Why do factories reject energy storage products

What causes energy waste in a factory?

The second cause of energy waste – the inefficient utilization in the production system – is equally essential for factories to pay attention to. Based on Hon’s research (2005), a production system in a factory normally has four levels (from low to high): 1) the single machine, 2) the manufacturing cell, 3) the flow line, and 4) the whole factory.

How can we study energy waste in real factories?

Further research can be conducted to study energy waste in real factories by case studies, which can help to develop a more detailed framework to categorise different types of energy waste and link them with existing solutions.

Why is energy storage industry in China a big problem?

Judging from the present condition, cost problem is the main barrier. And the high performance and high security of the relative technology still need to be improved. Until 2020, energy storage industry in China may not be spread massively and the key point during this period is the technology research .

Does refining a production system have less energy waste?

Based on the results of co-word-based thematic analysis and co-citation analysis, we give both narrow and broad definitions of energy waste based on the analysis results. From these reviewed papers, it can be found that there is a trend of refining the production systems to have less energy waste.

What are the challenges of energy storage?

Therefore, the uninterrupted supply of energy is one of the greatest needs and challenges of the modern world. In this context, TES technology is positioning itself as a solution to the challenges of energy storage. Currently, the energy supply highly depends on the fossil fuels that make the environment vulnerable inducing pollution in it.

Is energy storage a precondition for large-scale integration and consumption?

So to speak, energy storage is the precondition of large-scale integration and consumption of RES. However, China's energy storage industry is at the exploration stage and far from commercialization. This restricts the development of RES to certain extent. For this reason, this paper will concentrate on China's energy storage industry.
