New energy storage factory operation position

Does energy storage have a new stage of development?

Just as planned in the Guiding Opinions on Promoting Energy Storage Technology and Industry Development, energy storage has now stepped out of the stage of early commercialization and entered a new stage of large-scale development.

What happened to energy storage systems?

Industry attention was also devoted to the effectiveness of applications and the safety of energy storage systems, and lithium-ion battery energy storage systems saw new developments toward higher voltages. Energy storage system costs continued to decline.

Why is energy storage important?

The role of energy storage in the safe and stable operation of the power system is becoming increasingly prominent. Energy storage has also begun to see new applications including generation-side black start services and emergency reserve capacity for critical power users.

How has energy storage been developed?

Energy storage first passed through a technical verification phase during the 12th Five-year Plan period, followed by a second phase of project demonstrations and promotion during the 13th Five-year Plan period. These phases have laid a solid foundation for the development of technologies and applications for large-scale development.

Which energy storage technologies have changed the world?

CATL developed new LiFePO batteries which offer ultra long life capabilities, while BYD launched "blade" batteries to further improve battery cell capacities. Other energy storage technologies such as vanadium flow batteries and compressed air energy storage saw new breakthroughs in long-term energy storage capabilities.

Which energy storage capacity surpassed the GW level?

Newly operational electrochemical energy storage capacity also surpassed the GW level, totaling 1083.3MW/2706.1MWh (final statistics to be released in CNESA’s Energy Storage Industry White Paper 2021 in April 2021).
