What does zhongneng electric energy storage do

Which energy storage technologies are most important?

Physical energy storage technologies need further improvements in scale, efficiency, and popularization, and substantial progress is expected in 100 MW advanced compressed air energy storage, high density composite heat storage, and 400 kW high speed flywheel energy storage key technologies.

How to judge the progress of energy storage industry in China?

Chen Haisheng, Chairman of the China Energy Storage Alliance: When judging the progress of an industry, we must take a rational view that considers the overall situation, development, and long-term perspective. In regard to the overall situation, the development of energy storage in China is still proceeding at a fast pace.

How has grid-side energy storage changed the world?

Xia Qing, Professor of Electrical Engineering, Tsinghua University: The takeoff of grid-side energy storage in 2018 injected new vitality into the whole market, not only bringing new points of growth, but also driving a reduction of costs for energy storage technologies and guiding technologies towards a direction more suited to the power system.

Will electrochemical energy storage grow in China in 2019?

The installation of electrochemical energy storage in China saw a steep increase in 2018, with an annual growth rate of 464.4% for new capacity, an amount of growth that is rare to see. Subsequently, the lowering of electrochemical energy storage growth in China in 2019 compared to 2018 should be viewed rationally.

How much energy storage capacity does the energy storage industry have?

New operational electrochemical energy storage capacity totaled 519.6 MW/855.0 MWh (note: final data to be released in the CNESA 2020 Energy Storage Industry White Paper). In 2019, overall growth in the development of electrical energy storage projects slowed, as the industry entered a period of rational adjustment.

Why is energy storage important?

Energy storage is of vital importance to the energy transition. The opening of the power market can help elevate energy storage to become a natural core part of the power market. At the same time, it can also reflect the functional value of energy storage as a flexible resource.
