What is the energy storage demand in China?

Energy storage demand in China is without a doubt. Currently, China is carrying out the urbanization of centrality, intelligence, green and low carbon. Among them, the application of DG, smart micro-grid, EV, and the intelligent management of power grid all need energy storage , , , , .

Does China's energy storage industry have a comprehensive study?

However, because of the late start of China's energy storage industry, the comprehensive study for the whole industry is very few. We found a review which provided a relatively comprehensive analysis of the technical and economic issue of it. Compared with other studies, its research has a good comprehensiveness.

Why is energy storage industry in China a big problem?

Judging from the present condition, cost problem is the main barrier. And the high performance and high security of the relative technology still need to be improved. Until 2020, energy storage industry in China may not be spread massively and the key point during this period is the technology research .

What was the growth rate of energy storage industry in 2015?

Driven by the Euramerican and Asia-Pacific market, worldwide energy storage industry experienced fast development in 2015. According to CNESA, global cumulative installed capacity of energy storage system was 946.8 MW (excluding PSS, CAES and heat storage) by the end of 2015 and the growth rate was 12.7% compared with year 2014.

How to improve the commercialization of energy storage industry in China?

The above problems have constrained the commercialization of energy storage industry in China. Therefore, we should take relevant measures, including reducing costs by all means, perfecting technical standards, establishing advanced benefits assessment system, and improving relevant incentive policies. 4.1. Reduce costs by all means

Why are China's energy storage devices mainly installed in the demand side?

China's energy storage devices are mainly installed in the demand side with the proportion of 46% and most of them are DG and micro-grid projects. One reason is that China's large electricity demand brought by the large population and growing economy leads a big peak-valley difference.
