Safety and Intelligence as Core Competencies: The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) with energy storage technologies will lead to the establishment of safety warning systems based on digital twins and intelligent operation and maintenance platforms as industry standards. The Ankuai Acrel-2000ES Energy Management System integrates AI algorithms to monitor battery status in real-time, providing precise early warnings for potential faults and significantly enhancing system safety.
2. Diverse Application Scenarios: A prominent feature of energy storage during the 14th Five-Year Plan is its expanding application boundaries. From large-scale energy storage supporting power generation bases to commercial and industrial peak-valley arbitrage and dynamic capacity increases, as well as emerging low-altitude economy energy storage and integrated solar-storage-charging stations, Ankuai offers customized solutions for various scenarios, such as providing comprehensive monitoring and protection equipment for wind power and storage systems to significantly increase wind energy utilization.
3. Diverse Technological Roadmaps: The emergence of various long-duration storage technologies, such as sodium-ion batteries, flow batteries, and solid-state batteries, alongside mainstream lithium batteries, will reshape the industry landscape. Ankuai’s series of DC metering products are compatible with multiple energy storage technology routes, catering to precise measurement needs across different scenarios.
4. Market Reform Creating Profit Opportunities: With the complete opening of the spot market, energy storage can generate revenue through various channels such as peak-valley arbitrage and ancillary services. Ankuai’s smart energy management platform enables businesses to participate in demand response, automatically optimizing charging and discharging strategies to maximize the economic benefits of energy storage.
5. Global Expansion for Leading Enterprises: During the 14th Five-Year Plan, Chinese energy storage companies will accelerate their expansion into international markets, particularly in Europe, America, and along the Belt and Road Initiative. Ankuai’s products have obtained multiple international certifications, providing energy storage system solutions that meet local standards for clients worldwide.

Ankuai’s New Energy Storage Product System and Application Value

Ankuai’s core competency lies in commercial and industrial energy storage solutions. To address user-side needs for peak-valley arbitrage, demand management, and emergency backup power, Ankuai offers a comprehensive service from hardware to software platforms:

• Acrel-2000ES Energy Management System: Serving as the “brain” of the energy storage system, it monitors the operation status of PCS, BMS, meters, and fire safety equipment in real-time. It supports advanced functions such as planned curves, peak shaving and valley filling, and demand control, helping commercial users implement dual charging and discharging strategies to enhance energy storage returns.
• High-Precision DC Metering Products: This includes the PZ72L-DE embedded meter and the DJSF1352 wall-mounted meter, which accurately measure the voltage, current, power, and bidirectional energy of energy storage systems, providing a data foundation for energy management. These products feature RS-485 communication interfaces and support the Modbus-RTU protocol for easy system integration.
• Enterprise Microgrid Energy Efficiency Management Platform: Complying with Jiangsu Province’s “New Power Load Management System Data Access Specifications,” this platform optimally coordinates distributed energy sources such as photovoltaics, energy storage, and charging stations, reducing electricity demand and costs while also supporting demand response participation to generate additional revenue.

In the field of new energy supporting energy storage, Ankuai provides a full set of protective measurement and control products for wind power and storage systems, addressing issues such as wind power volatility and grid stability. Its monitoring system collects real-time operational data from wind turbines, cooperating with storage systems to mitigate power fluctuations and improve wind energy utilization.

For the residential energy storage market, Ankuai has developed bidirectional metering meters and anti-backflow control systems, helping homeowners increase their self-consumption rates of solar power and achieve optimal economic operation of “solar + storage.”

Three Recommendations for Seizing Energy Storage Opportunities in the 14th Five-Year Plan

1. Prioritize High Price Difference Areas: With the advancement of the electricity spot market, areas such as Guangdong and Zhejiang have already demonstrated commercial viability for peak-valley price differences. Ankuai’s smart energy platform can automatically optimize charging and discharging strategies based on real-time electricity price data, ensuring project investment returns.
2. Focus on System Safety and Intelligence: During the 14th Five-Year Plan, safety standards for energy storage will become stricter. Companies should choose suppliers with comprehensive BMS/EMS systems. Ankuai’s products have passed multiple safety certifications, and its AI warning system reduces operational risks.
3. Explore Diverse Profit Models: In addition to peak-valley arbitrage, options such as capacity leasing, demand response, and green certificate trading will become sources of revenue for energy storage. The Ankuai platform supports data monitoring and strategy optimization for various revenue models, assisting users in maximizing their earnings.

In the context of the robust development of the new energy storage industry during the 14th Five-Year Plan, Ankuai will continue to deepen technological innovation and enhance its product system to provide partners with safer, more efficient, and smarter energy storage solutions, collectively promoting the green and low-carbon transformation of energy.
