Chinese battery manufacturer Gotion High-Tech has announced that its first Gotion Grid Gen2 high-voltage cascade energy storage system, with a capacity of 5 MW/18.8 MWh in one cabin, has passed a scientific and technological performance assessment and has been awarded the title of ‘international leading’.
High-voltage cascade energy storage is a modular battery architecture in which multiple battery inverter units are connected in series to jointly achieve grid-level voltages, allowing direct connection to medium or high-voltage networks without the need for a large central transformer.
Gotion’s new utility-scale system is described as a “three-phase, single-cab” grid-forming architecture, meaning all three electrical phases used in standard AC systems are integrated into a single enclosure that houses the batteries, inverters and control systems. The system operates in grid-forming mode and can actively detect and regulate voltage and frequency, rather than simply following the grid.
The platform includes phase-to-phase temperature control and balanced management technologies, achieving an energy efficiency of 92.1%. It is also equipped with an AI-driven intelligent operations and maintenance (O&M) platform that enables automated, proactive asset management and enhanced safety protection.
