On October 10, the SNEC ES+ 2025 International Energy Storage Technology Conference and Exhibition opened. GCL-Poly Energy Technology showcased its “Energy Storage + AI” ecosystem and cutting-edge solutions, highlighting its forward-thinking strategies and practical achievements in energy storage applications, zero-carbon parks, virtual power plants, and energy AI models.
A representative from GCL-Poly Energy stated that the company has successfully developed both grid-side and user-side energy storage solutions in parallel. Currently, GCL-Poly has implemented over 15 grid-side energy storage projects across the country, with an operational capacity exceeding 1000 MW. This capacity acts as a stabilizing force for regional power grids and supports peak power regulation. Notably, in provinces with high electricity demand, such as Jiangsu, these projects have played a crucial role during peak summer usage, demonstrating the feasibility and commercialization pathways of large-scale energy storage.
On the user side, GCL-Poly not only extensively utilizes lithium battery technology but is also actively exploring new technologies such as sodium-ion batteries and all-vanadium flow batteries. These innovations are designed to create efficient energy storage systems tailored for industrial enterprises and parks, transforming them into cost-saving and efficiency-enhancing tools for clients transitioning to low-carbon operations.
Zero-carbon parks, as an essential aspect of the “dual carbon” strategy, are moving from concept to large-scale implementation. At the conference, GCL-Poly launched a comprehensive solution for zero-carbon parks, which features a digital platform as the core system. This solution encompasses five key dimensions: green energy, green transportation, green buildings, ecological operations, and infrastructure, offering one-stop services ranging from carbon accounting and energy efficiency diagnostics to intelligent control and green electricity trading. To date, GCL-Poly has established over 40 zero-carbon demonstration projects nationwide, including factories, parks, hospitals, and schools, providing replicable and scalable pathways for achieving a zero-carbon society.
Importantly, the virtual power plant has emerged as a crucial tool for GCL-Poly in the development of new power systems. It complements energy storage systems to address the volatility and complexity challenges posed by the integration of renewable energy sources. The AIVP virtual power plant platform integrates digital technology to efficiently aggregate distributed solar power, energy storage, charging and swapping facilities, and spot trading resources, enabling integrated scheduling capabilities across sources, grids, loads, and storage. Currently, this platform has expanded to nearly 10 provinces and cities, with adjustable capacity nearing 1 million kilowatts. It has also been invited as the only virtual power plant representative by the Jiangsu Provincial Dispatch Center to participate in peak summer emergency drills, showcasing its technical maturity and market credibility in real-world scenarios.
Additionally, GCL-Poly, in collaboration with Ant Group, unveiled the EnergyTS energy power time series model integration machine. This product combines decades of energy industry experience with cutting-edge digital technology, aiming to create an intelligent system capable of understanding the operational logic of energy systems. By deeply analyzing weather changes, equipment status, market information, and load data, it provides the industry with more accurate forecasting and decision-making capabilities.
