Development of Energy Storage Connectors
The development of modern society cannot be separated from various natural resources and the use of resources to promote the progress of human society. However, at the same time, the consumption of resources is also irreversible, so energy conservation and environmental protection are topics of discussion in many countries.
The research and development of new and renewable energy sources, as well as the search for advanced methods to improve energy utilization efficiency, have become a global concern. The energy storage industry has gradually entered the public eye.
Connectors are an important component of the energy storage industry. Its market capacity and product demand have also grown with the development of the energy storage industry, especially in the field of new energy vehicles.
Increased demand for new energy vehicle energy storage
As the core technology of power batteries, the good trend of new energy vehicles has greatly promoted the development of the energy storage industry. The latest data released by the China Automobile Association shows that in August, domestic automobile production and sales reached 1.725 million and 1.799 million, respectively, a year-on-year decrease of 18.7% and 17.8%. As of the end of August, China's automobile production and sales have been declining year-on-year for four consecutive months.
However, there is a significant difference between the sustained downturn in the domestic new energy vehicle market and the overall automotive market. Data shows that the production and sales of new energy vehicles in China completed 309000 and 321000 units respectively in August, a year-on-year increase of 1.8 times. Production and sales set a new record, breaking through 300000 units for the first time.
The rapid growth in sales of new energy vehicles has led to a gradual increase in domestic market penetration. According to CCA data, the cumulative sales penetration rate of new energy vehicles in China increased to nearly 11% from January to August.
In August, the penetration rate of new energy vehicles in China reached 17.8%, and the penetration rate of new energy passenger vehicles was close to 20%. From the current development trend, China is expected to achieve the medium to long-term development plan goal of reaching a penetration rate of 20% in the new energy vehicle market. Efficient energy storage batteries will gradually replace internal combustion engines.
The Healthy Development of The Energy Storage Connector Market
A Clear Cost-reduction Program
The market capacity of energy storage connectors is gradually increasing. Cost issues have become a major issue for connector companies. In recent years, the cost of electrochemical energy storage batteries has gradually decreased, making cost control of installed capacity particularly important.
The energy storage connector is a key component that has been installed and connected. When selecting product indicators, its cost has become the main consideration factor. Reducing product costs and meeting the future energy storage development of energy storage connector companies is a major challenge.
There are two relatively common methods for energy storage connectors: fixed screw connection and buckle connection. As an economical connector design, fixed threaded connections have a lower price and can meet the cost-effectiveness requirements of some customers, but their safety and convenience are relatively poor. In contrast, the safety and reliability advantages of fast plug connections are obvious, but the cost is also relatively high.
The structure of energy storage connectors is simple and the threshold is not high. Many connector companies have this technology, so cost advantages are particularly important when the quality is consistent. For a product, while ensuring performance and quality, the simpler the design, the lower the cost, but the higher the level of embodiment. In addition, improving production efficiency is also a measure to achieve cost reduction.
Faced with cost pressure, to ensure the quality of connectors, it is first necessary to start from the source of product design and improve the structure. The plug of the energy storage connector is designed as an assembly structure, reducing the manufacturing process's demand for tooling accuracy and equipment.
Secondly, it is necessary to minimize the number of key dimensions of related components as much as possible to reduce the difficulty of precision machining of metal parts. And in the connector, achieve self production of key components. The core terminals of connectors are designed to reduce raw material costs and ensure product quality from the source.
Guarantee Product Quality
High quality energy storage connectors should have three main characteristics: safety, reliability, and consistency.
Safety is the primary standard for the quality of critical components. No matter how the industry develops, safety should be the foundation. Otherwise, even the largest industry will face risks. Secondly, the reliability of energy storage connectors is also particularly important. The service life of the energy storage system is approximately 15 years. The energy storage connector is a key component in the entire system. Its lifespan depends on whether the entire energy storage system can ensure safe and effective operation for 15 years.
There are many energy storage batteries inside the energy storage device. Energy storage batteries are connected in series and parallel through energy storage connectors to form high voltage and high current output or storage. As a key component of the transmission, the number of thousands of energy storage connectors and thousands of energy storage connectors that ensure consistency have also become the main considerations for connector company indicators.
Summary
The continuous development of modern society has driven the progress of human society. Our research and development on new and renewable energy is also ongoing. With the gradual growth of market capacity and product demand in the energy storage industry, we will also continue to seek progress in the development of the energy storage industry.
