NextEra Energy stock rises after Google power deal report
DOVER, USA - Sunrise New Energy Co., Ltd. (NASDAQ:EPOW), a small-cap company with a market value of $34.27 million, announced Tuesday it has been granted a new utility patent for an anti-eruption system designed for graphitization furnaces, according to a company press release. According to InvestingPro data, the company has shown strong momentum with a 33.18% year-to-date price return.
The patent (Authorization No. CN222165748U) covers an AI-enabled safety control system for the anode material graphitization process. The technology integrates artificial intelligence with big-data analytics to provide predictive monitoring capabilities.
The system employs an ultra-high-temperature pressure sensor that can withstand temperatures up to 3000°C, allowing it to capture internal pressure signals inside furnaces during graphitization. Using AI-driven data modeling, the system can forecast abnormal conditions and automatically adjust temperature, current, or power supply to prevent accidents.
Sunrise New Energy, headquartered in Zibo, China, manufactures graphite anode material for lithium-ion batteries through its joint venture. The company operates a manufacturing facility in Guizhou Province with a production capacity of 50,000 tons.
"The patent underscores Sunrise’s commitment to advancing AI-based predictive control and automation technologies," said Haiping Hu, CEO of Sunrise New Energy, in the statement.
The company claims the patented system enhances safety, automation, and stability in the anode material graphitization process, with components designed for durability and responsiveness in large-scale production environments.
In other recent news, Sunrise New Energy Co., Ltd. has announced several significant developments. The company reported a major supply agreement valued at approximately $29 million with China Sodium Times (Shenzhen) New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. This contract involves the supply of 10,000 tons of artificial graphite anode materials over one year. Additionally, Sunrise New Energy’s subsidiary has been granted a Chinese patent for a preparation method of mesophase carbon microsphere-silicon carbon composite anode material. This patent covers a unique process involving polymerization, plasma technology, and electrochemical deposition. Furthermore, the company has secured $600,000 in funding from the National Special Fund for Science and Technology Development, marking the first national-level project approval in Qianxinan Prefecture in three years. Sunrise New Energy also announced the development of an advanced CVD fluidized bed system for silicon-carbon anodes, in collaboration with Songci Electromechanical Technology Co., Ltd. These developments reflect the company’s ongoing efforts in innovation and expansion within the energy materials sector.
