As a key player in the creator economy for a decade now, we are hellbent on investing in opportunities that lift creators up, open doors, and do so through a commitment to education, knowledge sharing, and mentorship,” says Bethany Cantor, Head of Brand at Teachable. “This is an ambitious and highly-entertaining show that marks a first for our industry. For those of us on the inside, the disruptive nature of being a creator or online business owner is what energizes us and is central to our daily work. I hope, now, as viewers everywhere immerse themselves in this world, it signals to the many industries around us that creators are here to stay and should be taken seriously as creatives, educators, experts, and ultimately viable businesses.”

The course breaks down valuable insights and lessons from the show, helping students hone and scale their businesses.

“The opportunity to serve as a guest judge and mentor to the 60-Day Hustle contestants perfectly aligns with my love of coaching entrepreneurs. I’m especially passionate about helping those who are still new in their business journey by empowering them to build their personal brand and create deeper connections with their audiences,” says Chris Do, Emmy award-winning designer, director, CEO and founder of The Futur, and Teachable creator. “My role on the show was to help them understand that, in today’s information age and attention economy, creating media is no longer a luxury, it’s a necessity. Otherwise, it’s a race to the bottom, and they risk becoming an undifferentiated brand. I believe teaching is one of the most noble, generous acts someone can do, and 60-Day Hustle represents an alternative to traditional educational models, with a more diverse group of mentors who each bring invaluable entrepreneurial experience.”

As an early pioneer in the creator economy, today Teachable and its parent company Hotmart Co. boast more than 200,000 creators globally.

China Matters’ Feature: What Is High-Quality Development of the Belt and Road Initiative?

Published

on

By

BEIJING, Nov. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Last year marked the 10th anniversary of the Belt and Road Initiative. Alongside the Initiative, China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) plays a key role in promoting the two countries’ collaboration. With Pakistan’s population reaching nearly 250 million, these developments have provided significant improvements in quality of life, creating access to new opportunities and economic growth.

 

In a recent Q&A session as part of the Keywords to Understand China series, Zoon Ahmed Khan, a Pakistani international relations scholar and visiting fellow at Tsinghua University’s Belt and Road Institute, shared insights on China-Pakistani collaborative achievements under the BRI. 

According to Khan, Pakistan’s engagement with the BRI illustrates this impact, with projects launched in 2015 generating over $46 billion in commitments. These investments have created more than 200,000 jobs while addressing urgent needs in electricity, transportation, and social infrastructure.

“One example is Pakistan’s first metro line in my home city, completed as part of CPEC, which has brought accessible public transport to our community,” Khan noted. “The transformation in transportation is opening up opportunities that were previously out of reach for many ordinary citizens.”

This topic highlights China’s emphasis on the high-quality development of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Originally focused on infrastructure development, the BRI has entered a new phase that emphasizes “high-quality” development aimed at fostering sustainable growth and addressing the unique challenges faced by participating countries.

High-quality development of the BRI also encourages partner countries to seek approaches aligned with their social and environmental contexts, allowing for a more tailored approach to growth. According to Khan, this new phase of the BRI supports countries to identify development paths suited to their unique circumstances. “High-quality development of the BRI has created a platform for countries to exchange insights and build solutions that are context-specific,” she explained.

Through high-quality, community-centered partnerships, the BRI remains a significant platform for countries seeking to build sustainable growth and development pathways that benefit local populations and support a broader vision of global connectivity.

Setting a New Safety Benchmark for the Industry: Sungrow Achieves Success in the World’s Largest BESS Fire Test

Published

on

By

HEFEI, China, Nov. 17, 2024 /CNW/ — In June 2024, Sungrow took the bold step of deliberately combusting the 10MWh of its PowerTitan 1.0 liquid-cooled battery energy storage system (BESS), becoming the first company globally to conduct a large-scale burn test on an energy storage system. Recently, the company invested approximately 4.23 million USD[1] to perform the world’s largest and longest burn test on 20MWh of its PowerTitan 2.0 liquid-cooled BESS.

These two burn tests conducted within six months underscore Sungrow’s commitment to technological innovation, its relentless pursuit of product quality, and its unwavering dedication to ensuring the safety of both personnel and assets at energy storage plants. Meanwhile, the test represents Sungrow’s steadfast commitment to upholding the safety baseline for the energy storage industry.

The 20MWh burn test replicated a real-world power plant fire scenario, completed under the oversight of DNV (Det Norske Veritas) experts and over 100 clients, and delivered results exceeding expectations. The results were clear: there was no fire propagation during the thermal runaway incident. In contrast to conventional industry burn tests, this test was a significant upgrade in terms of combustion duration, testing conditions, and safety standards, establishing a new benchmark for safety through rigorous and extreme testing.

Challenge 1: 
Withstanding Over 25 Hours of Combustion, Proving Superior System Protection Capability

Unlike common industry-standard combustion tests within 4 to 8 hours, this challenging test was designed to sustain for 3 to 6 times longer. After continuous burning within 25 hours and 43 minutes, the container structure of the thermal runaway unit remained intact, and the system could still be safely hoisted for removal. Importantly, the fire did not spread beyond the unit, demonstrating the PowerTitan 2.0’s advanced explosion venting, flame retardancy, and impact resistance capabilities.

Challenge 2: 
Enduring Temperatures High Enough to Melt Steel, Verifying Thermal Runaway Containment

To simulate extreme operating conditions, four fully-charged energy storage units were arrayed nearby — containers A and B were only 15 cm apart, which is the absolute minimum distance permitted in the industry (most power plant containers are spaced 3 meters apart). Despite the flames from container A reaching 1,385°C — temperatures high enough to melt steel — the fire did not spread to the neighboring container B, which maintained a safe temperature of 40°C. This result validates the PowerTitan 2.0’s superior fire insulation ability, even when the units are placed in extremely close quarters.

Challenge 3: 
Testing Fire Resistance and Flame Retardancy Without Firefighting Protection

In this phase of the test, all firefighting systems for the BESS containers were intentionally shut off, leaving the units unprotected and significantly increasing the safety risks. Despite this, the PowerTitan 2.0 performed admirably, with all four storage container doors remaining intact and not burned through. The fire was effectively contained within the container, and the damage was limited. This demonstrated the BESS’s ability to autonomously respond to extreme fire situations, highlighting the robust passive fire protection design that minimizes risk.

Safety is the cornerstone of the energy storage industry. Sungrow’s two consecutive, high-investment, extremely large-scale burn tests on the PowerTitan series reflect the company’s unwavering commitment to safeguarding personnel, assets, and operations at power plants, as well as its dedication to reinforcing the safety standards for the entire industry. The success of this rigorous and high-standard combustion test sets a new benchmark for safety in the energy storage sector, providing valuable real-world evidence for future safety protocols.
