(hereinafter referred to as “zhiguang electric”) and its subsidiaries, it comprehensively demonstrates the cutting-edge technology and practical achievements to promote the high-quality development of new energy storage, and probes into the large-scale path, technology iteration and industrial ecology of new energy storage.
1 summit set sail
policy leads industry into a new era of high-quality development
at the opening ceremony, leaders of national energy authorities, heads of industry associations and representatives of leading energy storage enterprises at home and abroad gathered to hold the grand ceremony. The opening ceremony focused on issues such as new energy storage policy orientation, market mechanism construction, technological innovation breakthroughs, and clarified the key direction of new energy storage from demonstration applications to value hubs.
in 2026, the new energy storage industry was established as one of the six” emerging pillar industries “. the energy storage industry is shifting from scale expansion to a high-quality development stage with quality and efficiency as the core. the competition core of the energy storage industry has shifted from a simple competition of installed capacity to value creation and safety guarantee throughout the life cycle.
2 voice of leaders
to explore the sustainable development model through the cycle
in the academician forum of the frontier technology conference, Jiang Xinyu, president of zhiguang electric, discussed the future business model of energy storage with industry leaders. he stressed that in the face of rapid changes in the industry, enterprises need to build a healthy industrial ecology and strengthen industrial chain coordination, and enhance their own flexible services and capacity support capacity. Jiang Xinyu pointed out that enterprises must have “long-distance running thinking” and focus on solving core pain points such as grid security and revenue improvement, rather than chasing short-term technology iterations, in order to build lasting competitiveness through economic and technological cycles.
3 forum insights
fu jinjian explained the way to break the market
on the afternoon of March 31, the ESIE2026 main forum officially opened, and fu jinjian, general manager of zhiguang energy storage, delivered a keynote speech on “mechanism break, value return-new energy storage marketization path and policy evolution.
Mr. Fu Jinjian mentioned that under the background of the optimization of compulsory allocation and storage policy and the establishment of capacity and electricity price mechanism, the role of energy storage has changed to” independent market subject “and” system stabilizer, based on the project experience of Zhiguang Energy Storage in grid-type cascaded high-voltage energy storage, user-side industrial and commercial energy storage, and new energy supporting energy storage, he proposed a market-oriented landing path of “technology adaptation scenario, mechanism matching value, and operation to enhance revenue”, and pointed out that the application of grid-type cascaded high-voltage energy storage, AC/DC integrated energy storage and other technologies will provide core support for solving the grid stability dilemma, reducing power consumption cost and maximizing energy storage value, it provides a practical reference for policy optimization and market mechanism improvement.
4 Honor Moments
Jiang Xinyu won the” Energy Storage Person of the Year “
At the Welcome Dinner and the Award Ceremony of the 10th International Energy Storage Innovation Competition, mr. Jiang Xinyu was awarded the honorary title of” Energy Storage Person of the Year. The award aims to recognize the leaders who have made outstanding contributions to the large-scale development, technological breakthroughs and market expansion of the energy storage industry, and is a high recognition of the strategic vision and practical achievements of entrepreneurs in the industry.
Mr. Jiang Xinyu has been deeply engaged in the energy storage field for many years, leading zhiguang electric to build a complete energy storage industry chain of” core devices-system integration-intelligent operation and maintenance-full scenario solution “. the company has successfully delivered more than 20 100 MW energy storage demonstration projects, with a cumulative operation scale exceeding 12GWh, helping the construction of new power system. Under the strategic guidance of Mr. Jiang Xinyu, Zhiguang Electric has established significant advantages in the cascaded high-voltage energy storage market segment, and is steadily moving towards the goal of being a professional provider of digital energy technology and integrated energy services with international influence.
5 technology frontier
hard core technology leads industry iteration
zhiguang energy storage technology director Tang Xu was invited to attend the special sub-forum on grid-based energy storage, and delivered a” multi-scenario application of grid-type cascaded high-voltage energy storage system “speech. He shared the core technical advantages of grid-type energy storage, grid-connection of new energy stations, isolated network operation and other cases. The cascaded high-voltage energy storage system has excellent adaptability and reliability under various complex scenarios of source, network and load sides, demonstrating its great potential as the core support equipment of future power grids.
during the exhibition, Liu mancang, manager of zhiguang energy storage solution department, released a 1.55MW/6.25MWh AC/DC integrated large-capacity energy storage system, which highly integrates battery, high-voltage box and PCS, and integrates BMS, EMS and DMS three management systems. One cluster management, DC out of box, factory pre-integration, improve safety and shorten the construction cycle, structural design innovation and hardware optimization and upgrading, can be widely used in new energy power station side smooth output, power grid side peak frequency modulation, industrial and commercial users side peak and valley arbitrage and other scenarios, to promote the industry to high integration, high efficiency, low cost direction of development and upgrading.
6 media focus
transmit the voice of zhiguang energy storage industry
during the exhibition, zhiguang electric leaders and technical experts were invited to participate in a number of authoritative media and platform visits to deeply interpret the energy storage marketization policy trend and industry opportunities, all-round transmission of Zhiguang Electric’s technical concept, product value and industrial responsibility, and further enhance the brand industry influence and market awareness.
ESIE 2026 witnessed the key transition of the energy storage industry from policy-driven to market-driven, from scale growth to value creation. Zhiguang Electric demonstrated its technical strength in the new energy storage field and its deep thinking on the path of energy storage marketization with deep participation in the whole process, full-dimensional technology display and full-scene results sharing.
in the new stage of the” 15th five-year plan “of large-scale, market-oriented and global development of new energy storage, zhiguang electric will continue to take technological innovation as the engine, devote itself to providing customers with solutions with the best value in the whole life cycle, and contribute to the construction of new power system and the green transformation of energy.
