The first year of overseas commercial and industrial energy storage explosion

What drives the development of industrial and commercial energy storage?

Policy, economics, and energy security are driving the accelerated development of industrial and commercial energy storage. Policy initiatives are fostering the integration of source network, load and storage systems. New energy storage solutions on the user-side are being encouraged to adapt flexibly.

Is integrated energy storage (IESS) adoption accelerating?

The rate of advancement for new supply-side products is accelerating, projecting an uptick in IESS adoption. Integrated industrial and commercial energy storage products are set to incorporate both AC and DC systems, streamlining components such as DC cables and switches, thereby reducing overall product costs.

How are policy initiatives promoting energy storage?

Policy initiatives are fostering the integration of source network, load and storage systems. New energy storage solutions on the user-side are being encouraged to adapt flexibly. Support for industrial and commercial energy storage has been bolstered by policies, as highlighted in the Blue Book on the Development of New Electric Power Systems.

Why did Huawei test the top explosion venting design of C&I ESS?

On April 16, 2023, Huawei commissioned TÜV Rheinland to test the top explosion vent-ing design of Huawei C&I ESSs at the National Hazardous Chemicals Emergency Rescue Base in Puyang, Henan to verify the safety capability of the design. The thermal runaway was triggered by overcharge of a single battery pack .

What is energy storage technology?

Energy storage technologies can be applied to the power side, user side, and grid side. On the user side, ESS is mainly used with renewable energy systems such as PV systems to improve self-consumption rate, implement peak staggering, manage demand charges, and improve power supply reliability.
