With the rapid outbreak of AI industry, the high-power, all-weather and fluctuating electricity consumption characteristics of AIDC smart computing center have become prominent, and the traditional power supply mode has been unable to adapt to the development needs of computing power. The core bottleneck of the computing power industry has shifted from the lack of hardware computing power to the shortage of green, stable and long-term power supply, and the three major problems of power supply security, low-carbon indicators and grid carrying capacity have become the key factors restricting the landing of large smart computing clusters. Energy infrastructure has become the core base of the advanced computing power industry.
In this context, long-term energy storage adapted to AIDC scenarios has become a necessity in the industry. Compared with other energy storage technologies, all-vanadium flow batteries with four core advantages of intrinsic safety, long life, scalability, and low carbon recycling perfectly match the strict operating standards of smart computing centers, and are the most suitable long-term energy storage technology route for computing power scenarios. At the technical level, the power and capacity of all-vanadium flow battery can be decoupled, which can flexibly expand with the scale of computing power to achieve long-term power supply across days. Water electrolyte does not have the risk of explosion, suitable for high-density deployment in the computer room; It has a long cycle life of more than 20,000 times, which can match the complete operation cycle of 15-20 years of the smart computing center. The electrolyte supports a complete recovery cycle, reduces the carbon emissions of the whole life cycle of the project, and supports the low-carbon operation of the computing power business.
Relying on the core advantages of local vanadium resources in Chengde, Xinxin vanadium titanium energy storage has been deeply cultivated in the industry for 20 years, and a complete industrial chain from core materials, reactor equipment to system integration has been built. It has GW level mass production and manufacturing capabilities, and deeply participates in the development of national industry standards. On the basis of the implementation of traditional energy storage projects, enterprises take the lead in developing the track of storage and computing integration, exploring the integration mode of "scenery + long-term energy storage + smart computing center" source, storage and computing, and open up the link of green power conversion, stable supply protection and computing power enabling.
At this conference, Xinxinvanadium Titanium proposed the combination path of flow battery and AIDC intelligent computing center for the first time in the industry. In his speech, Liu Sheng-nan explained the new AIDC energy supply paradigm of "energy storage creates green electricity, and green electricity supports computing power", which changed the traditional mode of "computing power passively finds electricity" in the past and upgraded energy storage to the core energy support of the smart computing center. The landing value of the combination of the two is divided into three directions:
1. Green electricity consumption and time shift: Rely on long-term energy storage of all-vanadium liquid to undertake intermittent power from wind power and photovoltaic, convert unstable daytime green electricity into all-weather stable power supply, increase the proportion of green electricity use in the smart computing center, and meet the requirements of carbon index assessment.
2. Smooth and uninterrupted computing power supply: use flow battery energy storage to smooth the fluctuations of instantaneous high-power power consumption of GPU cluster; When the power supply fails, the output lasts for a long time to prevent computing power interruption and data loss, and fill the power supply gap in the start-up phase of the diesel generator.
3. Reduce the load on the power grid and lower the threshold of computing power landing: for the areas with limited grid capacity, give play to the buffer regulation role of flow battery energy storage, reduce the hard dependence of AIDC project on the large-scale expansion of the power grid, accelerate the construction and production schedule of the smart computing center, and release the potential of the development of computing power industry in the areas rich in wind and solar resources.
The 7th China Flow Battery Energy Storage Conference brings together multiple technology routes in the industry and focuses on the industrialization of long-term energy storage. The new new vanadium titanium energy storage shares the combination mode of flow battery and AIDC, develops a new incremental market of flow battery for computing power storage, and exports landing vanadium storage solutions for the green and low carbon transformation of the domestic smart computing industry.
Standing at the new node of industrial development, with the comprehensive advantages of resources, technology and the whole industrial chain, Chengde Xinxin Vanadium and titanium energy storage has entered the stage of high-quality and large-scale expansion. In the future, the enterprise will continue to overcome the core technology of all-vanadium flow battery, iterate the exclusive energy storage system for AIDC smart computing scenarios and the integrated solution of source, storage and computing, and overcome the key problems of long-term energy storage safety, cost reduction and efficiency increase. At the same time, cross-industry chain cooperation is deepened, the upstream and downstream of computing power, new energy and power grid are jointly involved in the co-construction of industry standards, the commercial operation mode is innovated, and the application boundaries of all-vanadium flow batteries in computing power storage, new energy grid connection, and comprehensive energy services are expanded. The enterprise will take technological innovation as the core, build a solid foundation for domestic long-term energy storage industry, create a safe and efficient computing power energy base, help the low-carbon and high-quality development of AI computing power industry, help the construction of new power system, and promote the domestic long-term energy storage industry to move towards large-scale, high-end and internationalization.
