This level of reliability is crucial for the ever-evolving AI industry, where data centers are the backbone of machine learning and artificial intelligence.
Solar-Storage Synergy: Building a Reliable Foundation
At the heart of the 'Sunny 365' solution is a synergy between JinkoSolar's flagship Tiger Neo 3.0 module platform technology and their SunTera Energy Storage System. The AIDC modules are tailored for large-scale solar-storage scenarios, meeting the demanding requirements of data centers, including high loads, round-the-clock operation, extreme weather resistance, stability, and low O&M demands. These modules boast an impressive maximum power output of 680W and a conversion efficiency of 25.17%, ensuring optimal energy generation per square meter of land.
Bifaciality and Low-Irradiance Performance
One of the standout features of JinkoSolar's modules is their exceptional bifaciality, reaching 85% ± 5%. This technology enables the modules to efficiently capture ground and ambient scattered light, maximizing energy generation even in less-than-ideal conditions. Additionally, the modules excel in low-irradiance scenarios, such as cloudy days, rainy weather, and dawn/dusk, ensuring consistent power generation throughout the year.
Safety and Weather Resistance
JinkoSolar's modules are designed with safety and durability in mind. They are certified to both IEC and UL Class A standards, meeting the highest fire safety standards in the photovoltaic industry. The modules can withstand hail impacts up to 55 mm and feature a rear wind load resistance of -5,000 Pa, making them suitable for extreme climatic conditions. Moreover, their low temperature coefficient of -0.26%/°C ensures minimal power loss in high-temperature environments.
SunTera Energy Storage System: A Reliable Power Companion
Jinko Energy Storage's SunTera Energy Storage System is a high-reliability platform designed to support the continuous high-power operation of AIDCs. It offers long-duration energy storage, grid-forming capabilities, and microgrid support, ensuring stable and reliable energy supply. The system's multi-tiered safety protection, including cell management, system safety control, and fire protection, provides comprehensive safeguards throughout its lifecycle.
Grid-Forming and Off-Grid Support
The SunTera system supports grid-forming operation modes, providing voltage and frequency support in weak grid or off-grid scenarios. It also features black start and microgrid operation capabilities, enhancing the resilience of AIDC power supply systems. This level of flexibility ensures that AI data centers can adapt to various energy situations, from grid-connected to off-grid, without compromising on reliability.
800V High-Voltage Direct Current and Energy Storage
As AI data centers evolve towards 800V HVDC power supply architectures, JinkoSolar's AIDC solution leverages the 'High-Voltage Direct Current + Energy Storage' technology trend. By coordinating the energy storage system, power conditioning system (PCS), and energy management system (EMS), the solution achieves rapid power response, grid-forming support, and seamless switching between grid-connected and off-grid modes. This approach enhances power supply continuity and system resilience, meeting the demands of critical computing operations.
Global Dual-Mode Configuration and Full Lifecycle Services
The 'Sunny 365' system offers a global dual-mode configuration, providing both all-weather green power and highly reliable emergency backup power. This adaptability ensures that AI data centers can precisely meet their specific energy requirements. JinkoSolar's commitment to providing one-stop solutions throughout the project lifecycle is evident in their comprehensive services, including tailored design, one-stop warranty, and one-stop service, ensuring rapid project implementation and end-to-end security.
A Step Towards Smart Energy Solutions
JinkoSolar's 'Sunny 365' Smart Solar-Storage System represents a significant advancement in the field of 'photovoltaic + energy storage' applications. By transitioning from an equipment supplier to a provider of scenario-based smart energy solutions, JinkoSolar is paving the way for a more sustainable and efficient future in AI data center energy management.
