New Energy Business:

Solar Farm

Adopting innovative technologies and processes, BYD has drastically reduced the cost of applying solar energy, endowed solar electricity a cost equal to that of coal electricity, accelerated the process of applying solar energy, and posed great and profound significance to the healthy development of the New Energy Business Unit.

Battery Energy Storage Station

Based on its core technology Fe Battery technology, BYD has realized energy storage and formed technology support for intelligent network. Relying on the advanced Fe Battery technology, BYD's battery energy storage station can meet the demands of storing energy, cutting peaks as well as filling valleys, solve storage difficulties in the construction of intelligent network, and provide technical support to intelligent network and smooth power fluctuations of wind, solar and other new energy sources. Meanwhile, BYD's battery energy station has evident advantages in cost and operation life and broad application prospect comparing with pumped storage, compressed-air energy storage, flywheel energy storage and other existing energy storage technologies. Energy efficiency arrives as high as 90percent, far higher than that of pumped storage, which is 60 percent to 70 percent. BYD's battery energy station has prominent economic efficiency, large demands and broad application foreground. Global electricity demand grows year by year; load disparity of electricity peaks and valleys becomes larger and larger. As a new technology, battery energy storage station will bring revolutionary technical changes to grid energy storage field and bring huge social and economic effects.

Electric Vehicle

Electric vehicle has broad developmental foreground in the fields of urban public traffic and individual traffic. On December 15, 2008, BYD F3DM, world's first dual mode electric car independent of specialized charging stations, hit the market in Shenzhen.
