BEIJING, March 30, 2025 — BYD Energy Storage, a division of BYD Company Limited and a provider of renewable energy solutions, introduced its latest commercial and industrial (C&I) energy storage system, Chess Plus, on March 26th. The system is engineered to overcome challenges related to safety, efficiency, and profitability in a highly competitive market.
The Chess Plus system from BYD Energy Storage introduces a new energy storage approach using its cell-to-system (CTS) protection framework. It utilizes “Thick Blade Battery” cells featuring ceramic terminals to eliminate leakage risks and improve corrosion resistance. These cells have undergone rigorous testing, including thermal runaway simulations (-25~55℃) and 260% overcharge tests. The Chess Plus boasts a 2-hour fire-resistant battery casing and an integrated aerosol fire suppression system. System-level protection measures, such as 8.0-magnitude seismic resistance, IP55 enclosures with sloped roofs for water runoff, and AI-driven risk prediction algorithms, enable early detection of thermal anomalies.
Chess Plus incorporates ultra-long life battery cells that support over 10,000 cycles, ensuring long-term reliability. Its dual-mode cooling system, which combines liquid cooling for batteries and smart forced air cooling for electronic components, lowers auxiliary power consumption by 20% and improves thermal consistency. This design extends the lifespan of components by 30%.
Chess Plus features high-performance edge computing for real-time SOC optimization and fault prediction. The system’s modular design includes independent data and control channels to ensure stable operation. Chess Plus is suitable for various energy storage applications in industrial parks, EV charging stations, and microgrids. With AI-driven management, it offers an ideal solution for optimizing energy consumption and maximizing ROI in diverse environments.
Dr. Wang Xiaoye of BYD Energy Storage stated, “Only manufacturers with expertise in cell-level R&D can deliver true value and efficiency. Chess Plus embodies our 17 years of energy storage experience and our dedication to sustainable innovation.”
BYD Energy Storage has a longstanding commitment to the R&D of C&I energy storage products. Their prior C&I product, used in a Behind-the-Meter facility in Jiangsu, China, generates $3 million annually through two cycles per day and grid incentives, achieving a payback period of 3 years.
As industries globally adopt green energy, Chess Plus demonstrates significant potential to become a dominant force in the market due to its robust stability and adaptability. With exceptional safety features and intelligent operational tools, BYD Energy Storage continues to spearhead the global transition towards resilient and cost-effective energy storage.
