All vanadium flow batteries will become a new star in the energy storage track! Rongke Energy Storage has completed a B-round financing of over 1 billion yuan to install batteries in cities!
On April 17th, it was reported that recently, Dalian Rongke Energy Storage Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Rongke Energy Storage") completed a B-round financing of over 1 billion yuan. This round of financing was led by Junlian Capital, and Dalian Jintou, the old shareholder Rongtuo Capital, and multiple other investors joined in. This round of financing will be used for the company's capacity expansion and research and development investment.
The rapid rise of new energy tracks such as photovoltaic and wind power cannot be overstated. In order to mitigate the impact of a large number of new energy equipment being connected to the grid, the energy storage market has emerged. At the end of 2017, since the joint release of the energy storage industry guidance by five ministries, the heat of energy storage has been increasing day by day. Optimistic market expectations have attracted round after round of "gold diggers", with hundreds of companies, large and small, in a small industry that initially had only a few billion yuan of output value.
When a market is about to explode, there is always a trail to follow. Recently, players around the world have been intensively accelerating the layout of energy storage, which is another "trillion" market outside of power batteries.
Industry insiders have stated that the high growth of wind and solar installed capacity in China is expected to drive the demand for pre meter storage in 2023, while the high electricity prices of European energy crisis households are expected to drive the demand for post meter storage. The growth of pre meter storage projects is also expected to see a high growth rate, and it is optimistic about the global demand for lithium batteries for energy storage in 2023.
Rongke Energy Storage was established in 2008 and collaborated with the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences to establish its subsidiary Dalian Rongke Energy Storage Technology Development Co., Ltd., specializing in the research and development, industrialization, and market application of vanadium flow battery technology. It is one of the earliest energy technology companies in China to engage in the research and manufacturing of vanadium flow batteries. Rongke Energy Storage participated in the establishment process of China's liquid flow battery industry from scratch, and was approved to establish the National Key Laboratory of Energy Liquid Flow Energy Storage Battery Technology and the National Local Joint Construction Engineering Research Center. It has won more than 10 scientific and technological achievements awards, including the second prize of the National Technology Invention Award. The company's headquarters, research and development, and production bases are located in Dalian, Liaoning, and production bases have been invested and constructed in Sichuan, Anhui, Jiangsu, and other places.
Focusing on the vanadium flow battery industry chain, Rongke Energy Storage and its subsidiaries have achieved significant breakthroughs in the core technology of all vanadium flow batteries after more than ten years of accumulation and innovation. They have established a complete independent intellectual property system and are the leading setter of domestic and international standards in the field of liquid flow batteries. The company has taken the lead in achieving domestic production of key materials such as vanadium flow battery electrolyte and double plates, as well as large-scale production of battery stacks and battery systems.
Renewable energy power generation has intermittent and fluctuating characteristics, and does not yet have self balancing ability. After large-scale integration into the power grid, it is required that the power system must have a certain degree of adaptability and response ability in order to ensure the stability of renewable energy power supply. Energy storage technology can effectively solve the problems of power system operation safety, electricity balance, and renewable energy consumption, and is a necessary technical support for the full development and utilization of renewable energy. Especially when the proportion of wind and solar power exceeds 20%, in response to large-scale intermittent new energy grid connection, the demand for long-term energy storage of 4 hours or more begins to grow rapidly.
Vanadium flow batteries have the characteristics of fully autonomous and controllable resources and industry chain, high adaptability to large-scale renewable energy construction, and the longer the energy storage time, the lower the unit cost. Before 2021, vanadium flow batteries are basically in the stage of small-scale dispersed project construction; In 2022, the vanadium liquid flow battery industry ushered in spring, with 100 megawatt level power plants put into operation and downstream energy storage projects starting to undergo gigawatt hour level bidding, driving the development of the market; Multiple research institutions have predicted that by 2030, the global market size for liquid flow battery energy storage will reach tens of billions of yuan.
As one of the earliest vanadium liquid flow battery energy storage enterprises, Rongke Energy Storage has taken the technological and commercial models as a breakthrough, and has taken the lead in operating numerous projects in fields such as power grid peak shaving, renewable energy grid connection, and industrial and commercial microgrids. With rich engineering experience, its products have been widely applied in China and overseas regions such as the United States, Australia, and Germany; The company has currently delivered projects to central enterprises such as State Power Investment, Datang, Huadian, and China National Radio and Television Corporation; The company adheres to research and development investment, technological iteration and upgrading, and creates product price advantages. Through cooperation with vanadium resource manufacturers, the company achieves vanadium resource advantages and strengthens its core market competitiveness.
After the completion of this round of financing, the company will continue to focus on the vanadium flow battery energy storage field, accelerate the expansion and upgrading of innovation platforms, research and development of new generation energy storage products and key components, further expand in the global market and introduce high-end talents, continue to consolidate and improve the technological position of Rongke Energy Storage in the vanadium flow battery field, and support the progress of carbon neutrality in China and the world.
Liu Yanhui, founder of Rongke Energy Storage, stated: At present, we are in a new era of global energy transformation, with carbon neutrality and carbon peaking moving from global consensus to global action. Since its establishment, Rongke Energy Storage has been closely following the national energy transformation strategy, adhering to the path of independent innovation, and deeply cultivating in the field of vanadium flow battery energy storage for fifteen years. We have built a concentric industry group that covers vanadium flow battery technology innovation, key materials, and energy storage equipment production and manufacturing. Vanadium flow batteries have inherent safety and exceptional length Outstanding advantages such as lifespan and resource friendliness are important technological choices for large-scale, medium to long-term power grid regulation resources. The current is a critical period for the development of vanadium flow battery industry. We hope to accelerate the commercialization process of vanadium flow battery energy storage through continuous technological innovation, capital assistance, and collaborative integration of upstream and downstream industries
