On April 28th, parts of Spain, Portugal, and France were hit by a rare large-scale power outage that lasted nearly 10 hours, affecting over 50 million people on the Iberian Peninsula.
During this period, key sectors such as transportation, communications, and medical services in the blackout areas were once paralyzed, causing large-scale chaos. The Spanish Ministry of the Interior declared a state of emergency in five regions.
Faced with such a predicament, whether it is about the lifeline for enterprises to maintain production or the sense of security for families to ensure electricity supply, industrial and commercial ESS(Energy Storage System) and household ESS are undoubtedly powerful weapons to deal with such power outage crises.
Core Solution 1 – Industrial and Commercial ESS
Industrial production often has extremely high requirements for the continuity and stability of electricity supply. Even a brief power outage may cause production lines to shut down, resulting in huge economic losses.
A real case showing how industrial and commercial ESS "breaks" the power outage dilemma:
During the April 28 large-scale power outage in Spain, a Spanish food processing plant adopted a 100kW/215kWh industrial and commercial liquid cooling energy storage all-in-one machine. During the grid paralysis, it maintained the operation of key production lines for 8 hours, avoiding order breaches and equipment restart costs caused by work stoppages, and reducing direct economic losses by approximately 23,000 euros. In addition, the system quickly reconnected to the power grid after the outage, helping the factory resume full production within 15 minutes of power supply restoration, further reducing indirect losses.
The industrial and commercial energy storage systems of CECC can start up without external power supply, ensuring the continuous operation of production equipment and avoiding problems such as equipment damage and product scrapping caused by power outages. In addition, they are applicable to various scenarios including peak shaving and valley filling, high-power power grid expansion, factory backup power, industrial and commercial power guarantee, emergency power supply, and AC charging pile expansion. Moreover, CECC provides customized solutions tailored to the electricity needs of different industrial and commercial scenarios, with rapid response and precise adjustment, which can better ensure the stability of enterprises' power supply.
"Breaking" the Power Outage Dilemma: Core Solution 2 – Smart Residential Energy Storage Systems
In the face of sudden situations such as public incidents and natural disasters that cause interruptions in external energy supply, every household must have an independent energy supply to maintain basic living needs.
A real case showing how smart residential energy storage systems build a "safe haven" for household emergency electricity use:
During the April 28 large-scale power outage in Spain, many Spanish households maintained basic electricity use through household photovoltaic + energy storage systems. For example, a family in the suburbs of Madrid installed a residential energy storage system with a capacity of 13.5kWh. During the power outage, combined with rooftop photovoltaic panels, it provided continuous 3-day power support for key loads such as refrigerators, lighting, and medical equipment, avoiding the risks of food spoilage and medical service interruption caused by the outage. It is estimated that the family saved approximately 300 euros in additional expenses through the energy storage system (including the cost of fuel for emergency generators, food loss, and medical service fees).
The smart residential energy storage systems of CECC can be used in conjunction with renewable energy equipment such as solar panels. CECC supports customized installation for all scenarios, and can be flexibly adapted to both balconies and courtyards. Relying on advanced intelligent AI algorithms, CECC accurately analyze household electricity usage habits, tailor daily electricity usage plans, automatically store electricity during off-peak tariff periods and discharge during peak periods, thus easily reducing household expenses. Equipped with an exclusive mobile app, the electricity usage, energy storage status and electricity expenses are clearly visible at a glance. In the face of sudden events such as power outages, the smart residential energy storage system will instantly switch to backup mode, automatically providing continuous power for common electrical appliances such as lighting, refrigerators, TVs and electric cookers, ensuring an orderly family life and safeguarding every bit of ease and peace of mind in life.
CECC is the first choice for renewable energy storage. From industrial and commercial energy storage to “smart energy butlers”for families, the multi-level and multi-scenario energy storage matrix builds a new type of power security network, allowing every kilowatt-hour of electricity to flow freely in the dimension of time and space, and preventing large-scale power outage accidents like those in Spain and other places from happening again.
