Jiuhua Thornton's revelation: make the battery smarter

Under the national policy and market two-wheel drive, the power battery industry is transitioning from the introduction period to the high-speed development period, and the competition among enterprises is becoming more and more fierce. Thornton New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter called Thornton) relies on technological innovation and comprehensive The competitiveness is getting stronger and stronger, and the industrial layout is getting wider and wider. What enlightenment does Thornton's development give us?

Thornton Phase III was put into operation in August

Not far from the second phase of the Thornton plant, the Sandton III project is being implemented intensively, with excavators working back and forth on the open space, while designers are on the spot. It is understood that the third phase of the Thornton project is expected to be completed and put into operation in August this year, with a capacity of 4GWh (electric power unit, million kWh), which will double the production capacity of the enterprise. By then, the total production capacity of the first, second and third phases of the Thornton project will be around 8GWh.

At the same time, in the Thornton enterprise, the lithium iron phosphate battery project is also under construction, and the steel material structure plant has been basically completed, and the workers are stepping up the exterior decoration. It is understood that Thornton's 160Wh/kg lithium iron phosphate battery and 230Wh/kg ternary battery can achieve mass production this year, which can be much higher than the “high line” requirement in the state subsidy New Deal, so many car companies are obtained. The approval, the order should not be overwhelmed.

The development is gratifying and closely related to the technical layout. The person in charge of Thornton said that the technical indicators of the company's products not only meet the requirements of the country, but also lead the market development, so that the enterprise can be invincible.

When the battery is connected to the cloud platform

It is understood that Thornton has built a closed industrial chain from raw material production to recycling of used batteries, which is one of the magic weapons for enterprises to win. The staff told us that each of Thornton's lithium batteries has a unique identity. If there is a problem with the battery, the technicians can realize the “thousands of consultations” through the battery cloud platform, so as to quickly find out the problem of the battery and serve the downstream enterprises. At the same time, after the battery is scrapped, the technicians can also locate through the cloud platform to realize battery recycling. Through the country's unique renewable resource recovery system and trading system, Thornton service points are widely covered nationwide.

The person in charge of Thornton said that on the basis of ensuring safety, power battery companies are faced with a “tough battle” to improve the energy density of products. As a technology-leading company, Thornton has built a strong technical team and has already put into production the power battery products with industry-leading technical indicators such as safety, circulation and energy density. This year, Thornton's 230Wh/kg ternary battery and 160Wh/kg lithium iron phosphate battery can also be mass-produced. Thornton can not only complete the national target of achieving 350Wh/kg of power battery energy density by 2020, but also exceed the target of 400Wh/kg and strive to achieve industrialization.

At present, in addition to improving the energy density of ternary batteries and lithium iron phosphate batteries, Thornton is also storing next-generation power battery technologies such as solid-state batteries and lithium-sulfur batteries.

Thornton's new layout

As one of the landmark enterprises in Xiangtan Economic Development Zone, Thornton's future development has attracted the attention of many people. "This year will also set up a research institute, and set up a sales company, an auto finance leasing company, etc." The person in charge of Thornton said that the current production capacity of the vehicle is in a surplus state, technology and sales are the core, so Thornton will focus on future development. Starting from this "both ends".

According to the chairman of Thornton New Energy, at present, in addition to vigorously developing the power battery business, their companies have also spent a lot of effort to build energy storage plates, and develop energy-saving batteries and batteries with low cost, high cycle times and moderate energy density. Targeting energy storage markets such as large-scale energy storage power plants, parks, buildings, factories, etc. Since last year, their company has started small energy storage projects; in the long run, future energy storage will provide huge market development space for lithium batteries, but storage Competition can be more intense than the new energy vehicle market. Therefore, Thornton is doing the energy storage layout, and based on the gradual introduction of the national support policy, prepare in advance.
