Why is China promoting energy storage at the 2025 two sessions?

The buzzword “energy storage” at the 2025 Two Sessions underscores China’s strategic focus on building a resilient, sustainable, and diverse energy system, contributing new efforts to a sustainable global future. The country’s progress in new-type energy storage highlights how innovation can drive both economic and environmental progress worldwide.

How can energy storage systems meet the demands of large-scale energy storage?

To meet the demands for large-scale, long-duration, high-efficiency, and rapid-response energy storage systems, this study integrates physical and chemical energy storage technologies to develop a coupled energy storage system incorporating PEMEC, SOFC and CB.

What is new-type energy storage?

This year, “new-type energy storage” has emerged as a buzzword. Unlike traditional energy, new energy sources typically fluctuate with natural conditions. Advanced storage solutions can store excess power during peak generation and release it when needed, enabling greater reliance on renewables as a primary energy source.

How do energy and exergy analysis results improve system performance?

Mechanisms for enhancing system performance Energy and exergy analysis results indicate that the performance improvement of the proposed system is primarily due to the optimized arrangement of heat exchange processes and the efficient utilization of SOFC exhaust heat.

What is physical energy storage?

Physical energy storage includes mature technologies such as pumped hydro storage (PHS) and compressed air energy storage (CAES).

How to calculate RTE and exergy efficiency of hydrogen energy storage system?

The round-trip energy efficiency (RTE) and exergy efficiency of the hydrogen energy storage system are defined as follows: (21) χ h = η ex,h = W f + W e,H2 W e + W c,H2 where We,H2 is the power generated by the H2 expander of the SOFC subsystem, kW; Wc,H2 is the power input of the H2 compressor of the PEMEC subsystem, kW.
