On October 31, China Tower and 11 major energy vehicle mainstream enterprises signed a strategic cooperation agreement to further promote the pilot application of the ladder battery. As a mobile communication infrastructure service company, why is the China Tower increasingly connected to the ladder battery in the automotive industry? What are the advantages of the trial application of the cascaded battery of China Tower? What are the advantages? Why does the Chinese Tower have to cooperate with new energy auto companies and what impact will it bring? What are the thoughts and considerations for the future use of the China Tower in the use of ladder batteries? Gao Buwen, deputy general manager of China Tower, accepted an exclusive interview with the reporter of Securities Daily.
Gao Buwen said: "China Tower is the world's largest mobile communication infrastructure service provider, with more than 1.9 million base station sites. Each base station needs 24 Uninterrupted power supply for a long time, need to prepare battery for a long time. The company is a major energy consumer and a large battery user. We noticed that with the rapid development of the new energy automobile industry, a large number of power batteries are decommissioned, and these decommissioning powers still have 70 More than 100% of the battery capacity and charge and discharge capacity can be used for base station backup. We have explored, tested and innovated for this, and we have also actively participated and cooperated with relevant companies in the industry chain."
Gao Buwen introduced that China Railway Tower has carried out the test of decommissioning power battery for base station backup since 2015. The test site covers different scenarios such as urban and rural areas, such as high cold, high temperature and high humidity, and different base station types. The test results show that the ladder battery has many advantages such as more charge and discharge times, longer endurance and longer service life than traditional lead-acid batteries. It is technically and economically feasible, which is beneficial to ensure the quality of telecommunication network operation. Conducive to resource conservation and environmental protection, it is conducive to promoting the healthy development of the new energy automobile industry. It has a positive effect on reducing company costs and increasing corporate value.
Gao Buwen stressed that as a major demand for power battery cascade utilization industry, China Tower has long-term stable demand for decommissioned power batteries, and has natural advantages in cascade battery monitoring and management, logistics system and maintenance support. China Tower has a professional maintenance force throughout the country, and has also established a "wireless Internet + Internet of Things" monitoring platform, which can be "visible, manageable, and controllable" for all access devices to ensure the ladder battery Stable operation and safety.
"The relevant national ministries and commissions have also seen our advantages in the use of ladder batteries, and issued the "Notice on Organizing the Pilot Work on Recycling and Utilization of New Energy Vehicles' Power Battery" to support the construction of the power tower cascade utilization demonstration project by China Tower." Gaobuwen said.
For this strategic cooperation agreement with 11 major energy vehicle mainstream enterprises, Gao Buwen said: "The power battery ladder utilization industry chain is very long and closely related to automobile companies. Through signing, we and automobile companies are nationwide. We will connect the service outlets to create a recycling system, and open up recycling channels to reduce costs and increase efficiency. We will also actively cooperate with more power-energy vehicle companies, battery manufacturers and other power battery-related industry participants to promote power batteries. Step-by-step trials and innovative applications to explore the business model of stepped batteries in a variety of scenarios."
Gao Buwen also revealed that China Railway Tower is currently focusing on the test and innovation of base station backup power in the use scenario of power battery ladder utilization. The next step will be to use the ladder battery application through continuous innovation and professional operation. To create a larger power battery ladder utilization and recycling space. China Tower will also simultaneously carry out systematic energy applications combining new energy and ladder batteries in solar and wind energy scenarios, expanding its application range and creating value for the company and society.
