With the development of society, energy storage batteries occupy an increasingly important position in society. As of the end of 2015, my country’s installed energy storage capacity was 22.8GW, accounting for approximately 1.7% of the country’s total installed capacity. It is estimated that by 2025, the energy storage battery industry will achieve large-scale development, form a relatively complete industrial system, and become a new economic growth point in the energy sector.

Energy storage battery market has broad prospects

Currently in the energy storage battery market, there are three main application areas: electric energy storage, household energy storage, and base station energy storage. Among them, the backup power supply field of communication base stations currently accounts for a large proportion, accounting for nearly half of the entire energy storage battery market:

Household energy storage has a large room for further development and expansion due to the wave of “energy households” initiated by Tesla. However, it is currently mainly concentrated in overseas regions such as the United States, Germany, Australia and Japan. The domestic energy storage is still in the early stage of development, and the market scale Relatively small, but the long-term development prospects are also not to be underestimated.

The current short-term momentum of the large-scale power storage market is relatively weak, but the long-term prospects are considerable. According to data released by the National Energy Administration, in the range of 2017-2020, the new construction scale of distributed photovoltaics totals 86.5GW , The annual leading base project is arranged to reach 8GW, and the new wind power construction scale in the same period totals 110.41GW. In addition, by 2020, the installed capacity of solar power generation is expected to reach 160 million kilowatts.

Overall, the current domestic energy storage battery market growth rate is still quite obvious. As of the first half of 2017, my country’s planned installed capacity of energy storage projects reached about 1,100 MW, excluding pumped storage power plants and heat storage projects. This also marks that my country’s energy storage development has entered a brand new period. In order to further accelerate the development of the energy storage battery industry, in October this year, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the Energy Administration jointly issued the “Guiding Opinions on Promoting Energy Storage Technology and Industrial Development”. Two steps”, by 2025, the energy storage battery industry will achieve large-scale development, form a relatively complete industrial system, and become a new economic growth point in the energy sector.
