This year marks the 35th anniversary of the establishment of East Group and the 10th anniversary of its listing. From a holding subsidiary of the world's top 500 enterprises to a demonstration enterprise of mixed reform of state-owned assets and private enterprises in Guangdong Province, under the background of the national "double carbon" strategic goal and the construction of a new power system, relying on the empowerment of state-owned assets, East Group has completed one transformation after another, galloping on the new energy high-speed track, ranking among the top 500 new energy enterprises and the top 100 innovative enterprises in the world, and the in-depth layout in the energy storage industry is particularly eye-catching.
Easter's way of "saving".
With the increasingly severe problem of global climate change, energy storage technology, as the key to the low-carbon energy system, is an important support for the future transformation of the energy structure and plays an indispensable role in the process of moving towards the goal of carbon peak and carbon neutrality.
Focusing on the deep integration of "new energy + energy storage", Professor He Simo, founder and chairman of the board of directors of East Group, has continuously released his determination and confidence to strengthen and expand the energy storage business at the company's internal and external meetings, and regards "new energy + energy storage" as an important strategic business of the group. In recent years, East Group has continued to increase investment in R&D and innovation, accelerated the layout of the industrial chain of core components of energy storage, strengthened the full-stack self-developed and vertically integrated manufacturing capabilities of 4S (BMS/PCS/EMS/PMS) and PACK, continuously expanded the breadth and depth of the market, and achieved fruitful results.
The source of "energy" of Easter
East Group has the confidence to develop energy storage. As a leading enterprise in the UPS industry, it has been deeply engaged in the field of digital energy for more than 30 years, and has accumulated rich experience in R&D, innovation and industrial application in power battery and power electronics technology.
"In the early stage of research and development, East Energy Storage abandoned the thinking of combining hardware like building blocks, and realized that it should be integrated as a system-level product of 4S integration. Liu Baohui, vice president of the company and general manager of energy storage technology, said, "East Group is one of the few enterprises in the industry that has realized the independent development of the core 4S and battery pack (PACK) of energy storage system, and has more advantages in system integration in energy storage integration technology." ”
In order to accelerate the development of energy storage business, East Group has set up an energy storage R&D team of more than 300 people in Xi'an, 65% of whom have more than 10 years of R&D experience, all of whom are from well-known universities such as Xi'an Jiaotong University and Xi'an Institute of Technology, as well as well-known enterprises such as Huawei and Emerson. After years of technology accumulation, it has formed a four-generation integrated system of "mass production generation, development generation, pre-research generation, and exploration generation", which has laid a solid foundation for the company's product technology to always be at the forefront of the industry.
At present, East Group has independently developed string and centralized energy storage systems for the safety, efficiency and reliability requirements of large-scale energy storage power stations on the grid side and power generation side, developed the industry's first immersion liquid-cooled energy storage system based on the safety requirements of large-scale energy storage systems and immersion liquid cooling technology, launched liquid-cooled/air-cooled industrial and commercial energy storage all-in-one machines for the safety, flexibility and high integration of industrial and commercial energy storage, and self-developed energy storage converter PCS products have covered 160kW-3000+kW full power segment...... With the support of a series of energy storage core products, East Group has the ability to provide full-scenario system solutions for energy storage applications such as power generation side, grid side, user side, and microgrid.

At the same time, 35 years of deep cultivation in the industry, East intelligent manufacturing delivery capacity and service network is very perfect, it has established a standardized GW-level manufacturing base in Dongguan Songshan Lake National High-tech Zone, Henan Sanmenxia, Xinjiang Changji, Gansu Zhangye and Qingyang, etc., with an annual delivery capacity of more than 10GWh, and has established 268 customer centers across the country, which can achieve 7*24 hours of quick response.
Easy's ultra-high-power energy storage shows great responsibility
In 2023, the cumulative installed capacity of new energy storage in the country will be 34.5GW (growth rate of 300%), of which nearly 90% will be "large storage" in 2023, which will be dominated by new energy distribution and storage on the power supply side and independent/shared energy storage on the grid side, and "large storage" has become the key to the large-scale development of energy storage. In energy storage technology, the energy storage converter (PCS), as the core device, can not only realize the efficient conversion and storage of energy, but also improve the stability and reliability of the power grid, which is very important.
On April 12, at the 12th Energy Storage International Summit and Exhibition held at Beijing Shougang Convention and Exhibition Center with the theme of "Developing New Energy Storage Productivity and Creating a New Pattern of Energy Transformation", East Group demonstrated a full range of solutions from industrial and commercial to new energy distribution and storage, independent energy storage and other scenarios, with the theme of "Going Big, Leading and Storing the Future", focusing on the release of the 3+ generation of high-power string PCS, injecting new vigorous power into the high-power era of "large-scale energy storage".
Liu Letao, general manager of East energy storage product line, said at the new product launch conference that Easter's new generation of 6.7MW string PCS all-in-one machine is built for the large-scale energy storage market, which is fully adapted to 314Ah+ large cells, with higher integration and stronger modularity, which can realize battery cluster-level management and increase the life of battery cells by more than 10%; The modular design can easily realize the superposition and expansion of modules, and form a "building block" system; The core module has a high protection level of IP66, which is suitable for a variety of harsh ring mirrors, and has 5 intelligent measures, including overall management of 4S (BMS/PCS/EMS/PMS), intelligent scheduling up to level 3, and 20ms fast response advantages.

The new products released by East Group this time can not only greatly meet the diversified needs of the market for "new energy + energy storage" products, but also once again demonstrate the company's deep R&D and innovation strength in the field of energy storage technology. It is reported that East Group will continue to strengthen its R&D efforts in the field of energy storage in the future, and is committed to leading the development of the industry with technological innovation, promoting the upgrading of the "new energy + energy storage" industry, and helping the sustainable and high-quality development of the economy and society.
