Application Scenarios
1. Without-Grid Scenario
SOLAR + BATTERY + GEN
Pain points:
- Generators require long operating times, resulting in high fuel costs.
- Frequent start-stop cycles of the generator result in high failure rates and maintenance costs.
- Low operating efficiency and poor energy utilization.
- PV power generation is highly intermittent and difficult to provide a stable power supply.
TES solution & Operation Logic:
Uses an energy storage system as the core regulating unit. With ample sunlight, PV prioritizes supplying load, excess charges battery. When generator is running, it supplies load and quickly charges battery in high-efficiency range. Low battery triggers generator restart.
Achieved Effect: Significantly reduce generator operating time, increase PV proportion, reduce fuel costs and maintenance intensity.
2. With-Grid Scenario
POOR GRID + GEN + PV + BATTERY
Pain points:
- Unstable grid power.
- The generator starts frequently and operates in low efficiency.
- PV power generation is unstable and difficult to directly participate.
- Multiple energy sources coexist, system coordination is complex.
TES solution & Operation Logic:
Prioritizes grid power and incorporates PV as auxiliary. In normal grid, both supply load and charge battery. In case of grid fluctuations, TES system takes priority. Low battery and no grid power will start the generator.
Achieved Effect: Reduce the impact of short-term power outages, reduce generator start-up frequency, improve PV availability and overall energy efficiency.
3. Solar + Batt Scenario
SOLAR + BATTERY
Pain points:
- In areas without grid power, power supply options are limited.
- PV power supply is unstable, with high risks at night/cloudy days.
- Communication equipment has high requirements for continuous supply.
- Operational resources are limited.
TES solution & Operation Logic:
Achieves a stable match between PV power generation and communication loads. Ample sunlight prioritizes load/charging. Insufficient lighting or night time, TES provides continuous power. System automatically adjusts output based on state of charge.
Achieved Effect: Achieving continuous power supply without generators, improve PV utilization/stability, reduce operating noise and maintenance complexity.

EMS System: A Localized “Smart Brain”
EMS is primarily responsible for real-time scheduling and optimization within the device and local microgrids.
- Multi-energy complementary scheduling: Calculates optimal allocation in milliseconds. Automatically shuts down diesel genset and charges batteries when sunlight is sufficient, maximizing fuel savings (up to 60% or more).
- Load forecasting and intelligent peak shaving: By using AI algorithms to predict load fluctuations, it schedules battery capacity expansion or peak shaving to prevent instantaneous overload of the genset.
- Black start control: In the event of off-grid or grid failure, EMS coordinates the energy storage system to guide the smooth start-up of the unit for critical facilities (such as data centers, base stations).

How do hybrid power solutions reduce carbon emissions?
- Energy Structure Optimization: Deploy 23% efficient mono-Si PV panels. In an Australian project, PV covered 50% of demand and cut 20t diesel per year. Pair 0.5C LFP battery packs (8000 cycle life) with PV to bring the genset runtime to zero.
- Improving Energy Efficiency: Upgrading traditional DC 48V power input to a DC 300V high-voltage input reduces line losses by 70%. It adapts to high power consumption requirements of 5G base stations (3 times higher than 4G), saving over 13,000 kWh per site annually, indirectly reducing carbon emissions.
- Clean Energy Alternatives: Intelligent algorithms reduce genset runtime by more than 80%. Using an 1800RPM engine, with the same displacement, it increases power output by 20%, lowering configuration costs, and reducing maintenance costs by over 15%. The optional Powerlink LPG genset trims CO2 by more than 60% compared to diesel gensets.
