Target trillion-level market new energy storage industry starts a new journey of large-scale development

The National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration recently issued the "14th Five-Year Plan for New Energy Storage Development Implementation Plan" (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan"), proposing that by 2025, new energy storage will enter the stage of large-scale development from the initial stage of commercialization.

The relevant person in charge of the National Energy Administration said that the "Plan" involves the cost, price, mechanism, standard, and development goals of new energy storage construction, and clarifies the key tasks during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period

The "Plan" proposes that by 2025, the new energy storage will enter the stage of large-scale development from the initial stage of commercialization, and meet the conditions for large-scale commercial application

The "14th Five-Year Plan" is a strategic critical period for implementing the "double carbon" goal

The "Plan" proposes to support the new power system with new energy storage

Experts pointed out that "new energy + energy storage" has become the consensus of industry development

Strengthening technical research and building a new energy storage innovation system is the "nirvana" of this round of industrial development

The "Plan" encourages different technical routes to "let a hundred flowers bloom", strengthens the strategic layout and systematic planning for new energy storage technology innovation, proposes the direction of technology research and development, and takes into account the optimal allocation of innovation resources; A green energy storage technology innovation system combining education and research

　　The "Plan" proposes to increase the research and development of key technical equipment, including sodium-ion batteries, new lithium-ion batteries, lead-carbon batteries, flow batteries, compressed air, hydrogen (ammonia) energy storage, thermal (cold) energy storage and other key Core technology and other key problems
.
Among them, the performance of electrochemical energy storage technology has been further improved, and the system cost has been reduced by more than 30%; new energy storage technologies such as thermal power and nuclear power unit extraction steam energy storage relying on conventional power sources, and 100-megawatt compressed air energy storage technologies have achieved engineering applications; Mechanical energy storage technologies such as megawatt-level flywheel energy storage have gradually matured; breakthroughs have been made in long-term energy storage technologies such as hydrogen energy storage and thermal (cold) energy storage
.

　　Experts said that energy storage technology has become the key to breaking China's energy transformation, so it must stand firm in technology
.
With the increasing demand for regulation capacity in the power system and the continuous increase in the scale of new energy development and consumption, especially in the context of the centralized construction of large-scale wind power photovoltaic base projects in the desert Gobi, the new energy storage construction period is short, the site selection is simple and flexible, and the regulation ability It has a better match with the development and consumption of new energy, and its advantages are gradually highlighted.
It is imperative to accelerate the large-scale application of advanced energy storage technology
.

　　It is understood that China is one of the major countries in the research and development and demonstration of energy storage technology in the world, and has reached the world's leading level in technologies such as sodium-ion batteries and compressed air energy storage
.
Facing the world energy technology competition, supporting green and low-carbon technology innovation, and accelerating the construction of a new energy storage technology innovation system are facing great opportunities
.
When the new energy storage industry has passed the R&D demonstration and entered the early stage of commercialization and is about to enter the stage of large-scale development, it is of great significance to issue an implementation plan in a timely manner, declare principles and clarify goals
.

　　Industry insiders said that at present the core of energy storage projects is still cost, and it is expected that the cost will continue to be reduced during the development and will gradually grow
.
"Reasonably dredging the cost of new energy storage" has become an important item of the "Implementation Plan", and a series of policy measures have been proposed, such as increasing support for "new energy + energy storage"
.
In areas where the proportion of new energy installed capacity is high and the system is under great pressure for peak shaving operations, we should actively guide new energy power stations to deploy new energy storage in a market-oriented manner
