Hangzhou Qingzhou Technology Co., Ltd. (Hereinafter referred to as "Qingzhou Nengke"), founded in 2016, is a distributed energy storage asset energy Internet operation service provider, based on artificial intelligence and Internet of Things (AIoT) technology platform, providing integrated solutions for operation and maintenance management of energy storage power stations, covering energy management, security, operation and maintenance. The whole process of finance and other operations.
Recently, the company completed tens of millions of yuan of A-round financing, this round of financing by Tiantong shares strategic investment , the source of joint capital as the exclusive financial adviser. This round of financing will be used for product research and development, market expansion and cash flow replenishment.
Since the completion of tens of millions of yuan of Pre-a round financing last year, the performance of Qingzhou Nengke has achieved rapid growth. Ma Xing, founder of Qingzhou Nengke, told 36 Carbon: "The business model of Qingzhou has been verified by the market and has entered the right track of development. In the past year, the turnover has increased by 450% year-on-year."
At the same time, the business direction of Light Boat Energy Branch is also continuing to iterate and evolve. At present, its main business includes industrial and commercial energy storage EMS, energy storage housekeeper and VPP (virtual power plant), and its products and solutions have successfully entered the supply chain of Zhejiang State Grid, Three Gorges Power, Nandu Power Supply, China Tower, Shenghong Electric and other leading enterprises.

Energy Storage EMS is a traditional and emerging subdivision field, which has been applied in power automation and source-side energy storage for a long time. However, in the field of industrial and commercial energy storage, traditional power automation or source-network energy storage EMS can not meet the demand, and the market needs EMS products with lightweight, high efficiency, economy and ease of use.
Qingzhou Nengke has developed a full real-time Internet of Things PaaS platform, Nova platform. This platform can solve the problems of synchronization, transmission, calculation and storage at the bottom of massive data, which not only achieves full data backup and provides more security, but also provides more comprehensive data and more accurate calculation for the algorithm.
Based on this PaaS platform of the Internet of Things, the "light EMS" cloud-edge integrated system of Qingzhou Nengke has complete strategies such as peak shaving and valley filling, load tracking, optical storage collaboration, etc., which can help the energy storage power station to increase its revenue by 5-10% annually and maximize its revenue. At the same time, "light EMS" has both battery diagnosis and early warning algorithm functions, early detection of battery core problems, improve the safety of power plants.
Differentiated products have helped Qingzhou Nengke successfully open up the downstream market. According to the data released by EESA, the installed capacity of energy storage on the domestic user side will increase by 1.27 GWh in 2022. Ma Xing said that the shipments of downstream integrator customers served by Qingzhou in 2022 were about 60 MWh, accounting for about 4.72% of the total market, and the market share in 2023 is expected to reach 10% -15%. On the basis of
EMS business, Qingzhou Nengke has extended its business to the field of intelligent operation and maintenance trusteeship of industrial and commercial energy storage.
It is reported that the energy storage housekeeper business launched by the Light Boat Energy Branch can quickly locate, troubleshoot and eliminate the common faults of the energy storage system, and also support the expert decision-making system, which can achieve professional operation and maintenance more efficiently and cheaply, and ensure the long-term economic operation of the power station.
In the future-oriented virtual power plant business, Qingzhou Nengke has also launched an active exploration. By aggregating distributed dispatchable energy assets to the aggregation platform, Qingzhou Nengke can provide 100% charging and discharging income trusteeship and liquidation for distributed asset investors, and realize income addition through a variety of operation modes. According to reports, up to now, Light Boat Energy Branch has accessed 568 distributed energy storage assets, with a cumulative controllable load of 427.81 MWh.
With the reform of the electricity market and the development of new energy sources, Ma Xing told 36 Carbon that the government may introduce more policies to support the development of virtual power plants in the future, and the market demand for virtual power plants will continue to increase, and the technical level will also be improved. In the future, this market will have great potential. In terms of
team, the R & D team of Qingzhou Nengke not only has the traditional experience of Baidu, Ali and other well-known Internet companies, but also has many years of experience in energy storage information technology research and development and implementation services. It is a compound team with Internet background combined with traditional power experience.
Since the digitalization of energy storage in 2016, Qingzhou Energy Science has gradually refined and precipitated the know-how about power station operation, operation and maintenance and power trading through long-term understanding of energy storage, optical storage and charging, and user load, and has taken the lead in the track of energy storage power station operation and maintenance and virtual power plant.
This year is the first year of domestic industrial and commercial energy storage, and also the year of market outbreak. According to the book "Investing in New Energy Storage", the market capacity of the domestic power generation side is estimated to be about 500 billion yuan, the grid side is about 250 billion yuan, and the market capacity of the user side (that is, industrial and commercial energy storage) is between 5 and 6 trillion yuan. This trillion-level market has just begun. Ma Xing, founder
of Qingzhou, said that the vision and expectation of Qingzhou Nengke is to become a leading enterprise in the field of energy storage, providing efficient, reliable and intelligent energy storage products and hosting services for global users. At the same time, we look forward to establishing long-term and stable cooperative relations with partners and users to jointly promote the development and progress of the energy storage industry.
