Building a solid foundation for safe energy storage, Schneider Electric presented its full-scenario solutions at the International Energy Storage Conference

Recently, the SNEC 8th (2023) International Energy Storage Technology, Equipment and Application (Shanghai) Conference and Exhibition was grandly opened. With the theme of "Integrating innovative power technologies to build a solid foundation for safe energy storage", Schneider Electric presented solutions covering all scenarios of the energy storage industry and a variety of innovative products in the industry at the exhibition, and successfully signed contracts with industry partners on site to jointly promote technological innovation and diversified development of the energy storage industry and contribute to consolidating the safety foundation of the new power system.

As the construction of a new power system based on new energy enters a critical period, energy storage, as a "stabilizer" of new energy, has become a focus of common concern in the energy industry on how to continuously break through technical barriers, use innovative solutions to extend the energy storage industry chain, improve the safety of new energy storage, and give full play to its role in peak shaving and valley filling and rapid response.

As an electrical safety expert in the energy storage industry's full solution, Schneider Electric has always kept a close eye on market demands and hot topics for many years. With its deep insight into the development of energy storage technology and market demands, as well as its rich experience and rapid innovation and iteration capabilities in the field of electrification + digitalization, it has heavily displayed full-scenario energy storage solutions covering centralized and cluster-controlled large storage, industrial and commercial storage modularization, and small user-side, enabling customers to achieve three major values: safety and reliability, efficient operation, and continuous improvement of competitiveness, fully demonstrating Schneider Electric's multi-dimensional strength in the energy storage field. First, Schneider Electric's energy storage solutions use products with innovative electromechanical structures and pass high-quality standards and strict testing, which can effectively improve the safety and reliability of the solutions; secondly, Schneider Electric can provide one-stop services from planning and design to operation and maintenance, helping users improve efficiency; at the same time, based on its in-depth global professional insights into the energy storage industry and its excellent innovation and R&D capabilities, the solution accurately matches the latest needs of energy storage OEMs and domestic and overseas markets, and can provide support for customers to continuously enhance their competitiveness.

For DC application scenarios, Schneider Electric's EasyPact DC Switch Disconnector adopts a large-spacing double-contact design with high short-circuit current tolerance. With its excellent performance at high altitudes and high temperatures and IP66 high-protection handle, it creates a safer and more reliable energy storage solution. The innovative functions and material applications of the ComPacT NSX DC EP DC circuit breaker bring it powerful performance, with a breaking capacity of up to 50kA at 1500V, while ensuring arc extinguishing stability and longer electrical life under high currents. The MVS DA1 series products are 1500V DC disconnectors widely used in new energy storage, hydrogen production, photovoltaic and other industries. Its rated current range is 1600-4000A, which can be widely used in new energy equipment of different powers. It adopts innovative DC arc ignition technology and circuit design to ensure reliable carrying and load breaking of DC current. The key components use special refractory alloys and special insulating materials, which can reduce the loss of DC arc to silver points and ensure short-term high current.

In addition, in order to better solve the complexity and unpredictability of the current energy consumption system, Schneider Electric has also launched a new intelligent distributed energy SDM solution (Smart DER Management). As a one-stop software and hardware solution, SDM integrates EMS power dispatch control management system, PCS or energy storage UPS, energy storage lithium battery, photovoltaic system, charging pile, load control, etc., and provides users with a one-stop solution for power quality management, carbon reduction and cost saving, and peak load demand for different scenarios such as data centers, key power sources, and industrial and commercial (such as charging stations).

Cutting-edge digital technology is also the key to facilitating the consumption of new energy and promoting the construction of new power systems. At this exhibition, in addition to bringing multi-dimensional solutions to the energy storage industry, Schneider Electric also demonstrated its ETAP electrical system digital twin platform and microgrid energy consultant (EcoStruxure Microgrid Advisor) based on powerful digital genes. With a one-stop energy management platform, Schneider Electric provides users in the new energy industry with a complete life cycle solution covering everything from planning and design to operation and maintenance, and provides smarter scheduling for distributed new energy construction, thereby helping users to significantly improve the local consumption capacity of new energy.

As a leading company in the energy industry, Schneider Electric is well aware that a forest can only be formed if many trees grow together. Over the years, it has continued to strengthen the construction of the ecosystem, build a communication bridge for upstream and downstream partners in the industry, and jointly provide support for the transformation and upgrading of the industry. During the conference, Schneider Electric signed cooperation agreements with Xi'an Singularity Energy Co., Ltd. and Shanghai Cairi Energy Technology Co., Ltd., respectively, agreeing to carry out close cooperation in the fields of application research of electrical protection and disconnection equipment for energy storage systems, high-quality and reliable energy storage component products, technical consulting and design consulting services, in order to provide the industry with more safe, reliable, digitally intelligent, efficient, green and low-carbon products and full life cycle solutions, jointly empower users in the energy storage industry, and drive a wider ecosystem for win-win and co-creation.
