New Member | Boding Energy Storage: Delivering the World's First 100 MW-Class All-Flywheel Standalone Frequency-Regulation Storage Plant

Recently, Boding Energy Storage Technology (Shandong) Co., Ltd. (“Boding Energy Storage” for short) completed its membership procedures and officially became a member of the China Energy Storage Alliance (CNESA).

Groundbreaking in Yueyang: Boding Energy Storage Accelerates Its Industrial Deployment

On August 18, 2026, the Boding Yueyang Flywheel Energy Storage Standalone Frequency-Regulation Station (Phase I) officially broke ground. The project adopts all-magnetic-suspension flywheel single-unit cluster technology, featuring fast response, long service life, safety and environmental friendliness. As a key pilot for the diversified and large-scale development of new energy storage in Hunan Province, it marks another major step in Boding Energy Storage's industrial deployment.

In July 2025, the world's first 100 MW-class all-flywheel standalone energy storage frequency-regulation station — the Rushan 100 MW Project — was officially grid-connected. From the Rushan grid connection to the Yueyang groundbreaking, Boding Energy Storage is accelerating with solid industrialization capabilities.

Company Profile

Boding Energy Storage Technology (Shandong) Co., Ltd. is affiliated with Boding Group. Founded in May 2021 with a registered capital of RMB 50 million and headquartered in the Weifang High-tech Zone, Shandong, it is a high-tech enterprise specializing in the R&D and production of new energy storage systems, deeply rooted in the vacuum magnetic-suspension flywheel energy storage track. Leveraging its self-developed core technologies such as magnetic-suspension control and variable-frequency control, the company has industrialized a series of flywheel energy storage products. It mainly offers vacuum magnetic-suspension flywheel energy storage systems of various power ratings and capacities, widely applicable in power, rail transit, petroleum, data centers and other fields.

Backed by Group Strength

Shandong Boding Technology Group Co., Ltd. was founded in 2015. Rooted in core technologies in mechanics, electronics, hydraulics and magnetics, the group is committed to the domestic substitution of core components. It has successively been recognized as a National High-tech Enterprise, a specialized and sophisticated “Little Giant” enterprise, a gazelle enterprise, a National IP Demonstration Enterprise, a strategic enterprise of the National Industrial Foundation Reinforcement (“Strong Foundation”) Program, and a Shandong provincial unicorn enterprise. Its business covers vehicle and marine power, agricultural machinery, construction machinery, aerospace and defense, magnetic-suspension power and new energy storage, among other fields.

The group has built a full-life-cycle business ecosystem spanning “technology R&D — core component manufacturing — complete machine integration — system platform”, with:

1. Nine national high-tech enterprises, five specialized and sophisticated “Little Giant” enterprises and two unicorn enterprises

2. A total of 907 independent IP rights (including 281 invention patents, 27 PCT international patents and 85 software copyrights)

3. Lead drafter of 12 national and industry standards, with 12 R&D platforms at or above the provincial and municipal level

4. In-depth industry-university-research cooperation with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Tsinghua University, North China Electric Power University and other research institutes

Advanced Technology

Boding Energy Storage is one of the few new energy storage companies in China to master all six core technologies — special-material flywheel design, high-speed magnetic-suspension active control, high-speed variable-frequency control, PCS rectification and inversion control, AGC systems and EMS energy management.

Building on these core technologies, the company possesses full industrial chain capabilities spanning equipment R&D, production, system integration, and power station planning, construction and even operation and maintenance. With millisecond-level response and a cycle life of over one million cycles, its vacuum magnetic-suspension flywheel energy storage system far outperforms other products in efficiency and economics. Highly adaptable to the environment, green and low-carbon, it is currently the grid's best-quality frequency-regulation resource.

The company's R&D team covers key fields such as flywheel energy storage system design, power electronics conversion and intelligent control, having filed 39 IP rights and been granted 19 invention patents.

Key Typical Application Scenarios

1. Grid frequency regulation — balancing power supply and demand and enhancing grid stability: the Rushan 100 MW flywheel energy storage standalone frequency-regulation station

The world's first 100 MW-class all-flywheel standalone energy storage frequency-regulation station. Phase I was officially grid-connected in July 2025, and Phase II has been included in Shandong Province's 2025 New Energy Storage Demonstration Project catalogue and will soon break ground.

Following the Rushan grid connection and the Yueyang groundbreaking, multiple flywheel projects — Rushan Phase II, Qixia (Yantai), Quzhou (Zhejiang) and Jingzhou (Hubei) — will break ground intensively in the second half of the year. Flywheel energy storage frequency-regulation systems are one of the optimal solutions for frequency-regulation scenarios, improving overall power quality and enhancing grid security.

2. Smart microgrids and virtual power plants: building replicable and scalable application models through modular and intelligent design concepts

Smoothing the impact of the randomness and volatility of new energy generation on the grid, and building smart microgrids in off-grid mode.

3. Data centers / UPS: optimizing charging efficiency and easing grid capacity-expansion pressure

Providing energy compensation in coordination with UPS during short-term grid faults or fluctuations, and supplying loads continuously during the transition from utility power interruption to generator start-up.

As a new member of CNESA, Boding Energy Storage will uphold the philosophy of openness and collaboration. It will deepen cooperation with upstream and downstream enterprises as well as research institutions both inside and outside the alliance, and advance the large‑scale application of flywheel energy storage in scenarios such as grid frequency regulation, microgrids and virtual power plants, contributing Boding’s strength to the development of the new‑type power system and the achievement of the dual‑carbon goals.
