What Deep Blue does

青岛东方深蓝信息科技股份有限公司 (Qingdao Deep Blue Information Technology Co., Ltd.), operating as "Deep Blue," is a privately-held new energy product and intelligent system solution provider founded in 2004 and headquartered in Qingdao Software Park, Shandong, China. The company operates across six integrated product categories — intelligent microgrids, power supply (including the proprietary TG30 20–50 MW lightweight gas turbine series and gas internal combustion generator sets ranging 20 kW–2,000 kW), energy storage (containerized 1.1 MW/2.2 MWh, C&I 125–250 kW, and stacked residential), battery cells (HDCF26650 LiFePO4 and HDCNR18650 Li-ion), EV charging piles (7/22 kW AC and 240/350 kW DC), and photovoltaic modules and inverters (550 Wp modules, 110 kW string inverters). Underlying these products is an IoT, Big Data, AI, and Cloud Computing stack that also powers three software platforms: an energy-carbon management SaaS (25 modules, 57 functions), a smart PV monitoring and integrated O&M platform, and a multi-protocol EV charging platform SaaS. Deep Blue also delivers full-lifecycle gas turbine services plus EPC general contracting and contract energy management.

The company's business model combines hardware sales (gas turbines, energy storage systems, charging piles, PV modules, inverters, battery cells), recurring SaaS subscriptions and deployment licensing for its three software platforms, and professional services including EPC project delivery, inspection, repair, installation, remote diagnostics, and training. Pricing is quote-based and customized per project with no public price list. Deep Blue monetizes through direct enterprise sales backed by a nationwide field service network of 15 branches, 800+ service centers, and 7,000+ technical personnel that enables 30-minute rapid response and 24-hour deployment scheduling. Customers include industrial enterprises, chemical and coking operators, energy and utility companies (notably PipeChina's West-East Gas Pipeline), EV charging operators, airports, PV power station operators, and consumer electronics manufacturers such as Haier and Hisense. Marquee international engagements include a Turkish energy group natural-gas distributed power station (delivered 2025) plus EPC and lifecycle service activity in Russia, Kazakhstan, and Venezuela.

The company positions itself as an integrated provider covering the full energy chain — photovoltaic, storage, charging, microgrid, and energy-carbon management — under China's dual-carbon policy framework. Quantifiable outcomes cited include 10,279.34 tce energy savings in six months and a 15% annual unit consumption reduction for a chlor-alkali chemical customer, 99.999% microgrid power supply reliability, 40% combined-cycle efficiency improvement via TG30, and 8,000+ hours of industrial operation for the West-East Gas Pipeline demonstration. Deep Blue claims 8,000+ enterprise customers across China and growing international exposure.
