The major goal of energy storage is to efficiently store energy and deliver it for use. Renewable energy storage solutions increase system productivity and capture the unpredictable renewable energy supply, enabling quick and simple modifications to the electric infrastructure.
Thermochemical renewable energy storage technologies under development, such as flow batteries, are better suited for large-scale energy storage since liquid electrolytes can be stored in tanks. These systems can be swiftly recharged and have a long lifespan, although they typically have lower energy density.
In January 2022, the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration jointly issued the Implementation Plan for the Development of New Energy Storage during the 14th Five-Year Plan Period, emphasizing the fundamental role of new energy storage technologies in a new power system.
Energy storage systems operate on the principle of energy conversion and preservation. When renewable sources generate excess electricity, storage systems capture this energy through various mechanisms—chemical reactions in batteries, gravitational potential in pumped hydro systems, or thermal energy in molten salt systems.
