By definition, energy storage is the process of storing energy through an instrument or device and releasing it when needed. Its essence is to solve the problem of imbalance between power supply and demand. To put it figuratively, energy storage means storing "energy", just like a power bank, which stores electrical energy and uses it when needed. It can store electricity during the day and use it at night, or it can store electricity on sunny days and use it on rainy days. Use electricity and adjust resources very flexibly to ensure the consumption of new energy. In the past, people’s impression of “energy storage” mainly refers to pumped hydropower storage and lead-acid batteries. For example, pumped water storage uses electricity to pump water to the upper reservoir during low power load periods, and then releases water to the lower reservoir to generate electricity during peak power load periods. It can convert excess electric energy when the grid load is low into high-value electric energy during peak periods. Lead-acid batteries, such as solar street lights, solar garden lights, and centralized solar power stations seen on the market, all have functional units for storing energy, but at that time, lead-acid batteries were used to store energy. But in fact, according to different forms of energy storage, energy storage can be divided into electric energy storage, hydrogen energy storage and thermal energy storage. Electrical energy storage can be divided into electrochemical energy storage and mechanical energy storage. Electrochemical energy storage is mainly familiar battery energy storage, including lithium batteries, lead batteries, sodium-sulfur batteries, etc.; while mechanical energy storage mainly includes water pumping. Energy storage, compressed air energy storage, flywheel energy storage, etc. In other words, among electric energy storage, pumped hydro energy storage is a more traditional energy storage method, while electrochemical energy storage is a new energy storage method. Looking at the structure of China's energy storage market, the cumulative installed capacity of pumped energy storage accounts for more than 86%, while the cumulative installed capacity of electrochemical energy storage accounts for only about 12%. The current hot energy storage market is mainly lithium battery energy storage. Among all installed electrochemical energy storage types, lithium batteries account for 92% and are currently the mainstream mode of electrochemical energy storage. Why has lithium battery energy storage only emerged in recent years? On the one hand, with the development of the industry, lithium batteries have gradually highlighted their advantages and become the protagonist of energy storage functional units. On the other hand, the global energy shortage in recent years, coupled with China's emphasis on green energy and policy tendencies, have accelerated the transformation of energy storage from a functional unit to a market direction.

In recent years, the global semiconductor industry has experienced ups and downs. The continuous shortages in the past two years have brought great opportunities and stages to independent distributors like Chuangshi Technology, and the downturn since this year has brought them great crises and changes. "But it is precisely because of the ups and downs of the industry that many end customers have realized that the long-term futures model may not always be smooth and feasible. Independent distributors can respond more quickly to fluctuations in industry cycles or special scenarios," said Chuangshi Technology General Manager Alice obviously sees more opportunities brought by challenges. "Many global top customers have increased the proportion of independent distributors in their supplier systems, and Chuangshi Technology is also a beneficiary." "As an intermediate bridge between supply and demand, our original intention has always been to link the global supply chain and achieve win-win results with customers," Alice said. Regardless of the ups and downs of the industry, Chuangshi Technology has carefully polished its own advantages in the details. First, self-built testing laboratory and perfect quality control system. Chuangshi Technology has always regarded quality as the lifeline of the company, and has successively passed AS9120B&ISO 9001 dual system certification, ESD S20.20 certification, CMA and CNAS certification are currently in progress, and set up 3 in Hong Kong and Shenzhen. The testing laboratory strictly follows international testing standards such as AS6081, AS6171, and IDEA-STD-1010-B, covering packaging inspection, appearance inspection, X-Ray inspection, XRF inspection, electrical test, solderability test and cover opening test wait. "At the same time, we have dozens of full-time testing engineers, and the core members are senior testing personnel with more than 5 years of working experience in third-party laboratories," Alice added, "Compared to other independent distributors, in addition to hardware facilities , We have invested more in the soft power of the quality inspection system, which is also a link that is less visible to the outside world." Second, extensive supply chain network and strong procurement capabilities. Linking the global network and cooperating with thousands of certified suppliers can not only guarantee the quality from the source, but also quickly tap global high-quality resources to further help customers reduce procurement costs and respond quickly to customer needs. The third is good reputation and service. On the one hand, Chuangshi Technology always adheres to customer-centricity, and has continuously won wide recognition and praise from customers in multiple dimensions such as product quality, delivery time, and after-sales service; on the other hand, Chuangshi Technology is also good at providing customized supply Chain solutions and personalized services help customers solve various problems, thereby strengthening long-term cooperative relationships.

Huai Jinpeng pointed out that the Ministry of Education will cultivate a number of major scientific and technological projects centering on strategic, basic and leading industries such as integrated circuits, industrial motherboards, instruments and meters, and biomedicine, and concentrate efforts on scientific research. Huai Jinpeng said that in response to national urgent needs and major national strategies, we will promote cooperation with relevant national departments to further solve the problem of "stuck neck" in core technologies. At present, integrated circuits, as the foundation and core of the modern information technology industry, are widely used in various electronic products. They are an indispensable part of the information age and have become a strategic, basic, and leading industry for national economic and social development. Although with policy support and market development, China's integrated circuit industry has accumulated a certain industrial foundation and advantages, but some "stuck neck" technologies are still subject to others. The fundamental reason is that the problem of talents has become one of the key factors restricting the development of my country's semiconductor industry. In order to alleviate the shortage of talents in my country's integrated circuit industry, the exemplary microelectronics college has become an important mechanism for the cultivation of integrated circuit talents in my country. The data shows that from 2015 to 2018, the number of students enrolled in the national "26+1" demonstration microelectronics colleges has risen steadily, and stable output can basically be achieved. However, for now, there is still room for optimization of high-level and innovative high-level talents in the semiconductor field in my country. To this end, in recent years, many well-known colleges and universities in my country have successively established integrated circuit colleges to train high-quality and sophisticated talents in the semiconductor industry, including Peking University, Tsinghua University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Sun Yat-sen University, Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Guangdong Industrial University, etc. At present, all major universities and enterprises are strengthening cooperation with each other. For example, Guangdong University of Technology has successively established joint innovation laboratories with Huawei, Allwinner Technology, Cansemi Semiconductor, and five electronics institutes of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology; University of Science and Technology of China and Hefei University of Technology Sign a joint training agreement to jointly cultivate high-level chip talents. It is worth mentioning that, in response to the urgent needs of the country and the "stuck neck" of major national strategic core technologies, the Ministry of Education proposed to overcome a number of key core technologies urgently needed by the national strategy in the key core technology fields, and effectively improve the industrial chain, supply chain resilience and Competitiveness, a group of high-level research universities have become talent centers and innovation highlands with world influence, and become the core force supporting a strong education, science and technology, and talent power.
