Der Wettlauf um die Parameter hat sein Ende erreicht. Hichen Energy hat mit Großkapazitätsbatterien einen neuen Wettlauf eröffnet.

In the red ocean of homogeneous competition in the lithium iron phosphate energy storage market, a Chinese enterprise is reconstructing the industry landscape through technological innovation. With the breakthrough technologies of its 1175Ah and 587Ah large - capacity energy storage cells, Hichen Energy Storage has made a magnificent transformation from an industry follower to a rule - maker. This is not only a product iteration but also a paradigm revolution in the energy storage industry.

Looking back to 2022, when the entire industry was still focusing on the standardized iteration of 314Ah cells, Hichen Energy Storage quietly initiated a technological breakthrough. At that time, the global energy storage market was experiencing explosive growth, but the core technology route had fallen into path dependence. Enterprises were competing to make minor parameter adjustments on cells of the same specifications, but few were thinking about fundamental innovations at the system level. The R & D team of Hichen Energy Storage acutely realized that the reverse design logic of "cells determining the system" was the key bottleneck restricting the efficiency improvement of the energy storage industry.

On December 12, 2023, the first ecological day of Hichen Energy Storage became a turning point in the industry. Its globally launched over - 1000Ah long - duration energy storage large cells (later iterated to 1175Ah) and the over - 6MWh system suitable for scenarios over 4 hours were like a boulder thrown into a lake, causing a huge stir. This product creatively defined the minimalist architecture of 4 rows and 4 clusters for a 20 - foot energy storage system, completely breaking the traditional design mode and achieving forward development from the energy storage system to the cells.

This architectural innovation is of great significance. Traditional 20 - foot container energy storage systems generally use a 6 - row architecture with 314Ah cells, while Hichen Energy Storage's 4 - row and 4 - cluster design has elevated the system integration efficiency to a new height. More importantly, it has subverted the industry inertia. Instead of the cell specifications restricting the system design, the optimal system architecture is determined first, and then the cell parameters are defined in reverse. This "forward system development" model has freed the energy storage system design from the constraints of cell morphology, opening up a whole new realm of imagination for the industry.

In 2024, Hichen Energy Storage further deepened its technological layout. Based on the huge cost advantage of the 4 - row architecture, Hichen Energy Storage extended this innovation to 2 - hour application systems. At the second ecological day in December of the same year, the release of the 587Ah large - capacity energy storage cell completed Hichen Energy Storage's full - scenario coverage. This cell, with a capacity exactly half of the 1175Ah cell, is specifically designed for 2 - hour scenarios. It shares the pack platform and system platform with the 1175Ah cell, forming a perfect product matrix.

Behind this technological synergy is the closed - loop ecosystem of "R & D - product - scenario" built by Hichen Energy Storage. The 1175Ah cell is precisely targeted at long - duration energy storage scenarios over 4 hours, meeting the requirements of large - scale power grid energy storage, renewable energy grid connection, etc., which have extremely high requirements for capacity and stability. The 587Ah cell focuses on 2 - hour scenarios, covering areas such as power grid peak shaving and industrial and commercial energy storage. The difference between the two is not just in capacity but in precise design based on scenario requirements.

Behind the technological breakthrough is solid R & D investment. Hichen Energy Storage has built a technological matrix of over 3900 patents, forming three - dimensional innovation capabilities in the three dimensions of materials, structure, and system. Take the 587Ah cell as an example. Its cycle life exceeds 11,000 times, far higher than the industry average. It uses patented three - dimensional anti - thermal runaway technology to ensure all - round safety. The system energy efficiency is greater than 94.5%, significantly reducing energy loss. These breakthroughs in core indicators are due to Hichen Energy Storage's full - chain independent R & D ability from materials to recycling.

In an era when the industry generally pursues short - term benefits, the strategic determination of Hichen Energy Storage is particularly valuable. From technological accumulation in 2022 to full - scenario layout in 2024, it has built a complete technological evolution map in two years. This forward - looking vision is not only reflected in the product level but also in the precise grasp of industry trends. As the global energy structure is accelerating its transformation and the demand for long - duration energy storage is increasing, Hichen Energy Storage has already prepared solutions.

The practice of Hichen Energy Storage provides a model for Chinese energy storage enterprises to break through homogenization. Instead of simply pursuing parameter improvements, it defines technologies based on scenarios. Instead of developing products in isolation, it builds an expandable technological platform. Instead of passively coping with competition, it actively shapes industry rules through patent layout. This leap from "scale competition" to "value competition" may be the key for the Chinese energy storage industry to lead the world.
