Trina Storage has announced the enhancement of its global delivery framework through an upgraded AC system validation platform, strengthening the company’s ability to deliver reliable and grid-ready utility-scale energy storage systems worldwide. The platform supports its rapid expansion across more than 100 countries and its continued high-growth trajectory in the global BESS market.
Built on four specialized R&D laboratories, the platform integrates a self-built 35 kV medium-voltage test station, a 478 m³ environmental chamber, a system integration test facility and a 1:1 hardware-in-the-loop EMS validation facility. Together, these capabilities enable Trina Storage to simulate real operating environments, verify system performance and reduce commissioning risks before equipment reaches a project site.
Trina Storage is among the first in the industry to construct its own 35 kV MW-scale test station, removing dependency on external grid resources and enabling more efficient, flexible and repeatable testing. The station enables block-level pre-commissioning and high-voltage grid-integration testing under a true medium-voltage environment. With 24/7 testing availability and full-link validation capabilities, it significantly shortens project acceptance timelines and enhances delivery predictability.
The 478 m³ chamber accommodates full 40-ft subsystems – including DC cabinet and MV-Skid, and tests them under extreme conditions from –50°C to +90°C and up to 98% humidity.
The EMS validation platform specializes in system integration, functional validation and performance optimization. Utilizing a Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) simulation platform, it can create a 1:1 model of an energy storage plant, enabling rapid validation of an EMS’s capability in orchestrating an entire plant, ensuring precise and efficient operational management and enhancing overall system stability.
To meet regional requirements, the company has also established system integration testing capabilities across Europe and North America, forming a globally coordinated integration framework that enhances project delivery.
Yang Bao, president of Trina’s energy storage division, commented: “Ensuring that every system we deliver meets the highest standards of performance, safety and reliability is central to our mission. By embedding advanced testing and integration capabilities across our global operations, we give customers the confidence to deploy energy storage at scale, supporting renewable adoption and reinforcing grid stability around the world.”
