Some recent energy storage projects
“Energy storage is a buffer pool for new energy power generation. Without energy storage, there will be problems in the matching of new energy and power grid.” China Energy Engineering Corporation Limited(601868) the relevant person in charge said that energy storage is an important support for building a new power system with new energy as the main body.
It is found that from the perspective of the new energy policies that have been issued in succession, most of the new energy projects require a corresponding proportion of energy storage.
In June 2021, China Energy Engineering Corporation Limited(601868) released the action plan (white paper) for practicing the “30.60” strategic goal of carbon peaking and carbon neutralization. The relevant person in charge of the company said that China Energy Engineering Corporation Limited(601868) focused on the “one center” of the “30.60” system solution and the “two basic points” of energy storage and hydrogen energy, focused on new energy formats such as pumped storage, compressed air energy storage, electrochemical energy storage and hydrogen energy, and established the core competitiveness of the whole industrial chain.
Central enterprises play an important role in the development of energy storage. In December 2021, SASAC issued the guiding opinions on promoting the high-quality development of central enterprises and doing a good job in carbon peak and carbon neutralization, requiring to accelerate the construction of pumped storage power stations with eco-friendly, mature conditions and superior indicators, actively promote the construction of projects under construction, actively carry out the construction of small and medium-sized pumped storage in combination with local planning, and explore and promote the integration transformation of water elevator class, Develop modern pumped storage industry.
application status of multiple parallel
“The pumped storage power station has many functions such as peak shaving, valley filling, frequency modulation, phase modulation, emergency standby and black start. Among many energy storage technologies, the pumped storage technology is the most mature and the operation is relatively stable.” According to the relevant person in charge, although there are many energy storage modes, from a horizontal comparison, pumped storage is one of the most economical operation modes at present.
At present, nearly 90% of China’s installed energy storage power comes from pumped storage. According to the statistics of Beijing Centergate Technologies (Holding) Co.Ltd(000931) industrial technology alliance, in 2020, the installed power of global pumped storage was 172.5gw, accounting for 90.3% of the total installed power of energy storage; The cumulative installed capacity of China’s energy storage is 35.6gw, of which the installed capacity of pumped storage accounts for 89.3%.
