Driven by the intensification of the global climate crisis and the "dual carbon" goals, power technology is undergoing unprecedented changes. From new energy vehicles to data centers, from energy storage systems to outdoor portable devices, every breakthrough in power technology is reshaping the boundaries of energy utilization.

1、 Breakthrough in high-capacity energy storage technology, big storage enters the "9MWh era"

On May 7th, CATL released the world's first mass-produced 9MWh ultra large capacity energy storage system solution TENER Stack at the Munich Battery Storage Exhibition in Germany, marking a new era in large storage technology. The system achieves flexible capacity configuration through modular design, with a 50% increase in single cabinet capacity compared to traditional solutions and a 30% increase in deployment efficiency. The lithium iron phosphate battery cells used have a cycle life of over 12000 times, support wide temperature range operation from -30 ℃ to 60 ℃, and are equipped with an intelligent thermal management system, which can still maintain 98% charge and discharge efficiency in extreme environments.

Industry analysis suggests that as the vulnerability of the European power grid is exposed and the proportion of distributed energy increases, the demand for intelligent regulation functions in large storage systems is surging. The release of TENER Stack is timely, with a cost reduction of 15% compared to similar products, which is expected to drive the IRR (internal rate of return) of energy storage projects to over 12% and accelerate the commercialization process of the global energy storage market.

2、 Gallium Nitride Technology Reshaps Server Power, Data Center PUE Breaks 1.2

Against the backdrop of exponential growth in demand for AI computing power, server power efficiency has become a key bottleneck restricting the development of intelligent computing centers. Yuannao Server is the first to achieve mass production of the entire range of gallium nitride titanium power supplies. Its 1300W/1600W/2000W products have a conversion efficiency of 96% in the 20% -50% load range, which is 4 percentage points higher than traditional platinum power supplies.

Technical data shows that the electron mobility of gallium nitride devices is 10 times that of silicon, supporting MHz level high-frequency switching and reducing dynamic losses by 70%; At the same power, the on resistance is only 1/5 of that of silicon-based devices, and the heat generation is reduced by 50%. After adopting this plan, the annual energy savings of 10000 data centers exceeded 2 million kWh, the PUE value decreased from 1.3 to 1.18, and the energy consumption of air conditioning decreased by 18%. This breakthrough not only drives data centers towards the goal of "zero carbon", but also gives rise to an industry trend of dual upgrading of power efficiency at the server device level and intelligent computing center system level.

3、 Outdoor power lightweighting revolution, 3-degree electrical equipment achieves "backpack level portability"

Against the backdrop of carbon neutrality and the integration of outdoor economy, portable energy storage devices are experiencing a technological explosion. Huabao New Energy's electric sub brand has launched a new generation of safe fast charging outdoor power supply 3000 Pro 2, which subverts industry perception with "3 degree capacitance, 2 degree body". This product uses CTB (Cell to Body) integrated technology to deeply integrate the battery cell with the body frame, reducing its volume by 35% and weight by 40%, making it the lightest and smallest 3kWh level household energy storage device in the world.

The Chargefield 2.0 safe fast charging technology it is equipped with achieves a capacity retention rate of over 70% after 4000 charge and discharge cycles, with a cycle life of 10 years; Paired with 200W ultra light solar panels (with a photovoltaic conversion efficiency of 25%), the daily power generation increases by 23% compared to traditional solutions. In emergency rescue, outdoor shooting and other scenarios, this device can simultaneously drive high-power devices such as ventilators and 4K cameras, and supports 0.02 second seamless UPS switching with silent operation ≤ 30dB.

4、 Dual wheel drive of policy and market, restructuring of global power industry pattern

China's new energy installed capacity continues to lead: Xinjiang's total installed capacity of power sources has exceeded 200 million kilowatts, with new energy accounting for 55.72%. Among them, wind power and photovoltaic installed capacity rank second and fourth in the country, respectively. State Grid Xinjiang Electric Power has promoted the green electricity consumption rate to 92% through the demonstration project of "new energy+energy storage+phase-shifting camera".
Overseas policies are forcing technological upgrades: The EU's "New Battery Law" requires the carbon footprint of batteries to be traced back to the mining process, promoting companies such as CATL and BYD to accelerate the construction of zero carbon supply chains. Enphase Energy, a manufacturer of photovoltaic micro inverters in the United States, has achieved a cumulative shipment volume of over 6.5 million units of its IQ series micro inverters through localized production, enjoying tax credit benefits.
Competition for voice in standard setting: The China Electronics Manufacturing Industry Summit focuses on "high-voltage and high-power technology" and "48V power supply system". Companies such as BYD and Huawei have launched megawatt flash charging and 800V supercharging platforms, promoting a 40% increase in charging efficiency for new energy vehicles.

5、 Future outlook: Power technology will become the "winner" of the energy revolution

As the global energy transition enters a deep-water zone, the direction of innovation in power technology is becoming increasingly clear:

Material Revolution: Commercialization of solid-state batteries and sodium ion batteries accelerates, with energy density exceeding 500Wh/kg;
System reconstruction: Integrated light storage and charging, V2G (vehicle to grid) technology promotes the transformation of energy networks from "one-way transmission" to "two-way interaction";
Intelligent collaboration: AI algorithms optimize power management to achieve millisecond level load response and fault prediction.

In this green revolution, power technology has become not only a tool for energy conversion, but also a core force in reshaping the industrial landscape and defining future energy forms. As industry experts have said, "Whoever masters power technology holds the key to the zero carbon era
