ANAHEIM, Calif., Sept. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

- Key technological innovations enabling highly reliable, safe energy storage

solutions across power generation, power transmission and distribution, power

consumption to empower energy freedom for all

Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited<https://www.catl.com/en/> (CATL),

a global leader of new energy innovative technologies, presents its

state-of-the-art all-scenario energy storage solutions at Solar Power

International as part of RE+ 2022<https://www.re-plus.com/>, held in Anaheim,

CA from September 20-22. The conference is the largest and most comprehensive

clean energy industry event in North America.

Meeting global decarbonization goals to tackle climate change means we need to

transition from fossil to renewable energy sources reliably and efficiently.

Energy storage solutions play a vital role in enabling the shift and innovation

is key to unlocking the full potential of renewable energy by reducing energy

storage system cost, increasing service life, durability, energy density, and

safety.

"To create a cleaner future for all, replacing fossil fuel in stationary energy

systems with high-efficient renewable energy is paramount," said Tan Libin,

vice president of CATL. "We are committed to contributing to global efforts in

carbon neutrality by empowering the energy transition that we urgently need. We

are thrilled to showcase our progress in developing high-quality products that

will support the sustainable development of our global economy."

Key Technology Features to Unleash the Potential of Renewable Energy

Committed to providing first-class energy storage solutions, CATL has developed

lithium-ion battery energy storage systems across application scenarios in

power generation, power transmission and distribution, and power consumption.

RE+ 2022 offers energy industry leaders a chance to learn more about CATL's

industry-leading innovation advancements to empower energy freedom for all:

- Substantial Safety: CATL takes a comprehensive approach to safety to ensure

multiple layers of protection across cell, module, and rack levels. CATL

carefully selects and designs raw materials and applies stringent controls in

manufacturing processes, as well as comprehensive testing and verification to

ensure the quality of its batteries. Additionally, 24-hour monitoring and big

data-based early warning systems ensure safe operations and reliability of its

products in real-life scenarios.

- High Energy Density: Advanced high-energy density materials and original CTP

solution effectively increases the energy density of the container system to

achieve a floor space energy density of over 250 kWh/m2. EnerOne, CATL's

flagship modular outdoor liquid cooling battery energy storage system (BESS),

features a compact structure which uses 35% less floor space compared to

traditional air-cooling products, further reducing construction costs.

- Long Service Life: Energy storage battery for power generation, transmission,

distribution and consumption carry a high demand for long service life and high

reliability. With upgrades in battery components to slowdown battery capacity

loss, CATL has successfully set a global benchmark with a single battery life

of 12,000 cycles, and reduce the Levelized Cost of Using Storage (LCUS)

throughout the battery lifecycle. CATL is now undertaking further research and

development in its electrochemical energy storage solutions, with the aim of

increasing the cycle life to a record high of 18,000 – thus expanding the scale

of a single energy storage power station to 1GWh and rivaling the pumped

storage level by cost per kilowatt hour and energy storage capacity.

- Intelligent Temperature Control: CATL's energy storage solutions feature

intelligent thermal management systems to effectively avoid the bucket effect

caused by cells connected in series, and ensure a temperature difference of

cells in the container to within 5℃ effectively improving the available

energy throughput in the life cycle of the system. Specifically, the integrated

frequency conversion liquid-cooling system, EnerOne, can limit cell temperature

difference down to 3℃ and increase life expectancy of battery by 33%.

- Intelligent Battery Management: CATL's unique intelligent BMS monitors the

battery health status 24/7 and identifies unhealthy batteries in advance. Early

warning of battery fire hazards can reduce the probability of associated fires

by over 90%. The online early warning system ensures the safe operation of the

battery throughout its lifecycle.

Commitment to Green Manufacturing

Through technological innovation, CATL has continued to make positive impacts

in manufacturing and environmental sustainability. Its Yibin Plant is the

world's first certified zero-carbon factory, while its Ningde facility has been

recognized by the World Economic Forum (WEF) as a global "Lighthouse Factory,"

making it the first battery manufacturing base joining WEF's Global Lighthouse

Network (GLN).

Besides the carbon reduction measures, CATL has rolled out battery recycling to

achieve low carbonization of batteries. RE+ 2022 will be an opportunity for

attendees to see how the company is planning to advance these contributions

worldwide.

In 2021, CATL's energy storage business ranked first in its market share of

global energy storage battery production, supporting over 100 utility-scale

projects around the world.
