How is the future prospect analysis of national energy storage development

What is the future of energy storage study?

Foreword and acknowledgmentsThe Future of Energy Storage study is the ninth in the MIT Energy Initiative’s Future of series, which aims to shed light on a range of complex and vital issues involving

What role does energy storage play in the future?

As carbon neutrality and cleaner energy transitions advance globally, more of the future's electricity will come from renewable energy sources. The higher the proportion of renewable energy sources, the more prominent the role of energy storage. A 100% PV power supply system is analysed as an example.

Why should we study energy storage technology?

It enhances our understanding, from a macro perspective, of the development and evolution patterns of different specific energy storage technologies, predicts potential technological breakthroughs and innovations in the future, and provides more comprehensive and detailed basis for stakeholders in their technological innovation strategies.

When will energy storage become commercialized?

... During this period, the management system, incentive policies and business models of energy storage were mainly explored. It is expected that from 2021 to 2025, energy storage will enter the stage of large-scale development and have the conditions for large-scale commercialization .

Will energy storage be stable in the future?

This may mean that electrochemical energy storage will enter a relatively stable period in the future, while thermal energy storage and electromagnetic energy storage will enter a period of rapid development.

Is energy storage a new technology?

Energy storage is not a new technology. The earliest gravity-based pumped storage system was developed in Switzerland in 1907 and has since been widely applied globally. However, from an industry perspective, energy storage is still in its early stages of development.
