Jinko ESS, a global leading energy storage provider and a subsidiary of Jinko Solar Co., Ltd., has successfully commissioned three units of its 3.44MWh Utility G1 liquid-cooled energy storage systems for the Zorline project in Romania, with a total capacity of 10.32MWh. Designed to support the local grid and renewable energy integration, this project will contribute to Romania's energy transition goals and marks a significant step in Jinko ESS's expansion in the Southeastern European market.
Tailored to Romania's specific climate and grid conditions, the Utility G1 system features an intelligent Battery Management System (BMS) enabling cell-level real-time monitoring and thermal runaway warning, combined with a five-layer protection architecture and IP55 protection rating, effectively addressing local temperature variations and complex environmental challenges. The advanced liquid cooling thermal management system maintains cell temperature differences within 2.5℃, ensuring stable operation across a wide temperature range from -30℃ to 50℃. With over 7,000 cycles, the compact design saves footprint compared to conventional solutions, making it particularly suitable for space-constrained project sites. Its modular architecture supports flexible expansion and can be precisely adapted to Romania's diverse geographical conditions and grid dispatch requirements.
As the official distributor of Jinko ESS in Romania, SolarToday played a key role in coordinating the project delivery and ensuring seamless integration with local stakeholders. In parallel, PowerKonnekt supported the project with its advanced Energy Management System (EMS), enabling efficient control, monitoring, and optimization of the storage system to maximize performance and operational reliability.
"The successful commissioning of the Zorline project marks an important milestone for Jinko ESS in the Romanian market," said Roberto Murgioni, General Manager of Jinko ESS Europe. "We will continue to work closely with local partners, supporting Romania's energy structure optimization with advanced storage technology and jointly promoting the clean energy transition in Southeastern Europe, contributing to a more resilient and sustainable energy future."
