How many kilowatts are in China's new energy storage projects?

[Photo/China Daily] The installed capacity of new energy storage projects that were put into operation during the first half of this year in China has reached 8.63 million kilowatts, equivalent to the total installed capacity of previous years in the country, according to the National Energy Administration (NEA).

How will the NEA improve China's energy storage capacity?

The NEA said it will actively strengthen planning, improve standard systems and refine the market mechanism to promote the high-quality development of new-type energy storage. China's energy storage capacity is expanding to facilitate the utilization of growing renewable power amid the country's efforts to advance its green energy transition.

How big is China's energy storage capacity?

China's installed new-type energy storage capacity had reached 44.44 gigawatts by of the end of June, expanding 40 percent compared with the end of last year, the National Energy Administration (NEA) said on Wednesday. Lithium-ion batteries accounted for 97 percent of China's new-type energy storage capacity at the end of June, the NEA added.

How has energy storage changed over 20 years?

As can be seen from Fig. 1, energy storage has achieved a transformation from scientific research to large-scale application within 20 years. Energy storage has entered the golden period of rapid development. The development of energy storage in China is regional. North China has abundant wind power resources.

How many kilowatts a year is energy storage?

According to the NEA, the total installed capacity of new types of energy storage projects reached 8.7 million kilowatts with an average power storage period of 2.1 hours last year, an increase of over 110 percent from the end of 2021.

Where is energy storage used?

It is mainly used in power transmission and distribution systems with loads close to the equipment capacity. The energy storage is installed downstream of the power transmission and distribution equipment that originally needs to be upgraded to delay or avoid capacity expansion.
