Why is energy storage more important than capacity?An individual new energy supplier’s demand for energy storage is often insufficient to support the development of pumped storage power stations, and cooperative development or partial leasing can be adopted. From the perspective of capacity and power, power is more important than capacity when energy storage is mainly used to suppress fluctuations.
How big will electrochemical energy storage be by 2027?Based on CNESA’s projections, the global installed capacity of electrochemical energy storage will reach 1138.9GWh by 2027, with a CAGR of 61% between 2021 and 2027, which is twice as high as that of the energy storage industry as a whole (Figure 3).
Why is energy storage important in a power system?Energy storage of appropriate capacity in the power system can realize peak cutting and valley filling , reduce the pressure caused by the anti-peak regulation of new energy units, and smooth the fluctuation of new energy output , , .
How much energy storage does China have in 2023?By the end of 2023, China had completed and put into operation a cumulative installed capacity of new type energy storage projects reaching 31.4GW / 66.9GWh, with an average storage duration of 2.1 hours. The newly added installed capacity in 2023 was approximately 22.6GW / 48.7GWh, which is three times that for 2022 (7.3GW / 15.9GWh).
