Research and analysis on the development of energy storage abroad

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.

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.

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.

Does China have a large-scale energy storage technology?

China has included large-scale energy storage technology in the National Energy Plan during the 12th Five-Year Plan Period and has been actively guiding and promoting the development of the energy storage industry. 1.3. Demands and functions of energy storage technology in power systems 1.3.1.

Why is electromagnetic energy storage gaining popularity in China?

This may be due to the fact that electromagnetic energy storage is experiencing a period of rapid development in China, and various research institutions have conducted extensive research, resulting in intense competition and mutual catch-up.

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.
