EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) secures electrical energy from renewable and non-renewable sources and collects and saves it in rechargeable batteries
The remaining half is comprised primarily of batteries and emerging technologies, such as compressed air, flywheel, as well as thermal energy. These technologies, known as the “ new type ” energy storage in China, have seen rapid growth in recent years. Lithium-ion batteries dominate the “new type” sector.
"Key developments in energy storage technologies will play a pivotal role in integrating renewable energy sources and smart grids, thus enhancing the overall flexibility and efficiency of China's energy system," said Fei Zhi, vice-chairman of GCL Group.
To promote battery storage, China has implemented a number of policies, most notably the gradual rollout since 2017 of the “mandatory allocation of energy storage” policy (强制配储政策), which is also known as the “ new energy plus storage ” model (新能源+储能).
