On November 12, a comprehensive energy demonstration station integrating wind, solar, battery swap, storage, and charging, jointly built by Qiji Battery Swap under CATL and Gcl Energy Technology Co.,Ltd. (SZ: 002015), was officially put into operation in Ningde, Fujian Province.
The station is connected to Gcl Energy Technology Co.,Ltd.'s "Juxing AIVP" virtual power plant platform, which uses AI algorithms to enable intelligent scheduling of comprehensive energy scenarios for heavy trucks.
The demonstration station, known as the Qiji Battery Swap Ningde Beishugang Road Station, is adjacent to the G15 Shenhai Expressway and serves as a key refueling node along the eastern coastal freight corridor, with single-station battery swap volume consistently ranking among the highest in the country.
The surrounding area is rich in wind and solar resources, providing favorable conditions for the station to build its own wind and solar installations. The station is equipped with 94 kW of wind and solar capacity, 930 kWh of energy storage, five-minute ultra-fast battery swapping, and megawatt-level supercharging, capable of consuming up to 120,000 kWh of green electricity annually and reducing carbon emissions by 72 tons.
Unlike traditional battery swap stations, this station has built a source-grid-load-storage collaborative microgrid: green electricity is prioritized for charging, surplus power is stored, and released during peak hours, smoothing grid load and reducing customer charging costs.
In this collaboration between Qiji Battery Swap and Gcl Energy Technology Co.,Ltd., perovskite tandem photovoltaic technology has been introduced to the station for the first time nationwide in a heavy truck battery swap and charging load scenario.
The station is also connected to Gcl Energy Technology Co.,Ltd.'s Juxing AIVP virtual power plant platform, relying on AI to dynamically schedule the station's load resources and participate in electricity market interactions.
According to reports, this station is the first heavy truck comprehensive energy demonstration station in Fujian Province that integrates wind and solar power, energy storage, battery swap and charging, and smart scheduling.
Niu Shubin, Vice President of Gcl Energy Technology Co.,Ltd., stated that transportation infrastructure such as battery swap stations and supercharging stations is becoming a promising distributed flexible regulation resource in the new power system. Through Gcl Energy Technology Co.,Ltd.'s "Juxing AIVP" virtual power plant platform, aggregating energy storage, charging and battery swap loads, and distributed renewable energy from dispersed stations helps enhance the overall regulation capacity and market participation value of the transportation energy network.
At the same time, Gcl Energy Technology Co.,Ltd. will leverage its comprehensive energy services, AI virtual power plant regulation, and electricity market trading capabilities to deepen collaboration with CATL (SZ: 300750) and promote the integrated development of the transportation and energy industries.
