What is new energy storage?

New energy storage, or energy storage using new technologies such as lithium-ion batteries, liquid flow batteries, compressed air and mechanical energy, is an important foundation for building a new power system in China, enjoying the advantages of quick response, flexible configuration and short construction periods.

Will China's new energy storage sector grow in 2024?

BEIJING — China's new energy storage sector saw rapid growth in 2024, with installed capacity surpassing 70 million kilowatts, said an official with the National Energy Administration.

What will Shanghai's energy-storage project do?

Zhuang Mudi, deputy secretary-general of the Shanghai municipal government, said the project will help drive the development of the new energy-storage industry, as well as the green and low-carbon transformation of Shanghai.

Can new energy storage promote green and low-carbon development?

This year's government work report noted the development of new energy storage as one of the measures to promote green and low-carbon development. New energy storage refers to energy-storage technologies other than conventional pump storage. It offers advantages such as a short construction period, flexible layout and fast response.

How many energy-storage pilot projects are there in 2024?

At the beginning of 2024, the National Energy Administration released a list of 56 new energy-storage pilot projects. About 30 percent of the projects belong to Lithium-ion battery route, others cover fields of compressed air, flow battery, sodium-ion battery, gravity, flywheel, carbon dioxide, lead-carbon battery and liquid air.

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.
