What are the key areas for the development of energy storage industry

Are there any gaps in energy storage technologies?

Even though several reviews of energy storage technologies have been published, there are still some gaps that need to be filled, including: a) the development of energy storage in China; b) role of energy storage in different application scenarios of the power system; c) analysis and discussion on the business model of energy storage in China.

How is energy storage developing in China?

However, China's energy storage is developing rapidly. The government requires that some new units must be equipped with energy storage systems. The concept of shared energy storage has been applied in China, which effectively promotes the development of energy storage. 4.3. Explore new models of energy storage development

Why is energy storage important in electrical power engineering?

Various application domains are considered. Energy storage is one of the hot points of research in electrical power engineering as it is essential in power systems. It can improve power system stability, shorten energy generation environmental influence, enhance system efficiency, and also raise renewable energy source penetrations.

Where is energy storage used?

It is mainly used in power transmission and distribution systems with loads close to the equipment capacity. The energy storage is installed downstream of the power transmission and distribution equipment that originally needs to be upgraded to delay or avoid capacity expansion.

What are the most popular energy storage systems?

This paper presents a comprehensive review of the most popular energy storage systems including electrical energy storage systems, electrochemical energy storage systems, mechanical energy storage systems, thermal energy storage systems, and chemical energy storage systems.

How has energy storage changed over 20 years?

As can be seen from Fig. 1, energy storage has achieved a transformation from scientific research to large-scale application within 20 years. Energy storage has entered the golden period of rapid development. The development of energy storage in China is regional. North China has abundant wind power resources.
