Developed by Professor Zheng Zhifeng's team at Xiamen University's (XMU) College of Energy, in collaboration with Xiamen Kehua Digital Energy Tech Co, Ltd, the Advanced Energy Storage Integration Platform, which is based on a microgrid system foundation, has been in operation for one year.

The platform integrates key technologies including power and energy converter health monitoring, intelligent energy management, multi-scenario charging, and multi-level safety warning systems. It aims to build a distributed smart microgrid that is secure, efficient, flexible, and scalable.

At the platform's core lies the EMS intelligent management system, which optimizes the use of every kilowatt-hour of solar energy. It prioritizes the platform's operational needs and stores surplus or off-peak energy into the storage system for later use.

Addressing diverse charging needs, the platform supports electric vehicles and e-bikes, with reserved interfaces for future connections to electric trucks and drones.

It collects real-time battery data, such as State of Charge (SOC) and State of Health (SOH), to generate diagnostic reports and optimize the algorithm. Its EKF-based SOC prediction model is accurate within two percent, even under complex conditions.

Safety has always been the foundation of the platform's design. The platform features an online insulation fault monitoring system with 15 percent precision and an AI-driven arc detection model that identifies anomalies with over 98 percent accuracy at voltages up to 1,500 volts.

The platform also delivers strong social and economic benefits. Acting as a multi-energy backup and intelligent microgrid, it is able to provide emergency power during grid outages, enhancing community resilience and ensuring reliable electricity for critical infrastructure.
