6 FAQs about [Energy storage power plant development]

Are pumped storage power plants a problem in China?

To address the problem of unstable large-scale supply of China's renewable energy, the proposal and accelerated growth of new power systems has promoted the construction and development of pumped storage power plants (PSPPs), and the site selection of conventional PSPPs poses a challenge that needs to be addressed urgently.

Is energy storage the future of China's power system?

Otherwise, the excess renewable energy power will be abandoned, while the industrial and residential demand for electricity does not decrease. Given the development of energy structure and the trend of shifting to renewable energy, energy storage is a main participant in the future of the power system in China .

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.

Why do we need a large-scale energy storage system?

As renewable energy capacity continues to surge, the volatility and intermittency of its generation poses a mismatch between supply and demand when aligned with the fluctuating user load. Consequently, there’s a pressing need for the development of large-scale, high-efficiency, rapid-response, long-duration energy storage system.

Why is the demand for energy storage increasing in China?

In recent years, the demand for energy storage has become more urgent in China as the proportion of renewable energy growing rapidly. PSPP show great potential in promoting the development of various forms of renewable energy in China.
