The challenges of large-scale energy storage application in power systems are presented from the aspect of technical and economic considerations. Meanwhile the development prospect of global energy storage market is forecasted, and application prospect of energy storage is analyzed.
And more. The landscape for energy storage is poised for significant installation growth and technological advancements in 2024. Countries across the globe are seeking to meet their energy transition goals, with energy storage identified as critical to ensuring reliable and stable regional power markets.
Due to rapid development of energy storage technology, the research and demonstration of energy storage are expanding from small-scale towards large-scale. United States, Japan, the European Union have proposed a series of policies for applications of energy storage technology to promote and support industrial development [12 – 16].
The application scenarios of energy storage technologies are reviewed and investigated, and global and Chinese potential markets for energy storage applications are described. The challenges of large-scale energy storage application in power systems are presented from the aspect of technical and economic considerations.
Finally, we discuss some promising directions for the future study on shared ES. Energy storage (ES) plays a significant role in modern smart grids and energy systems. To facilitate and improve the utilization of ES, appropriate system design and operational strategies should be adopted.
Even if the energy storage has many prospective markets, high cost, insufficient subsidy policy, indeterminate price mechanism and business model are still the key challenges.
