The lecture closely centered on the application of energy storage in power grids. It began with major grid blackout incidents worldwide over the past three years to introduce the topic, and then provided a detailed introduction and analysis of why power grids require energy storage, the classification, principles, and evolution of storage technologies, as well as application scenarios, business models, development challenges, and future prospects. The class featured frequent interactions and lively discussions, offering valuable practical cases and professional knowledge for academic exchanges on green energy between China and other countries.

This lecture marked the first external innovative business activity undertaken by the Technology Innovation Center of CGNIE(YN) since its establishment, and also the first time that CGN Energy International has externally provided technical training services. It represented a breakthrough from internal R&D to external empowerment of technological innovation outcomes. The event fully demonstrated the core positioning of the Technology Innovation Center of CGNIE(YN), and highlighted the company’s fundamental mission and industrial value as a light-asset innovation development platform of CGNEI—one that is deeply engaged in clean energy technology innovation and actively explores sustainable, efficient, and low-risk innovative business models.
