Jinko ESS, a global leader in photovoltaic and energy storage, has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Thai power company TPIPP and EPC company UTI, officially signing a 25 MWh energy storage system supply agreement. The project will deploy five sets of Jinko Blue Whale 5 MWh SunTera G2 liquid-cooled energy storage products.

The SunTera G2 liquid-cooled energy storage system adopted for this project features three core technologies:

1. Precision temperature control technology: through non-uniform flow channel design and intelligent temperature control, the temperature difference within the pack is controlled to within ±2°C, auxiliary power consumption is reduced by 15%, cycle life exceeds 8,000 cycles, and round-trip efficiency reaches 94%.

2. Five-dimensional safety system: comprehensive protection from five levels – cell, module, pack, rack and system – supporting early warning for abnormal cells, equipped with cell aerogel, CCS component protection plates, cabinet explosion-proof valves, cluster-level temperature control detection, fire suppression gas and backup water spray, among other technical supports.

3. Intelligent energy efficiency management: adopting full-stack self-developed BMS/OPS/EMS, with bidirectional 24h active balancing, increasing discharge capacity by 8%. In Thailand, the peak-to-valley electricity price difference can reach up to approximately 3.4 Thai baht (about RMB 0.7 yuan), and deploying energy storage can effectively improve the overall investment return of the project.

Cooperation outlook

The Vice President of Business Operations at TPIPP emphasised at the signing ceremony: “The safety of the energy storage system, its charge-discharge performance and after-sales service are our core concerns. Based on years of successful cooperation with Jinko ESS in the field of PV modules, we fully believe that its outstanding product quality and end-to-end service system will be fully replicated in the energy storage business segment, providing reliable support for the construction of new power systems.”

The Chief Executive Officer of UTI Energy said: “We chose Jinko ESS not only because of its industry strength as the world’s top PV module shipper for five consecutive years, but also because we value its capability to provide one-stop PV-plus-storage energy solutions. This technological synergy based on full-scenario clean energy applications can reduce costs and improve efficiency for the overall project.”

This cooperation not only demonstrates Jinko ESS’s strategic transformation from a ‘single champion in PV’ to an ‘all-round player in PV and storage’, but also provides a replicable integrated PV-storage solution for the Thai market.
