This competition received a total of 297 entries from over 20 provinces and regions across the country. After formal review, preliminary rounds, and other competition evaluation processes, a total of 101 entries made it to the finals.

New Energy Storage Grid-connected Performance Testing Platform innovatively proposes a strategy and cascade control technology combining virtual impedance and inductance. Based on the full wave Fourier algorithm, a massive data automatic real-time analysis software has been developed, which can quickly and efficiently achieve accurate analysis of massive test data. This product is superior to traditional detection equipment in simulating fault functions, power grid simulation device structure, data analysis capabilities, and other aspects. Its main technical indicators have reached the international leading level. Its application scope includes system debugging, grid performance testing, and operation effect evaluation of energy storage on the grid side, power supply side, and user side. It is suitable for energy storage devices with different technical routes such as cascade, string, and centralized, and can be widely used in lithium battery energy storage, flow battery energy storage, lead-acid battery energy storage, and flywheel energy storage. It covers the grid connection detection requirements of grid following and grid building technologies, as well as other special requirements, and can effectively discover grid connection defects and faults of new energy storage devices, providing a safeguard for the safe grid connection of new energy.

The 35kV Self-Synchronized Voltage Source High Voltage Direct Mounted Energy Storage System pioneered a "building block" system construction method based on standard energy storage sub modules, adopting advanced high-voltage direct hanging energy storage topology architecture, with a maximum single machine capacity exceeding one hundred megawatts, and ensuring stable system operation through redundant module bypass mechanism. Through active safety control of the battery state throughout its lifecycle and multi condition adaptive fast SOC balancing technology, the system cycle efficiency has been improved to over 92%, solving the problem of insufficient utilization of the end of charge and discharge power. The battery capacity utilization rate is greater than 90%. By adopting self synchronous voltage source control technology, autonomous inertia response and wide short-circuit ratio operation are achieved. Through constant internal potential and adaptive virtual admittance transient control technology, the voltage source characteristics are always maintained under current limiting, which not only achieves spontaneous instantaneous support of reactive voltage, but also solves the stability problem of new power system grid connection under "double high" state. The new energy+energy storage joint operation control technology, with high-voltage direct hanging energy storage as the core, realizes black start, islanded load stable operation, and multi machine oscillation stabilization control of new energy stations. Through coordinated control and flexible scheduling of synchronous machine operation characteristics at the site level, it helps new energy sources become the main power source in the new power system as soon as possible.
