Ampace: Leading the Charge in Advanced Energy Storage Solutions

Ampace is revolutionizing the energy storage industry with cutting-edge technology and cost-effective solutions, delivering unparalleled efficiency and reliability for a sustainable future. Ampace’s innovations are setting new standards and transforming industries worldwide.

Economic Benefits and Cost-Effectiveness

Ampace’s approach goes beyond initial costs to consider life, operation, maintenance, and auxiliary power, ensuring long-term value for customers. The economic advantages of the newly launched UniC series are evident. For example, in Munich, the UniC series enhances lifecycle capacity by 390MWh under typical conditions of 100kWh and two cycles per day. It also reduces operation and maintenance costs by €2,400 and auxiliary power supply costs by €7,935 compared to conventional all-in-one products. This reduction in costs, combined with increased efficiency, demonstrates Ampace’s commitment to delivering economically viable solutions.

Technological Innovations and Performance

Ampace’s innovations are deeply rooted in advanced battery cell technology. The company introduced a battery cell named Kunlun Cell with a 20-year lifespan and align with the 20-year lifespan of photovoltaic equipment, significantly surpassing industry standards. The Kunlun Battery Cell 2.0, powered by GT40 technology, exemplifies these advancements, offering enhanced reliability and lifecycle in diverse operating environments. It adopts the new Anode & Cathode Recipes, Special Electrolyte Formula, and two-sided tab structure design for improved efficiency, reliability, and a longer life cycle.

Industry-First Full Temperature Range Control Solution

Ampace is also making waves with its industry-first Full Temperature Range Control Technology, which operates without auxiliary cooling. It is an all-in-one solution that combines heat dissipation, self-heating, and temperature conditioning systems, ensuring smooth operations under different temperatures. Together with the intelligent temperature control strategy, it ensures the battery maintains the optimal working temperature for enhanced reliability and energy efficiency. It is particularly suited for commercial and industrial applications, including 5G base stations, data centers, high-power fast-charging facilities, and zero-carbon parks. By facilitating the transformation of industries and supporting energy independence, Ampace’s solutions promise wide-ranging societal benefits.

Tailoring Solutions for Local Markets

Ampace’s storage systems are tailored to meet the specific needs of local markets. The UniC series’ 1C function supports multi-purpose applications like charging stations and frequency response, addressing the limitations of grid power. This capability enhances the economic efficiency of these applications and ensures compatibility with a broader range of uses. Ampace’s commitment to adhering to the latest EU battery regulations (EU)2023/1542 is evident in its stringent safety standards, which extend from the module level to the cell level, incorporating advanced protective designs to prevent uncontrolled heat spreading between cells.

Maximize the Energy ROI

Ampace prides itself on being a frontrunner in developing advanced cooling methods. The company’s superior cell technology addresses industry pain points, making their products safer, more reliable, and economically advantageous throughout their lifecycle. A demo site in Shenzhen with a 1MWh capacity operates two cycles per day, yielding a daily discharge of approximately 2,000kWh. With an average electricity unit price difference of 0.5 yuan, customers can achieve a daily profit of 1,000 yuan. This practical example underscores how Ampace’s products help clients maximize their return on investment.

Robust R&D and Manufacturing Capabilities

Ampace’s comprehensive energy storage solutions span cells, modules, packs, and total solutions, with flexible formats such as pouch, cylindrical, and prismatic. The company’s highly automated production lines ensure speed and efficiency, producing one tabless cylindrical cell every 0.17 seconds and one battery pack every 2.5 minutes. Advanced technologies like Bata Ray, CCD, and X-ray filtration are applied for precise control, supported by AI-driven quality assurance across 5,000+ control points. Ampace invests 10% of its total revenue in R&D, fostering innovation and welcoming talent to its team. This robust R&D foundation enables the company to develop and manufacture the full range of products, ensuring quality and reliability across diverse applications.

Addressing Industry Challenges

Despite its advancements, Ampace recognizes the challenges facing the energy storage industry, particularly regarding safety and reliability. To address these challenges, Ampace has dedicated extensive R&D efforts towards design, distribution, testing, and verification. The company has developed its own testing capacities for raw materials, key components, cells, modules, packs, and terminal systems.

Dr. Yuan emphasizes that while safety and reliability require time to prove, Ampace’s scientific methods and long-term validation processes are designed to ensure that their products can withstand the test of time. Safety remains the top priority for Ampace, as evidenced by their outstanding safety record in the residential ESS segment, with zero accidents reported over the past years.

Central to this commitment is the UniC series, which strictly adheres to Ampace’s product safety design guidelines. At the cell level, the UniC series features shield technology for anti-thermal propagation, effectively preventing thermal runaway. The heat generated by a purposely triggered cell is well isolated from its surrounding cells, ensuring localized issues do not escalate. Additionally, at the system level, the UniC series is engineered with directional explosion venting to further enhance safety. These comprehensive safety measures underscore Ampace’s dedication to delivering reliable and secure energy storage solutions, reinforcing their position as a leader in the industry.

Ampace’s relentless pursuit of innovation, coupled with its comprehensive approach to cost-effectiveness, safety, and reliability, positions it as a leader in the energy storage industry. By continuously pushing the boundaries of technology, Ampace not only meets the current demands of various sectors but also paves the way for a sustainable and energy-independent future.
