New Energy Equipment

1. Definition and coverage of new energy equipment

New energy equipment refers to equipment used in the production, conversion, storage and utilization of new energy.

Renewable energy power generation equipment:

Solar energy equipment: For example, solar panels are key equipment for converting solar energy into electrical energy. They directly convert solar energy into electrical energy through the photoelectric effect. There are also solar inverters, which are used to convert the direct current generated by solar panels into alternating current so that it can be incorporated into the power grid or used directly by users.

Wind power generation equipment: Wind turbines are core equipment, consisting of wind wheels, generators, towers and other components. The wind wheels capture wind energy and drive the generator to rotate and generate electricity. In large wind farms, many wind turbines work together to convert wind energy into electrical energy.

Hydropower generation equipment: Such as turbines and generators. The turbine converts the energy of water flow into mechanical energy, and the generator converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy. Small hydropower generation equipment can be used in small hydropower projects in some mountainous areas, and large ones are used in large hydropower projects such as the Three Gorges.

New energy storage equipment:

Lithium battery equipment: Widely used in new energy vehicles and energy storage power stations. For example, the lithium battery compositing system and stacking machine produced by Jingce Electronics are used in the assembly and testing of lithium battery cells.

Other energy storage devices: such as supercapacitors, which have the characteristics of fast charging and discharging, can provide high-power electrical energy output in a short time, and have application potential in some occasions that require instantaneous high energy, such as the starting and acceleration of electric vehicles.

New energy vehicle related equipment:

Charging piles: Provide charging services for new energy vehicles, including AC charging piles and DC charging piles. DC charging piles have a faster charging speed and are suitable for fast charging scenarios. AC charging piles have a relatively slow charging speed, but the installation cost is low, which is suitable for home or office use.

New energy vehicle production equipment: such as homogenization, mixing, coating and other processing equipment and automated production lines of Han's Laser in the new energy field lithium battery equipment, which are used in the production and processing of lithium battery cells, modules, and PACK segments; some equipment in photovoltaic equipment is used in the production of photovoltaic cells and components, etc. 2. Development status of new energy equipment

(I) Technological innovation

Intelligent development:

In terms of intelligent application, CRRC's new energy locomotives are equipped with high-definition video equipment and laser radar, which collect environmental visual data at 360 degrees and monitor the application scene status in real time. Through automatic perception, intelligent decision-making, and intelligent operation, the safe and stable operation of the locomotive is fully guaranteed; in terms of intelligent maintenance, PHM (fault prediction and health management) technology is applied to realize fault perception, status monitoring and life prediction of locomotives and key components.

In the field of new energy equipment manufacturing, the application of industrial Internet promotes the development of equipment towards intelligence. For example, by building a digital, networked, and intelligent manufacturing system, we can achieve precise control of the production process, optimal allocation of resources, and deep mining of data, improve the production efficiency, product quality, and market competitiveness of new energy equipment, and provide customized energy equipment manufacturing solutions, covering the entire life cycle management, and use big data analysis, artificial intelligence and other technologies to achieve accurate prediction, intelligent decision-making, and rapid response.

(II) Product diversification and platformization

China CRRC's series of new energy locomotives fully adopt platformization, standardization, and modular design, and achieve "menu-style" configuration, "building block" assembly, and flexible production, which is convenient for users to choose flexibly, truly realizing optional power mode, variable power configuration, and compatible with a variety of standard charging piles, with a charging power of more than 870 kilowatts, the shortest charging time is less than 40 minutes, and can achieve a wide temperature range of -40 degrees Celsius to +40 degrees Celsius.

III. Challenges faced by the development of new energy equipment

(I) Recycling and utilization issues

While the new energy industry is developing rapidly, the wind power and photovoltaic equipment built in the early stage have gradually entered the retirement period and will usher in a peak of retirement. The current new energy equipment recycling industry is still in its early stages of development and there are still many problems and challenges, such as the recycling of distributed equipment9.

(II) Industry competition and cost pressure

In the field of new energy equipment manufacturing, such as lithium battery equipment manufacturing, there is fierce competition. Many companies compete for a limited market share, which requires companies to continuously reduce costs and improve product quality and performance to maintain competitiveness. At the same time, factors such as fluctuations in raw material prices also bring cost pressure to companies.
