SHENZHEN, China, April 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- SINEXCEL (300693.SZ), a global pioneer in modular energy storage, EV charging and power quality solutions, unveils the World's First Grid-Forming Energy Storage System (ESS) for Low-Altitude Logistics Station with Shenzhen Qihay, a prominent technology firm specializing in intelligent vehicles and low-altitude economy. This milestone validates the feasibility of grid-forming energy storage in low-altitude logistics, setting a new benchmark for integrating next-generation power systems with emerging low-altitude infrastructure.
- A Global First: Grid-Forming Energy Storage Powers Drone Logistics
As the industry's first public service hub, this station features a parcel locker alongside a "Lithium + Sodium" hybrid grid-forming ESS. The locker enables AI-driven drone dispatch, smart warehousing, and efficient data processing, enabling 5kg deliveries within a 15km radius. Additional commercial pilots for low-altitude logistics hubs and bases are anticipated to commence in June.
- Technical Breakthrough: Lithium-Sodium Hybrid Grid-Forming Energy Storage
This ESS is a key achievement under Guangdong Province's major R&D initiative on grid-forming energy storage converters. It offers high reliability, long lifespan, and enhanced energy density, delivering robust support for next-gen urban power systems.
Energy & Operation Challenges in the Low-Altitude Economy
Drone delivery stations encounter critical challenges; most small drones possess a flight time of only 15-20 minutes, requiring frequent recharging. In remote areas, inadequate power infrastructure disrupts operations, while high electricity costs at rural stations constrain large-scale commercialization.
Integrated Energy Hub for Low-Altitude Applications
This grid-forming ESS can seamlessly integrate with solar and charging stations to create a mobile, all-in-one "solar-storage-charging" energy hub, delivering timely and reliable power for remote logistics and agricultural scenarios.
Flexible and Cost-Effective Deployment
Easily redeployable, the ESS can be swiftly relocated, minimizing redundant infrastructure investments and accommodating rural or emergency applications. Its long lifecycle further reduces depreciation and operational costs.
- Leading Innovation in the Low-Altitude Economy and Beyond
SINEXCEL will persist in driving technological innovation, accelerating the deployment of grid-forming energy storage and charging infrastructure in the low-altitude economy. We will also explore new frontiers, contributing to the global energy transition and empowering the growth of emerging industries.
