Will China's energy storage demand reach 50 billion yuan in 2020?

It is predicted that with the continuous development of smart grid and RES' grid connection, energy storage demand during the ''13th Five-Year'' will further arise and reach to 50 billion yuan in year 2020 . This paper begins with the elaboration the development status of China's energy storage.

Is China ready for a commercialization mode of energy storage?
