Yesterday (28th), China's largest and most comprehensive testing and empirical platform for full-scenario one-stop detection of energy storage systems was launched in Xiamen. The platform is open to the global energy storage industry, marking the industry's transition from 'non-empirical' uncertainty to an 'empirical era'.
The energy storage empirical platform is equivalent to a 'comprehensive exam center + national-level quality inspection center' for energy storage products. This large-scale scientific research infrastructure, covering 150 mu (approximately 10 hectares) with a total investment of about 3 billion yuan, consists of five innovative laboratories: grid-connected laboratory, thermal safety and combustion laboratory, environmental adaptability laboratory, etc. It has achieved multiple global firsts in terms of testing scale, technical indicators, and coverage scenarios.
Chen Xiaobo, President of Xiamen Empirical Energy Storage Technology Research Institute: 'For current large-scale energy storage, we have built the world's largest grid simulation device and established a high-voltage safety laboratory that can test the energy storage high-voltage safety boundary. We can organically combine these laboratories to form a system to examine their full lifecycle safety.'
Currently, the energy storage industry generally suffers from the pain point that equipment R&D, application scenario testing, and detection systems are not closed-loop. The lack of large-capacity, full-size whole-machine safety and reliability testing, the lack of energy storage system grid-connected empirical testing, and the lack of empirical links deeply related to actual application scenarios have become key shortcomings restricting the large-scale development of the industry. The Xiamen energy storage empirical platform, launched this time, innovatively adopts full-size, whole-station-level inspection units, enabling systematic verification under conditions closest to real scenarios, real grids, and real operating conditions.
At present, the platform has established deep cooperative relationships with multiple global mainstream certification bodies. In the future, it will continue to be open and shared with the whole industry, accelerating the output of whole-station-level empirical standard systems.
