In January 2022, the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration jointly issued the Implementation Plan for the Development of New Energy Storage during the 14th Five-Year Plan Period, emphasizing the fundamental role of new energy storage technologies in a new power system.
The energy storage industry is going through a critical period of transition from the early commercial stage to development on a large scale. Whether it can thrive in the next stage depends on its economics.
When it comes to energy storage, there are specific application scenarios for generators, grids and consumers. Generators can use it to match production with consumption to ease pressure on grids.
This does not augur well for the market in terms of long-term competition. There will be safety risks associated with excessive cost control and an indifference to quality. Independent energy storage stations enjoy good long-term prospects, though this segment is sluggish in the short term.
Depending on how energy is stored, storage technologies can be broadly divided into the following three categories: thermal, electrical and hydrogen (ammonia). The electrical category is further divided into electrochemical, mechanical and electromagnetic (Figure 2).
