On the surface, the energy storage industry seems to be in a stage of rapid technological iteration, with various new types of batteries, PCS modules, and intelligent management systems emerging endlessly. However, a careful analysis of engineering cases reveals that what the industry truly lacks is not technology, but rather the ability to implement projects and integrate systems.
Many enterprises possess cutting-edge technology, yet the reasons for project failures often lie not in the equipment itself, but in the construction, commissioning, and operation and maintenance (O&M) stages. For instance, if the battery management system (BMS) is poorly designed or improperly commissioned, it may lead to a decrease in battery charging and discharging efficiency, and even pose safety hazards. Another example is that compatibility issues with the power conversion system (PCS), inadequate on-site installation standards, and the absence of an O&M plan can all directly impact project outcomes.
A common misconception is the technology-first approach, which believes that high equipment specifications can guarantee project success. However, engineering practice tells us that the performance of an energy storage system depends not only on individual modules, but also on the design, construction, and operation and maintenance coordination of the entire system. Project success requires a complete closed loop from design standards, supply chain management, on-site construction, to long-term operation and maintenance.
Therefore, enterprises that can provide a full range of energy storage products, power supply products, and solutions are more likely to help customers avoid engineering risks. For example, Amax Power, through its mature energy storage products and system integration solutions, ensures that complex systems are reliable and controllable in practical applications. This also verifies the importance of engineering implementation and system integration capabilities, which far outweighs pure technological innovation.
