At the recent Intersolar trade show in Munich, pv magazine spoke with Zha Qing, senior manager of overseas market development in the International Business Department of the Chinese company. At the event, the company unveiled its new Galaxy 125 kW, 261 kWh model, designed for energy storage in urban and commercial environments requiring high standards of safety and reliability. Zha Qing, senior manager of overseas market development at XYZs International Business Department, tells pv magazine that the Galaxy 125 kW, 261 kWh represents the latest innovation in immersion batteries. This system addresses the growing demand for robust and secure storage solutions for data centers, hospitals, shopping malls, and metro stations, where proximity to buildings and urban density require advanced protection technologies. Qing describes the Galaxy 125 kW, 261 kWh as using immersion technology developed in collaboration with Tsinghua University. The system submerges the battery cells in a special liquid, eliminating the risk of fires and explosions even in the event of internal failures. This feature makes it an ideal option for installations that lack constant monitoring and dedicated personnel, as is the case with many commercial projects. According to the XYZ executive, most commercial projects dont have independent battery systems or constant on-site monitoring, unlike utility-scale projects. So the company designed its immersion battery as a robust, low-maintenance solution that operates safely without the need for continuous monitoring. The Galaxy battery enables high-power charging for electric vehicle chargers in urban areas, providing a safer and quieter alternative to traditional air- or liquid-cooled systems. Its compact design and ability to integrate into small spaces make it easy to install near critical infrastructure. Zha Qing emphasizes that the immersion battery solution is aimed at critical locations such as data centers, hospitals, shopping malls, and subway stations. The system has already demonstrated its safety advantages, particularly following incidents involving fires in battery storage systems in hotels and commercial buildings. XYZs immersion batteries eliminate the risk of thermal runaway and significantly reduce the possibility of fires spreading in densely populated areas. All XYZ energy storage systems, including the 125 kW, 261 kWh Galaxy, are manufactured at the companys Beijing plant. The company provides integrated solutions encompassing system operation, market support, and AI-assisted decision-making to optimize charging and discharging cycles. Galaxy 125 kW, 261 kWh is now available for international projects and reinforces XYZs commitment to safety and innovation in energy storage for commercial and industrial applications. Since its founding in 2021, XYZ has completed or is implementing energy storage projects totaling 13 GWh in Chile, Mexico, and Kazakhstan, as well as frequency regulation projects for thermal power plants. The company completed its first project at the Peñasco solar farm in Mexico in April 2023, and it is now operational. This project marks one of the first energy storage systems in Mexico and has been operating successfully since its commissioning. The company also operates globally as part of State Power Investment Corporation (SPIC), with a total installed capacity of 260 GW in China, Kazakhstan, Pakistan, Vietnam, Brazil, Chile, Australia, Malta, and Germany. In Mexico, SPIC owns Zuma Energía, which manages 1.3 GW of wind assets. In Brazil, SPIC operates hydroelectric dams, solar farms, combined-cycle plants, and wind farms. The company has also completed significant projects in Chile. The company offers integrated solutions, including system operations, market operations support, and AI-assisted decision-making for optimal loading and unloading cycles. XYZ also provides weather forecasting services to improve operational efficiency. |
