Welcome on Board Topband

The European Association for Storage of Energy (EASE) is glad to extend a warm welcome to its newest member, Topband, who joined EASE in 11 June 2024. Mr. Chuntao XU, Renewable Energy General Manager, accepted to discuss with us about the expertise of Topband, in energy storage and expectations from this collaboration with EASE.

EASE: Thank you for accepting this interview. We're delighted to have Topband as a new member. Can you provide an overview of Topband’s activities in the energy storage sector and share some key insights from your company's work in this field?

Thank you for having us! We're equally excited to be part of EASE.

With 28 years of experience, Topband is a global leader in intelligent control solutions. We've honed our "1 Cell, 1 Cloud, 3S (BMS, PCS, EMS)" technologies, which underpin our expansive new energy product lines. Our product line has expanded from single intelligent control products to include high-performance battery cells, comprehensive energy storage solutions, and supporting BMS and EMS systems.

With products reaching global markets, we've established strong collaborations and contributed to key projects worldwide. Our 15 production bases and over 2000 R&D staff highlight our formidable manufacturing and development capabilities.

EASE: We anticipate a fruitful collaboration and value your contributions to our Working Groups and Task Forces. What motivated Topband to join EASE, and what specific areas or initiatives are you most excited about participating in within our association?

Joining EASE is a strategic step for Topband in aligning with leading European energy stakeholders to further the advancement of energy storage technologies. We are particularly enthusiastic about participating in initiatives that focus on integrating renewable energy sources with existing grid systems to create more resilient energy infrastructures.

Our motivation also stems from our desire to contribute to and learn from the collective expertise within EASE. For example, we look forward to international cooperation on the safety and sustainability of batteries. We believe that through collaboration, we can address the critical challenges of energy transition, from regulatory issues to technological innovations.

EASE: Looking ahead, how do you envision energy storage contributing to the ongoing energy transition? What role do you see Topband playing in advancing and shaping the future of energy storage within this context?

Energy storage is pivotal in the transition towards more sustainable energy systems. We envision ourselves as a key player in this transition, particularly through our innovations in battery technology and system integration. We are actively establishing cooperative relationships with domestic and international power companies and new energy enterprises, aiming to jointly promote the global green energy transition with industry leaders. Our Romanian facility, with a total planned area of 25,000 m², began mass production in 2023, employing over 1,500 staff, 95% of whom are local.

Topband aims to accelerate its presence in the European market through resource sharing and collaboration opportunities. By enhancing our brand influence, we aim to jointly drive the innovation and application of energy storage technologies with leading industry players.
