FAQS about Responsibilities of the energy storage division of the energy bureau

Why is energy storage important?

Energy storage has emerged as an integral component of a resilient and efficient electric grid, with a diverse array of applications. The widespread deployment of energy storage requires confidence across stakeholder groups (e.g., manufacturers, regulators, insurers, and consumers) in the safety and reliability of the technology.

Who manages energy storage assets?

The energy storage asset owner may manage maintenance of a system themselves or they may outsource it to a third-party company (especially for geographically distributed sites).

What are electrochemical energy storage deployments?

Summary of electrochemical energy storage deployments. Li-ion batteries are the dominant electrochemical grid energy storage technology. Characteristics such as high energy density, high power, high efficiency, and low self-discharge have made them attractive for many grid applications.

What is a typical energy storage deployment?

A typical energy storage deployment will consist of multiple project phases, including (1) planning (project initiation, development, and design activities), (2) procurement, (3) construction, (4) acceptance testing (i.e., commissioning), (5) operations and maintenance, and (6) decommissioning.

What's new in energy storage safety?

Since the publication of the first Energy Storage Safety Strategic Plan in 2014, there have been introductions of new technologies, new use cases, and new codes, standards, regulations, and testing methods. Additionally, failures in deployed energy storage systems (ESS) have led to new emergency response best practices.

What is electrochemical energy storage?

Electrochemical energy storage includes various types of batteries that convert chemical energy into electrical energy by reversible oxidation-reduction reactions. Batteries are currently the most common form of new energy storage deployed because they are modular and scalable across diverse applications and geographic locations.

Director of energy storage division national energy administration

Bian Guangqi, deputy director-general of the NEA's energy saving and technology equipment department, said that by the end of 2024, total installed capacity of new energy storage projects in China reached 73.76 million kW, which represented an increase of over 130 percent compared to the end of 2023.
