Research Updates

The team has successfully developed China's first large-scale lithium-ion battery energy storage system (50MW/2000MJ) specifically designed for the power supply of high-speed flying trains. This system is capable of instantaneous high-current output with a rapid response speed and can effectively compensate for the internal resistance voltage drop during high-rate discharge to ensure a stable output voltage. By adopting an integrated charging and battery energy management architecture, the device achieves high power density while maintaining large capacity and strong robustness. Furthermore, it is equipped with comprehensive protection functions, advanced safety control measures, and remote monitoring capabilities. The achievements have been successfully implemented in a demonstration application at the Third Academy of China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC).

Relying on the project 'Supercapacitor Energy Storage Technology and Equipment for Instantaneous Power Fluctuation and Wide-Band Oscillation Suppression' in collaboration with the Heilongjiang Power Grid, the team has successfully developed a supercapacitor energy storage device designed to suppress wide-band oscillations in photovoltaic power stations, which has enhanced grid stability and has been implemented in a demonstration application.

Led by Harbin Institute of Technology, the Jiangnan Shipyard—Harbin Institute of Technology Marine Electrical Laboratory has been established. The laboratory will focus on collaborative research in the field of advanced marine electrical systems, aiming to resolve the complex integration challenges of integrated power and control systems. This initiative will support the development and deployment of new high-end vessel types and facilitate the ecological upgrading of the shipping industry.
