6 FAQs about [Current power storage situation]

What is the future of energy storage?

Looking further into the future, breakthroughs in high-safety, long-life, low-cost battery technology will lead to the widespread adoption of energy storage, especially electrochemical energy storage, across the entire energy landscape, including the generation, grid, and load sides.

Is excessive energy storage a problem?

Spyros Foteinis highlights the acknowledged problem that an insufficient capacity to store energy can result in generated renewable energy being wasted (Nature 632, 29; 2024). But the risks for power-system security of the converse problem — excessive energy storage — have been mostly overlooked.

How to develop a safe energy storage system?

There are three key principles for developing an energy storage system: safety is a prerequisite; cost is a crucial factor and value realisation is the ultimate goal. A safe energy storage system is the first line of defence to promote the application of energy storage especially the electrochemical energy storage.

Is excessive energy storage a threat to China's power system?

But the risks for power-system security of the converse problem — excessive energy storage — have been mostly overlooked. China plans to install up to 180 million kilowatts of pumped-storage hydropower capacity by 2030. This is around 3.5 times the current capacity, and equivalent to 8 power plants the size of China’s Three Gorges Dam.

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.

Should energy storage be shared?

The energy storage operation need be guided by the market and sharing the independent energy storage mode should be considered. In the renewable energy stations side, energy storage originally designed for single-station usage needs to be transferred to a multi-station collaborative mode.
