On the afternoon of November 5, the AI Innovation Empowers New Energy Storage Scenarios Salon was held at the Zhongguancun (Haidian) AI Digital Energy Industrial Park.
Guided by the Zhongguancun Science City Administrative Committee, the event was jointly hosted by the China Energy Storage Alliance (CNESA), Zhongguancun (Haidian) AI Digital Energy Industrial Park and Zhongguancun Cloud Computing Industry Alliance (CCIA). Under the theme Digital-Intelligence Integrates with Energy Storage · Smartly Usher in a New Frontier, the salon focused on the integrated deployment of AI technologies in energy scenarios. It gathered representatives from AI large model firms, cloud computing players, research institutes and leading energy storage enterprises for in-depth discussions on AI-enabled innovation in power and energy scenarios, technological exploration, benchmark use cases and business models. The event facilitated technical exchanges, idea sharing, precise matching of supply and demand across the industrial chain, and collaborative innovation. More than 60 delegates from AI large model, cloud computing, research and energy storage enterprises attended the salon.
In the opening session, the Zhongguancun (Haidian) AI Digital Energy Industrial Park delivered a keynote presentation titled Source of Innovation: Building a New Aggregated Tech Industrial Ecosystem — Sharing on Haikai Holdings’ Industrial Layout and Ecosystem Value. The presentation covered Haikai Holdings’ industrial deployment, the park’s industrial ecosystem and the background of this salon.
During the keynote segment, Zhang Qing, Expert of CSG New Power System (Beijing) Research Institute Co., Ltd.; Yan Yufan, Architect of Hangzhou Eagle Cloud Technology Co., Ltd.; Liu Ming, Chief Algorithm Engineer of ZTE Digital Energy; Zhao Cong, Senior Solution Manager of CLOU Energy Storage, Midea Group; and Shang Wenxiao, Technical Lead of TELD Beijing Branch, gave presentations in sequence. They explored topics including AI practices within new power systems, security governance frameworks for AI Agents in power and energy systems, AI applications for commercial & industrial energy storage, AIDC compute-power coordination energy storage solutions, and how AI boosts efficiency for integrated PV-storage-charging-discharging scenarios.
In the panel discussion, participating guests exchanged views thoroughly on the deployment forms and application progress of power large models, joint overseas expansion by domestic enterprises for the global compute-power coordination market, rollout and cybersecurity risk management of large language models in the power sector, and the balance between component technical performance and cost requirements for energy storage applications.

Rooted in Haidian’s industrial ecosystem for AI and digital energy, the event took AI-enabled energy storage as its main thread. It targeted frontline pain points across new power systems, C&I energy storage, AIDC compute-power coordination, PV-storage-charge-discharge integration and AI security governance. It broke down barriers between artificial intelligence and the energy storage industry, linking grid operators, equipment vendors, system integrators, asset operators and capital providers to drive full-lifecycle value for energy storage via digital and intelligent technologies.
The China Energy Storage Alliance (CNESA) will continue to serve as an industrial platform hub, building cross-border cooperation channels connecting AI and energy storage, pooling resources from industry, academia, research and end users, and supporting the commercialization and high-quality growth of the AI + energy storage industry.
The 15th Energy Storage International Conference and Expo (ESIE 2027), co-hosted by the China Energy Storage Alliance (CNESA), China Energy Research Society (CERS) and the Institute of Engineering Thermophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IET, CAS), will take place from March 16 to 19, 2027, at the Capital International Exhibition & Convention Center in Beijing.
For the first time, ESIE 2027 will launch a dedicated AIDC Compute-Power Coordination Exhibition Zone, showcasing cutting-edge technologies and products including high-rate energy storage for BBU, Solid-State Transformers (SST), HVDC, immersion liquid cooling, cold-plate liquid cooling, direct green power supply, generation-grid-load-storage integration, and coordinated dispatch systems for computing and energy storage. It will also feature themed forums, new product launches and supply-demand matching sessions. Bringing together core buyers including the three major telecom operators, cloud vendors and IDC operators, the expo will continue to serve as a cross-industry platform for computing infrastructure and energy storage, advancing the high-quality development of the energy storage sector.
