At the 2025 SMM Zero Carbon Path - PV and Energy Storage Summit, Halim He from CRRC Zhuzhou Locomotive Research Institute Co., Ltd., discussed the increasing demand for battery energy storage systems in the Middle East. Saudi Arabia and the UAE are leading this trend with significant renewable energy goals. However, challenges such as weak power grid infrastructure, low return on investment, safety issues in extreme environments, and operation and maintenance difficulties hinder the growth of energy storage systems in the region. To tackle these challenges, CRRC introduced solutions like the CESS 4.0 series, offering multi-dimensional protection and full-time battery balancing technology, ensuring efficient performance in various scenarios. Moreover, CRRC provides Q&M capabilities, including digital management and intelligent operation and maintenance services for energy storage stations. These services cover safety management systems and cloud-based platforms, integrating advanced technologies to enhance the safety and efficiency of energy storage operations in the Middle East and beyond.
