SVOLT Energy presented its full-scenario energy storage portfolio for AI data centers at the 2026 SMM Solar and Energy Storage Industry Conference in Suzhou on August 13. General Manager Gao Chunpeng delivered a keynote titled "Lamination: Opening the AI Storage 'Core' Era" and joined a roundtable on value chain reshaping in the solar-storage industry.
SVOLT highlighted two core products for AIDC applications: 90Ah and 102Ah high-power cells designed for AIDC use, and 5.16MWh and 6.29MWh short-blade liquid-cooled battery cabins. The company offers an end-to-end answer from cell to system.
Lamination as Foundation, AIDC as Focus
As China's unified power market accelerates and renewable generation enters market trading, the solar-storage industry is shifting from scale expansion to value creation. Installed capacity is no longer the only benchmark. The ability to solve grid consumption problems and deliver measurable economic returns has become the key competitive dimension.
SVOLT is targeting AIDC scenarios. Gao said global computing expansion is driving upgrades to AIDC power infrastructure, with China and the United States expected to account for about 70 percent of new global AIDC demand. He outlined three shifts in power supply architecture: a simplified link from AC UPS to 800V DC; deeper storage coupling from equipment-room level down to CPU level, requiring rapid response to computing load swings; and an expanded role from simple backup power to instantaneous response and power smoothing.
Lithium batteries are moving from single-purpose backup to full-chain coverage, including direct green power supply on the generation side, on-site storage on the distribution side, and minute-level backup on the consumption side.
90Ah and 102Ah Cells with 10C and 6C Continuous Discharge
At the cell level, the 90Ah and 102Ah LFP-based cells deliver 10C and 6C continuous discharge with volumetric energy densities of 312Wh/L and 287Wh/L respectively. Four technical breakthroughs — nano high-rate lithium iron phosphate, a multi-tab low-impedance structure, low-impedance graphite anodes, and optimized solvents with low-impedance SEI films — address the industry pain point of balancing high power and long cycle life.
5.16 and 6.29MWh Liquid-Cooled Cabins with Short-Blade Cells
At the system level, the 5.16MWh and 6.29MWh short-blade liquid-cooled battery cabins use 350Ah short-blade laminated cells and dual-sided liquid cooling to control heat accumulation during high-power operation. The design separates fire and electrical zones and uses independent directional exhaust to isolate high-temperature, high-pressure gases from electrical spaces. The upgraded CTR2.0 design uses a sandwich structure, improving volume utilization by another 10 percent and direct material utilization by 10 percent.
Shanghai Data Center Project Passes 10,000 Hours
In 2024, SVOLT completed an 8.5MW and 16.5MWh on-site storage project at a data center in Pudong, Shanghai. The project has operated stably for more than 10,000 hours to date. It uses a source-grid-load-storage integrated architecture and applies peak-valley arbitrage, peak shaving, and demand response to achieve coordinated operation among grid, storage, and computing. The project helps the customer reach an 80 percent green power ratio and significantly lower overall energy costs.
Storage Moves from Cost Item to Revenue Asset
In the roundtable, Gao discussed industry change with upstream and downstream companies. As power market trading expands, storage is shifting from a cost item to an asset that can participate in markets and generate returns. SVOLT is using continuous technology iteration to maximize the full lifecycle value of cells and to meet the greater flexibility demands of the power system during the 15th Five-Year Plan period. He stressed that core competitiveness is no longer production capacity, but the ability to provide reliable, cost-effective system solutions.
Going forward, SVOLT said it will continue to use lamination technology as a foundation, pursue optimal lifecycle value for storage in AIDC and other scenarios, and work with partners to embrace the next phase of the solar-storage industry.
