6 FAQs about [Actively promote energy storage demonstration applications]

What is science and Technology Innovation (Energy Storage)?

On November 10, 2020, the National Energy Administration published a list of its first batch of science and technology innovation (energy storage) pilot demonstration projects. The list of projects includes generation-side, behind-the-meter, and grid-side applications, as well as thermal-generation-bundled energy storage for frequency regulation.

Why should energy storage technology be used in a large-scale application?

The premise of large-scale application of energy storage technology is to set industry standards for energy storage. On the one hand, there have been many safety accidents in energy storage systems around the world. The development of energy storage standards can effectively reduce the danger of energy storage.

When will energy storage be commercialized?

From 2016 to 2020, the goal is to build energy storage demonstration projects with commercial purposes. This marks the development of energy storage into the early stages of commercialization. During this period, the management system, incentive policies and business models of energy storage were mainly explored.

What are demonstration projects?

The demonstration projects are of a comprehensive and representative type. Projects cover generation-side (both renewable energy generation and conventional thermal generation), grid-side, and behind-the-meter applications, while technologies include electrochemical, physical, and thermal storage.

Will energy storage industrialization be a part of the 14th five-year plan?

While looking back on 2020, we also looking forward to the development of energy storage industrialization during the 14th Five-year Plan, as policy and market mechanisms become the key to promote the full commercialization and large-scale application of energy storage.

When will energy storage enter the stage of large-scale commercialization?

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 . The context of the energy storage industry in China is shown in Fig. 1.
