Winter Peak Demand Support: SVOLT’s 8.5MW/16.5MWh Commercial & Industrial Short Blade Liquid-Cooled Energy Storage Project Achieves Stable Operation
On September 6, 2024, an 8.5MW/16.5MWh commercial and industrial (C&I) Short Blade liquid-cooled energy storage project supported by SVOLT was successfully connected to the grid in Shanghai Pudong New Area. After nearly three months of stable operation, the project is expected to help alleviate the electricity shortage during winter peak demand in Shanghai. The system provides functions including peak cut as well as demand-side response. It supplies additional power during peak consumption periods and stores electricity during off-peak hours, helping stabilize power supply and enabling enterprises to avoid disruptions caused by outages or voltage fluctuations.

The project adopts SVOLT’s 5MWh Short Blade liquid-cooled energy storage system. SVOLT’s proprietary thermal composite short blade cell, enabled by the golden combination of Short Blade + Fly Stacking, significantly improves thermal dissipation, safety, and consistency. Upgraded thermal management system and the dual-sided liquid-cooling architecture effectively suppress thermal propagation, extend product lifespan, and ensure long-term reliable operation of the energy storage system, safeguarding stable power supply for critical operations.

Notably, SVOLT’s project team demonstrated exceptional operational efficiency and collaboration. Despite tight delivery schedules and challenging conditions including high temperatures and typhoons, SVOLT team conducted overnight commissioning and provided around-the-clock on-site support to accelerate project deployment, protecting customers’ power reliability and underscoring SVOLT’s strong commitment to client needs.

This energy storage station represents a benchmark project for SVOLT in the C&I sector, highlighting the company’s continued efforts to advance sustainable development and drive the energy transition. Having withstood rigorous market validation, we can believe that SVOLT’s 5MWh Short Blade liquid-cooled energy storage system is well positioned for broader industry adoption, contributing to a cleaner, more sustainable, and lower-carbon energy future.
