Bruce Guo, General ManagerFuture Power Revolution (FPR)’s cutting-edge energy storage systems bridge this gap, ensuring a steady and dependable power supply for industries and residences worldwide.
With a solid foundation in lithium-ion battery technology, FPR was already well renowned in the consumer electronics and high-performance battery manufacturing market. Seeing the rising demand for power storage in renewable energy applications, the company launched its New Energy (FPR-NE) division 2.5 years ago with its JDM/ODM/OEM partners to focus on grid-scale and commercial battery applications.
The company’s portfolio includes power storage systems for use cases across the board including those for utility-scale projects, commercial and industrial applications and residential use. It also manufactures batteries for consumer electronics (including headsets and Metaverse hardware), serving tier-one manufacturers world-wide.
Science-based Excellence FPR-NE’s product pipeline features advanced battery energy storage systems (BESS) that provide a reliable and stable power supply. These systems are built on a combination of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) and nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) chemistries.
“Each battery technology has its own distinct advantage,” says Bruce Guo, general manager of FPR-NE. “LFP batteries are known for their safety and longevity, making them well-suited for stationary storage applications, while NMC batteries offer higher energy density, which makes them ideal for applications that require compact yet powerful storage solutions.”
The company has also developed semi-solid and solid-state battery technologies, which promise even greater safety and energy density.
FPR-NE’s solutions store excess energy during peak production and discharge it when demand is high, stabilizing the grid and enhancing the economic viability of renewable energy projects through optimized power utilization.Meeting Industry Demands with Flexibility
FPR-NE’s solutions can be used in a variety of applications, from utility-scale systems to portable power units. These include;
• Prismatic cell-based batteries that support large-scale renewable energy storage, housed in 20-foot containers with up to 5+ MWh capacity and 1,500V DC output. • Solar-integrated power modules to provide energy for 5G substations in remote areas.
• Refrigerator-sized storage units, which offer backup power and peak shaving for hospitals, schools and businesses.
• Portable power stations that feature semi-solid batteries for enhanced safety and durability.
FPR-NE operates under both ODM and OEM models to address a wide range of client needs. The company’s ability to design, manufacture and integrate custom battery storage solutions has led to strong partnerships with leading technology firms worldwide. FPR-NE’s flexible business models ensure adaptability to various markets and regulatory environments.
Optimizing Performance and Protection
Engineering excellence is at the core of the company’s product range. It goes beyond just stacking battery cells, focusing on mechanical integrity, thermal regulation and system integration for long-term reliability and safety. Designed to withstand fluctuating temperatures, transportation vibrations, and high-power demands, FPR-NE’s battery storage systems undergo advanced simulations and extensive testing to guarantee durability over their 20- to 25-year lifecycle.

By localizing production, we can improve supply chain efficiency and provide faster delivery to our North American customers
Central to this engineering approach is the company’s state-of-the-art battery management system (BMS), which ensures seamless operations and safeguards battery performance. The system is built around a hierarchical structure, where the battery module unit (BMU) collects voltage and temperature data and adjusts fan speeds, while the battery cluster unit (BCU) processes this data, triggers alarms when necessary, and communicates with the battery array unit (BAU).
The BAU, in turn, consolidates information from multiple packs and interfaces with the power conversion system (PCS), AC, and fire management system. By systematically monitoring and regulating each battery component, FPR-NE enhances overall system efficiency and longevity.

An advanced thermal management system plays a crucial role in ensuring the longevity of these solutions, preventing overheating and ensuring balanced cell degradation. FPR-NE has developed an innovative liquid-cooling technology that maintains optimal operating temperatures, reducing the risk of thermal runaway and enhancing overall battery lifespan. Fire prevention measures such as venting excess heat and adding protective materials between cells to prevent fire propagation are also used to further reinforce the solutions’ safety. This comprehensive approach to thermal management simultaneously improves performance and distinguishes FPR-NE’s storage solutions from many competitors in terms of reliability and safety.
FPR-NE’s commitment to quality extends beyond system design. The company adheres to strict industry standards, including IFC 2021, UL9540A, NFPA 855, and NFPA 1 2018, ensuring its products meet the highest safety benchmarks. An exceptional quality management system tracks every stage of production, from sourcing raw materials to assembling battery packs, with rigorous testing protocols like ISO 9001:2008, ISO 14001, and QC080000 in place. Additionally, a traceability system monitors the performance of each battery cell, identifying potential issues before they escalate. This focus on safety, durability, and regulatory compliance positions FPR-NE as a leader in the energy storage industry.
Meeting the Growing Demand
FPR-NE is all set to bring this product excellence into the North American market. The company is planning to establish a manufacturing facility in the U.S. to meet the rapidly growing demand for battery storage solutions in the region.
“By localizing production, we can improve supply chain efficiency and provide faster delivery to our North American customers,” says Guo. “It can directly lead to increased renewable energy adoption, better grid infrastructure and accelerated growth for energy-intensive industries like artificial intelligence and data centers.”
Beyond North America, FPR-NE is also planning manufacturing sites in Europe and Canada. Expansion into these regions aligns with global decarbonization efforts and the increasing need for energy independence. Advanced automation in battery pack production further enables scalable growth to ensure high-quality manufacturing and reduced labor-intensive processes.
Innovation is in the DNA
FPR-NE operates with a clear vision for the future and is driven to improve its products through continuous innovation and research. Special attention is paid to next-generation battery chemistries like solid-state batteries for their promising capabilities that can replace traditional liquid electrolytes with solid materials to improve safety and energy density.
As the world moves toward a greener future, energy storage remains the key to unlocking the full potential of renewable power. FPR-NE stands at the forefront of this transformation, delivering cutting-edge battery solutions that bridge the gap between energy production and demand. With a commitment to engineering excellence, safety, and innovation, the company continues to redefine industry standards while expanding its global footprint. By localizing production, embracing advanced automation, and investing in next-generation technologies, FPR-NE is not just keeping pace with the energy landscape—it is driving it forward.
