2020 energy storage

What was the growth rate of energy storage projects in 2020?

In 2020, the year-on-year growth rate of energy storage projects was 136%, and electrochemical energy storage system costs reached a new milestone of 1500 RMB/kWh.

What are the different types of energy storage technologies?

This report covers the following energy storage technologies: lithium-ion batteries, lead–acid batteries, pumped-storage hydropower, compressed-air energy storage, redox flow batteries, hydrogen, building thermal energy storage, and select long-duration energy storage technologies.

Where will stationary energy storage be available in 2030?

The largest markets for stationary energy storage in 2030 are projected to be in North America (41.1 GWh), China (32.6 GWh), and Europe (31.2 GWh). Excluding China, Japan (2.3 GWh) and South Korea (1.2 GWh) comprise a large part of the rest of the Asian market.

How much will energy storage cost in 2023?

In 2023, the application of 100 MW level energy storage projects has been realised with a cost ranging from ¥1400 to ¥2000 per kWh. Lithium iron phosphate battery was commercialised at this time. It is predicted that in 2030, multiple types of energy storage project can be commercialised.

What is the energy storage Grand Challenge?

This report, supported by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Energy Storage Grand Challenge, summarizes current status and market projections for the global deployment of selected energy storage technologies in the transportation and stationary markets.

What is the future of energy storage?

Looking further into the future, breakthroughs in high-safety, long-life, low-cost battery technology will lead to the widespread adoption of energy storage, especially electrochemical energy storage, across the entire energy landscape, including the generation, grid, and load sides.
