"China's first" electric ship power battery system project is officially put into production!

This opening ceremony also held the certificate awarding ceremony between Anyikong and major international classification societies, and the strategic cooperation signing ceremony with Yiwei Lithium Energy.

The first company in China to obtain DNV certification for LFP batteries

Data shows that the full name of Anyikong is Shenzhen Anyik Kontron Technology Co., Ltd., established in 2018, is a provider of new energy ship power batteries and high-security energy storage system integration solutions, aiming to provide key power systems for the low-carbon transformation of the global shipping industry. Anyikong Zhuhai, the implementation entity of the above-mentioned projects, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Anyikong.

At the same time, Anyikong is also the first company in China to obtain DNV certification from the international classification society for its lithium iron phosphate batteries, bringing lithium iron phosphate batteries into the international large ship market. Later, it also successively passed certifications such as LR, BV, RINA, CRS, and European inland waterway shipping.

With the Zhuhai base put into production this time, Anyikong said that it will greatly enhance the confidence of international customers in long-term and stable cooperation with Anyikon. Anyikong will also successively provide DNV, LR, BV, ABS, The product certification standards of major international and domestic classification societies such as CCS continue to expand global applications in the field of new marine energy.

Weike.com Lithium Battery noticed that in February this year, Anyikong completed a Series A financing of 40 million yuan, and the investor was Yingfutek Venture Capital Fund. It is reported that this round of funds will be mainly used to establish the company’s supply chain.

According to previous interviews with the person in charge of Anyikong, in addition to the construction of the Zhuhai factory mentioned above, this year Anyikong will also plan to design and develop battery systems with ternary or other new battery cells. Based on the strategy of paying equal attention to the international and domestic markets, by 2030, Anyikong Power hopes to occupy 50% of the global large ship market and achieve a total order volume of over 2GWh.

Therefore, in addition to developing battery systems for lithium-ion cells, Anyikong has also proactively laid out the application of sodium-ion batteries.

On July 10, Anyikong signed a "Strategic Cooperation Agreement" with Hunan Cube New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. The two parties aim to jointly build the first domestic and international sodium-ion battery-powered ship and complete the type certification of domestic classification societies (CCS) and internationally renowned classification societies.They will make full use of their respective resources to jointly promote cooperation in the field of sodium-ion battery ship power batteries.

Yiwei Lithium Energy made a strong assist

As for Yiwei Lithium Energy, which joined hands this time, it is as far as An Yikong is concerned. , not just a simple role of lithium battery supplier. The reason is that among domestic power battery companies, Yiwei Lithium Energy has the earliest layout for electric ships.

As early as 2016, Yiwei Lithium Energy’s marine power battery obtained China Classification Society (CCS) certification. On June 28, 2019, EVE Lithium Energy won the world’s first batch of 5,000-ton new energy bulk carriers (Diamond 5K series) project, and before that, the total installed capacity of EVE Lithium Energy’s marine batteries had exceeded 30MWh. , with an installed capacity of more than 100 ships.

Subsequently, iconic electric ships such as the "Junlv", "Blue Dolphin Cruise" and "Kuokuozhen Princess" were all provided with lithium iron phosphate batteries by Yiwei Lithium Energy.

It can be seen that Yiwei Lithium Energy’s mature and rich experience in electric ship projects and strong battery strength will strengthen resource sharing and complementary advantages in ship power with Anyikong. Jointly promote the green and high-quality development of global shipping.

　The electric ship market has promising prospects

With the development trend of economic globalization and the new requirements for the development of my country’s energy industry, Energy conservation and emission reduction are the general trend, and environmental protection and low-carbon policies for shipping are also continuing to evolve. Coupled with market demand and strong policy support, analysts believe that the electrification of China's inland river scenes is on the eve of rapid growth.

According to the "White Paper on the Development of China's Electric Ship Industry (2022)" released by the research organization EVTank, it is estimated that in 2026, driven by the electrification transformation of original ships and new electric ships, China's electric The market size of ships will reach 36.75 billion yuan, which will drive the demand for lithium-ion batteries to 11.2GWh. At the same time, the addition of energy storage integrated facilities in future shore power construction will also greatly drive the demand for lithium-ion batteries. By then, the demand for lithium batteries in the field of ship electrification will greatly exceed expectations.

Based on this background, power battery companies have entered this blue ocean market one after another. However, marine power lithium batteries and battery management systems must obtain a China Classification Society (CCS) type approval certificate before being shipped.

According to CCS information, CCS has currently provided services to CATL, China New Aviation, Yiwei Lithium Energy, Guoxuan Hi-Tech, Sunwoda, Penghui Power, Ganfeng Lithium, Chuneng New Energy, and Xingying Technology Dozens of companies, including Lishen Battery, Lishen Battery, and Jiabaisi, have issued type approval certificates for lithium battery-related products, covering cells, modules, BMS, and battery packs.

In addition to the earliest layout of Yiwei Lithium Energy, the layout of CATL is also earlier. It is the first company in China to pass the CCS latest inspection guide "Inspection Guidelines for Pure Battery Powered Ships" certification (including battery-powered ships). cells, battery packs, battery management systems). Since 2018, electric ships such as "Minjiang Star", "Haixun 12909", "Guanyu", "Deep Sea 01", "Greater Bay Area No. 1", "Sun Yat-sen University" and "Yangtze Three Gorges No. 1" have all been equipped with Ningde Times Square lithium iron phosphate battery.

At the end of 2022, CATL also registered and established a wholly-owned subsidiary, CATL Electric Boat Technology Co., Ltd., whose main business is marine power battery system-related technology, product development and application.

The subsidiary of Guoxuan Hi-Tech won the first batch of orders for 3 sets of ship power lithium iron phosphate battery systems in 2020. Qinhuangdao, Hebei launched a hybrid recreational fishing boat, which was also powered by Guoxuan Hi-Tech. Matching.

China Innovation Aviation’s lithium iron phosphate battery is used in China’s first pure electric offshore catamaran officially released this year - Far East 42C new energy catamaran. At the same time, the zero-carbon ship energy storage power system designed and developed by China New Navigation passed the DNV certification, becoming the first domestic ship battery system product independently designed by a Chinese team to obtain DNV certification.

The electric ship market is vast and is in a stage of rapid development, but it cannot be ignored that, like the charging facilities for new energy vehicles, the charging facilities for electric ships are not yet complete enough, which is not conducive to large-scale development. Large-scale commercial promotion and application.
