang Wei, president of Jiatai New Energy, said:
Focusing on the goal of "dual carbon", it is imminent to build a new power system with new energy as the main body. As the core of the new power system, energy storage technology is bound to develop rapidly. At present, the compressed gas energy storage market is still in the blue ocean stage. Due to the multi-professional and multi-disciplinary There are not many companies engaged in the research of compressed gas energy storage systems, which are far from meeting the needs of the entire market. This is an excellent development opportunity and window for technology-centric entrepreneurial teams. Jiatai New Energy will give full play to its technical accumulation, become a practitioner of green low-carbon transformation and high-quality development through innovation-driven and green-driven, and strive to build a clean and beautiful world!
Yijue, a partner of AC Capital, said:
Although the installed capacity of compressed air energy storage in the current energy storage market is still relatively small, compared with the data of previous years, it has a sufficiently high growth rate, rapid development, and sufficient room for growth. Comparing various energy storage costs, it can be clearly seen that the cost per unit of electricity of compressed air energy storage has dropped to 0.2 yuan, which is already lower than that of pumped water storage with the largest installed capacity. With the gradual maturity of compressed air energy storage technology and the attention of the overall market, the field of compressed air energy storage will gain opportunities for rapid development in the future.
Xu Tong, partner of Zhongke Glory Fund, said:
Energy storage is the most deterministic track in the current market. Compressed air energy storage, like pumped hydro storage, has incomparable advantages in electrochemical energy storage under the condition of high-power and long-term energy storage. The core team of Jiatai New Energy has Rich power industry background and technology accumulation, the core technical team has participated in the research and development and implementation of several compressed air energy storage test projects, and has a strong first-mover advantage in the field of compressed air energy storage system research and construction.
He Zhiqiang, Senior Vice President of Lenovo Group and President of Lenovo Venture Capital, said:
Among the many energy storage technologies, compressed gas energy storage is considered to be one of the most promising large-scale energy storage technologies. The difficulty of technical research lies in the improvement of the whole process efficiency. On the basis of further utilizing the advantages of small compressed gas energy storage space and high degree of freedom in deployment, Jiatai New Energy has also optimized the entire process of energy storage/release, making this type of technology a solid step towards implementation.
