The Large-Scale Advanced Power Storage Key Technology Research and Demonstration Project is a key research project of the Tsinghua University–China Three Gorges Corporation Joint Research Institute for Energy and Power New Technologies. The project aims to realize highly safe, long-life, low-cost, large-scale electrochemical energy storage efficient integration and operational control based on digital energy storage technology with dynamically reconfigurable battery networks. By dynamically reconfiguring the millisecond-level battery network topology, the inherent weaknesses of battery systems are fundamentally eliminated. The project’s related achievements have been successively selected as “Typical Cases of Green and Low-Carbon Energy Transition by the National Energy Administration,” “Pilot Demonstration Projects of New Energy Storage by the National Energy Administration,” and listed in the “Fifth Batch of Major Technical Equipment for First Units of Energy Storage” by the National Energy Administration.
