The intermittent nature of renewable energy poses challenges to the stability of the existing power grid. Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) that stores energy in the form of high-pressure air has the potential to deal with the unstable supply of renewable energy at large scale in China.
Energy storage projects in North China are currently the most in China. Due to the geographical environment, the power grid in Northwest China cannot supply power to all regions. Provide electricity to the people of the region through off-grid distributed generation and energy storage systems.
It also introduces the application scenarios of energy storage on the power generation side, transmission and distribution side, user side and microgrid of the power system in detail. Section 3 introduces six business models of energy storage in China and analyzes their practical applications.
China is currently in the early stage of commercializing energy storage. As of 2017, the cumulative installed capacity of energy storage in China was 28.9 GW , accounting for only 1.6% of the total power generating capacity (1777 GW ), which is still far below the goal set by the State Grid of China (i.e., 4%–5% by 2020) .
The decline in costs for solar power and storage systems offers opportunity for solar-plus-storage systems to serve as a cost-competitive source for the future energy system in China. The transportation, building, and industry sectors account, respectively, for 15.3, 18.3, and 66.3% of final energy consumption in China (5).
In this study, we developed an integrated technical, economic, and grid-compatible solar resource assessment model to analyze the spatial distribution and temporal evolution of the cost competitiveness of utility-scale solar power and its viable grid penetration potential in China from 2020 to 2060.
