Analysis of energy storage industry in 2010

Can the United States lead the development of the energy storage industry?

From a global perspective, one of the main reasons why the United States can lead the development of the energy storage industry is that since the late 1970s, the United States has broken the monopoly of the electricity market through legislation.

How is energy storage developing in China?

However, China's energy storage is developing rapidly. The government requires that some new units must be equipped with energy storage systems. The concept of shared energy storage has been applied in China, which effectively promotes the development of energy storage. 4.3. Explore new models of energy storage development

What is the business model of energy storage in Germany?

The business model in the United States is developing rapidly in a mature electricity market environment. In Germany, the development of distributed energy storage is very rapid. About 52,000 residential energy storage systems in Germany serve photovoltaic power generation installations. The scale of energy storage capacity exceeds 300MWh .

Are there any gaps in energy storage technologies?

Even though several reviews of energy storage technologies have been published, there are still some gaps that need to be filled, including: a) the development of energy storage in China; b) role of energy storage in different application scenarios of the power system; c) analysis and discussion on the business model of energy storage in China.

What are the emerging energy storage business models?

The independent energy storage model under the spot power market and the shared energy storage model are emerging energy storage business models. They emphasized the independent status of energy storage. The energy storage has truly been upgraded from an auxiliary industry to the main industry.

When did energy storage technology start?

The large-scale development of energy storage began around 2000. From 2000 to 2010, energy storage technology was developed in the laboratory. Electrochemical energy storage is the focus of research in this period. From 2011 to 2015, energy storage technology gradually matured and entered the demonstration application stage.
