List of energy storage industry innovation alliance

Why is China launching a national energy storage Industry Innovation Alliance?

[Photo/China News Service] China came up with a national energy storage industry innovation alliance on Monday aiming to further boost the country's energy storage sector, as the country aims to promote large-scale use of energy storage technologies at lower costs to back up the world's biggest fleet of wind and solar power plants.

What is science and Technology Innovation (Energy Storage)?

On November 10, 2020, the National Energy Administration published a list of its first batch of science and technology innovation (energy storage) pilot demonstration projects. The list of projects includes generation-side, behind-the-meter, and grid-side applications, as well as thermal-generation-bundled energy storage for frequency regulation.

Why is China embracing new-type energy storage?

The new-type energy storage sector is embracing massive opportunities in China as the country has been promoting storage technologies in accordance with a massive wind and solar capacity build-out to allow exports of large-scale clean energy to other regions, Li said.

What is a new-type energy storage system?

The new-type energy storage systems, meaning all technologies except pumped hydro, is a flexible way of adjusting resource allocation that plays a key role in the large scale of wind and solar energy, said Li Jingru, vice-president of State Grid Economic and Technological Research Institute Co Ltd.

Will China's new energy storage capacity be 30 gigawatts by 2025?

China is targeting new-type energy storage installed capacity of 30 gigawatts by 2025, part of efforts to boost renewable power consumption and ensure grid stability, according to a statement by the National Development and Reform Commission and the NEA.

What is a 30 GW energy storage system?

The 30 GW includes storage using electrochemical, compressed air, flywheel and super-capacitor systems, except pumped hydro. The country aims to cut the cost of electrochemical energy storage systems by 30 percent by 2025, according to a five-year plan by NDRC, and complete the commercialization of new-type energy storage systems by 2030.
