The current status and prospects of energy storage development at home and abroad

Will energy storage be stable in the future?

This may mean that electrochemical energy storage will enter a relatively stable period in the future, while thermal energy storage and electromagnetic energy storage will enter a period of rapid development.

Is energy storage a new technology?

Energy storage is not a new technology. The earliest gravity-based pumped storage system was developed in Switzerland in 1907 and has since been widely applied globally. However, from an industry perspective, energy storage is still in its early stages of development.

Do energy storage systems provide stable electric energy for users?

In summary, in case of grid failures and power supply abnormality of the distributed power generation system, energy storage systems may provide stable electric energy for users. 1.3.2.4. Improving quality of electric energy

What is the growth rate of the energy storage industry?

In comparison with 2012, the total installed capacity of global energy storage demonstration projects increased 104 MW, an annual growth rate of 14%. Currently, the international energy storage industry is growing at an annual average growth rate of about 9.0%, far higher than the world's power industry's growth rate of 2.5%.

Which countries have a literature search for energy storage technologies?

In this section, relevant literature on energy storage technologies was searched for China, the United States, Japan, and European economies. The specific numbers of collected literature are shown in Table A1. Table A1. Number of literature searches in the field of EST.

Why should we study energy storage technology?

It enhances our understanding, from a macro perspective, of the development and evolution patterns of different specific energy storage technologies, predicts potential technological breakthroughs and innovations in the future, and provides more comprehensive and detailed basis for stakeholders in their technological innovation strategies.
