SINEXCEL Unveils the World's First Grid-Forming Energy Storage System for Low-Altitude Logistics

In a groundbreaking development for the logistics industry, SINEXCEL, a global leader in modular energy storage, has announced the launch of the world's first grid-forming energy storage system (ESS) designed for low-altitude logistics stations. This system, developed in collaboration with Shenzhen Qihay, a technology leader in intelligent transport and low-altitude economy, sets a new standard for energy systems in this rapidly evolving sector.

The Innovative Energy Storage Solution

The newly developed ESS is distinguished by its use of hybrid lithium-sodium batteries, marking a significant technological advancement. The energy storage solution not only ensures the efficiency of logistics operations based on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) but also enhances energy management within urban infrastructures. By integrating this energy storage system into logistics operations, SINEXCEL positions itself at the forefront of energy management innovation.

The implementation of this energy storage technology entails establishing a public service hub capable of managing logistics processes with automated dron deliveries. This facility features smart storage solutions and advanced data processing capabilities, enabling the dispatch of packages weighing up to five kilograms over a radius of 15 kilometers.

Addressing the Challenges of Low-Altitude Logistics

Low-altitude logistics is not without its challenges. Most small drones suffer from limited flight durations of approximately 15 to 20 minutes, necessitating frequent recharging. Moreover, power supply inadequacies in remote areas can disrupt operations, while high energy costs in rural stations further hinder large-scale commercialization. The innovative ESS offers a viable solution to these issues, ensuring that energy is available when and where it is needed most.

A Flexible, Comprehensive Energy Solution

The grid-forming ESS from SINEXCEL is designed for seamless integration with solar panels and electric vehicle charging stations. This makes it possible to create a mobile universal energy hub — allowing for effective energy management in remote applications across agriculture and logistics sectors. This integrated approach not only streamlines operations but also enhances the sustainability of logistics practices.

Furthermore, the adaptability of the ESS allows for quick deployment in various contexts, minimizing capital expenditures related to excessive infrastructure. Its long lifecycle also means reduced depreciation and operating expenses, presenting a cost-effective option for logistics operations.

Future Prospects and Contributions

SINEXCEL is committed to ongoing innovation in energy solutions, accelerating the deployment of energy storage and charging infrastructure for low-altitude logistics. The company's goal extends beyond merely improving operational efficiency; it also aims to contribute to the global energy transition and support the growth of emerging industries.

Since its foundation in 2007, SINEXCEL has established a commanding presence in the energy storage sector, having deployed energy storage systems with a collective capacity of 12 GW and over 140,000 electric vehicle charging stations. By collaborating with industry leaders such as EVE Energy and Schneider Electric, SINEXCEL continues to advance energy-saving technologies and solutions.

This groundbreaking ESS thus not only enhances operational efficacy in low-altitude logistics but also represents a vital step toward a sustainable energy future. With expectations for the commencement of commercial pilot projects later this year, SINEXCEL is poised to redefine the logistics landscape, contributing to the advancement of efficient and reliable energy systems across various sectors.
