Suqian Times Energy Storage Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Suqian Times Energy Storage") stood out with its "Frequency Modulation System for Water-based Organic Flow Batteries in Fujian Luoyuan Power Plant" and successfully won the third prize in the competition, demonstrating the company's technical strength and innovative breakthroughs in the field of thermal energy storage and frequency modulation.

At the opening ceremony, Zhao Yong, Vice President of Xi'an Thermal Power Research Institute, took the lead in delivering a welcome speech, detailing the institute's research layout and engineering practice achievements in the field of energy storage and frequency modulation, thus establishing a good platform for professional exchanges for the competition.
Zhang Zhaohua, Director of the Industrial Development Promotion Center of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, emphasized in his speech that thermal storage frequency modulation is a key means to enhance the regulation capacity of the power system and ensure the consumption of new energy. This competition serves as an important carrier for promoting technological breakthroughs, transforming research achievements, and building an industrial ecosystem.
Jiao Jiayang, Deputy Director of the Achievements Division of the Science and Technology Department of Huaneng Group, added from the perspective of an energy group that promoting the development of thermal storage frequency modulation technology towards large-scale and cost-effective applications holds profound significance for enhancing the flexibility of traditional power sources and ensuring the safe and stable operation of power grids.
The "Demonstration Project of Combined Frequency Modulation of Water-based Organic Flow Battery and Thermal Storage in Fujian Luoyuan Power Plant" won the award for Suqian Times Energy Storage. It was officially completed and put into operation in December 2024. It is not only an outstanding achievement in this competition, but also the first domestic project of flow battery energy storage coupled with thermal power AGC frequency modulation.
This project innovatively integrates water-based organic flow batteries with thermal power units to collaboratively respond to grid frequency modulation demands, effectively enhancing the frequency modulation performance and regulation efficiency of the units. It provides a new paradigm for the integrated application of traditional thermal power and new energy storage technologies.

To achieve this technological breakthrough, the project team conducted in-depth research on the AGC frequency modulation technology for thermal power units assisted by water-based organic flow battery energy storage. They systematically tested the key performance parameters of frequency modulation flow batteries, specifically designed a collaborative frequency modulation control strategy for flow batteries and units, and ultimately formed a mature and reliable coupling control scheme.
Relying on the thermal-storage joint frequency modulation system of Huaneng Luoyuan Power Plant, the project has completed comprehensive on-site verification. The actual operation data fully demonstrates that the water-based organic flow battery energy storage has a significant effect on assisting the AGC frequency modulation of thermal power units. This not only verifies the feasibility of this technical route, but also provides valuable theoretical support and practical experience for technological innovation in the field of thermal-storage frequency modulation, laying a solid foundation for subsequent large-scale promotion and application.
This award not only represents the industry's high recognition of Suqian Times' innovation capability in energy storage technology, but also confirms the broad application prospects of flow battery technology in the field of thermal storage frequency modulation. In the future, Suqian Times Energy Storage will take this opportunity to continue to focus on the research and development iteration and achievement transformation of energy storage technology, and constantly explore the innovative path of integration between new energy storage and traditional power sources. This will inject more momentum into enhancing the flexibility of the power system, facilitating the consumption of new energy, and ensuring the safe and stable operation of the power grid, thereby contributing solid strength to the high-quality transformation of China's energy industry and the achievement of the "dual carbon" goals.
