France electricity prices surge past €1,000/MWh

/in /by

Wholesale electricity prices in France for the middle of winter surged above €1,000/MWh ($A1,540/MWh) after the operator of the world’s biggest nuclear fleet revealed more problems and more outages at its reactors.

Half of France’s 56 reactors are out of action due to scheduled or emergency maintenance measures. “The situation changed drastically this year when France swung from being one of Europe’s largest exporters of electricity to a net importer because of issues with its reactors.”–  Bloomberg

 

Energy Storage

Natural gas prices have been steadily climbing since last summer, with the war in Ukraine increasing the pressure. Combined with efforts against climate change, it’s never been clearer that the world needs to move towards renewables.

However, there’s an obvious problem – most forms of renewables don’t produce energy on demand. The power needs to keep flowing even when the wind doesn’t blow and the sun doesn’t shine.

The words ‘power storage’ might make you think of batteries.

 

Solar Plus Battery System

The sun shines when energy demand is lowest, which means your home can’t take full advantage of the benefits of rooftop solar without a way to store the excess power you generate. Complementing your solar system with a home battery gives you a way to harvest the excess clean power you produce daily for use when the sun goes down and when you actually need it.

3 FAQs About Home Battery Storage

/in /by

ZRGP energy storage system can reduce your fuel bills and carbon emissions, especially if you already have home solar panels. Residential Energy Storage Systems offer considerable energy and cost-saving benefits such as solar battery storage， peak shifting， grid services， and battery storage backup.

Here are some of the most frequently asked questions about energy storage.

 

 1、How do batteries differ?

There are four main types of batteries namely lithium-ion, lead-acid, flow, and saltwater. Lithium-ion batteries are generally the most suitable for homeowners, as they’re lightweight, compact, and typically have a longer shelf life than other battery technologies. They also have a higher depth of discharge, meaning you can tap into more of your battery’s capacity.

All of ZRGP’s BESS, modules use lithium iron phosphate to ensure the safest, most efficient, and cleanest product to power your life.

 

 2、What are the benefits of energy storage systems?

Coupled with your home solar system, the ZRGP PowerBase Max-X energy storage system gives you greater control over your energy usage and bills and helps you get the most from your solar investment.

  • Reduce Electricity Bills

Adding an energy storage system to your home can effectively reduce the electricity bill. Installing an energy storage system will keep the total power consumption below a specified value. With on-site storage, you can charge your batteries whenever electricity rates are at their lowest (during off-peak hours or with your free solar energy).

  • Maximize Self-Consumption

The energy storage system can perfectly suit commercial and residential uses. During the daytime, the system can collect and store energy, which can be used at night whenever needed. Property owners are provided with the most efficient use of solar energy at home, including grid independence, increased self-consumption, and reduced electricity bills.

  • Emergency Power Backup

Don’t worry about the sudden power failure. Residential energy storage solutions integrated with solar panels can ensure energy backup. The backup power system is used to provide energy when the primary source fails for the 24/7 power supply.

 

 3、Can I Go off-grid?

Installing battery storage in your home does not necessarily mean that you can disconnect completely from the electrical grid. While it’s possible to go off the grid, the number of solar panels and the amount of battery storage you may need to invest in could mean it’s not financially viable.

Generally speaking, going off-grid is not practical for the average urban consumer because:

  • It might be difficult to store enough energy to reliably cover your use during cloudy days in winter;
  • You would not be able to sell any surplus energy back to the grid;
  • There are likely to be significant extra costs (e.g. special additional equipment like the installation of an air-conditioning system) for the battery.

Brand New ZRGP | Factory Introduction

/in /by

New Factory Introduce

ZRGP’s new factory has now been constructed and all the equipment is ready and waiting to start manufacturing. The factory is located in Huizhou and the maximum

surface area is exceeding 10,000 square meters, representing 172,220 square feet. We possess more than 150 experienced employees and many excellent technicians in charge of support and push on manufacturing, ensuring each process is going well.

 

New System

Despite the scale of the factory, we introduced a whole set of MES (Manufacturing Execution System) in order to realize warehouse information visualization and data transparency. In other words, the MES system is an intelligent supervisor who is responsible for recording and processing statistics. More importantly, MES could largely assist employees to manage stocks such as material first-in, first-out, and preventing any unnecessary errors.

 

New Production Line

Moreover, the new factory is equipped with two semi-automatic and two fully automatic production lines. In terms of employees, wages paid could be lessened and more capital could be invested in equipment updating.

In terms of output, diversified production lines can provide stable and sufficient output production, which largely boosts the output capability. It is estimated that the output value of the factory per annual  would be exceeding 3 Gwh.

ZRGP Second Quarter Summary Meeting

/in /by

The summary meeting is divided into two parts: one is the summary of each department manager, and the other is the suggestions and expectations of the chairman.

 

First, the marketing manager shared the work content of the official website and social media, the benefits and costs of each work, and the future work arrangements for the exhibition.

Secondly, Sales Department’s managers and directors summarized the sales and customer development situation, existing problems, and solutions. Corresponding requirements have been made to other departments: product updates, staffing, communication efficiency, etc.

Thirdly, the new product development, platform technology optimization, and after-sales solutions have been summarized by the director of R&D Department. The general manager of the factory shared the production and management status of the factory, which involved the application of ERP, OA, MES, IATF16949, etc. The Human Resources Department also made a summary and planning for the employee part. 

At the end of the meeting, the chairman shared his experience of customer development and expectations for his employees. Based on the summary of each department, it highlights the full support and cooperation of each department to Sales Department.
After the meeting, all employees had dinner together to kick off the third quarter. 

Safest – ZRGP’s Mate (LFP) Passed the UL9540A test

/in /by

ZRGP is pleased to announce passing UL 9540A test at the cell, module, and system level, which means that Mate, ZRGP’s home energy storage system, has reached the highest international standard level in terms of safety and reliability. The passing of this test will help its business to grow globally.

 

What Is UL9540A?

Based on high standards of international certification, reliable R&D strength, and scientific technology training, ZRGP is committed to providing customers with the safest, most economical, and most efficient energy storage systems.

The UL9540A test standard is a test method proposed by UL to evaluate the spread of large-scale thermal runaway fires in electrochemical energy storage systems and has become a landmark industry standard.

In doing so, ZRGP has demonstrated that its product meets the industry’s highest standards for safety and fire prevention.

There are 4 stages in the UL9540A test method:

– CELL LEVEL TEST

At this level, UL looks at whether a cell can exhibit thermal runaway. It also checks its characteristics and flammability.

– MODULE-LEVEL TEST

In this stage, the main goal is to determine if thermal runaway propagates with the module. They will also find out the heat release and gas composition.

– UNIT-LEVEL TEST

Now they will look at the whole unit and see the following. Firstly, they find out how quickly fire spreads. Then they will look for its heat and gas release rates and other hazards.

– INSTALLATION LEVEL TEST

Lastly, they do an installation test. This is an optional test, but its goal is to determine how effective the product’s fire protection is.
