The release of a new generation of liquid-cooled energy storage systems has attracted industry attention. This marks a breakthrough step in energy storage from design security, and application security, to operation and maintenance security. In recent years, under the new wave of power system construction, the scale of the energy storage market has exploded, energy storage enterprises have increased their layout, and new technologies and products are constantly emerging.

The key Energy storage with high performance and low cost has gradually realized localization. The level of energy storage system integration, battery safety, and Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations has been gradually optimized. Emerging energy storage technologies such as heat storage, seawater energy storage, compressed air energy storage, and Flywheel energy storage continue to emerge. The innovation of new energy storage technologies and products has further broken down technological barriers and enhanced the initiative of market competition.

the energy storage industry has gradually entered the stage of large scale development

The liquid-cooled energy storage system launched by Fetium has made a significant breakthrough in the safety and economy of energy storage battery cooling technology. At the same time, new Energy storage such as heat storage, hydrogen storage, seawater energy storage, compressed air energy storage, and Flywheel energy storage are also being promoted, and many new Energy storage application scenarios have been implemented. In January of this year, the first national advanced compressed air energy storage demonstration project in Zhangjiakou, Hebei Province, with a capacity of 100 megawatts, was successfully connected to the grid and entered the stage of live system debugging. The application of "frequency modulation first" of Flywheel energy storage successfully passed the acceptance before the grid connection.

Promote cost reduction and efficiency improvement

The innovative development of technology will directly promote the further reduction of energy storage costs. At present, the price of energy storage raw materials such as Lithium carbonate is rising constantly, and downstream energy storage users are demanding a price reduction, which has led to the increasing difficulty and pressure of cost reduction in the energy storage industry in recent years, and the problem of cost tapping has become increasingly prominent. The innovation of Energy storage is the main driving force to reduce the cost of energy storage.

On the one hand, technological innovation and development can effectively replace low-cost materials and reduce the upstream cost pressure of energy storage; On the other hand, technological progress can greatly improve the efficiency of energy storage systems, increase the service life of energy storage batteries, improve the power density of energy storage systems, and thus reduce costs.

Compared with traditional energy storage systems, the new generation of liquid-cooled energy storage systems has higher efficiency and lower costs. The charging and discharging capacity of the entire life cycle of the system can be increased by more than 6%, the annual utilization rate of the system can reach 99%, the heat dissipation power consumption can be reduced by more than 30%, the power density can be increased by 100%, and the initial investment cost can be reduced by more than 2%.

The overall efficiency improvement of energy storage systems will greatly reduce the cost of energy storage systems. Compared with traditional air-cooled energy storage systems, the standardized energy storage cost of liquid-cooled energy storage systems can be reduced by 15%. In the future, energy storage systems will have significant room for cost reduction in areas such as cooling technology, fire prevention technology, and system integration.

Expand application scenarios

At present, new Energy storage is developing rapidly, but there is still a gap between the existing technology level and the demand of the large-scale commercial market. There is still room for improvement in the industrial chain, supply chain, system integration technology, etc. At present, the power density of the energy storage system in use in our country is not ideal, the overall charging and discharging efficiency of the energy storage system in the whole life cycle are not high, and the level of energy storage safety management still needs to be further improved. In the future, the development direction of electrochemical energy storage should follow the principle of building energy storage systems with high density, high efficiency, low risk, low cost, and fast response to demand.

Energy storage has a wide range of applications and can be combined with new energy, urban emergency power, UPS lithium battery and other 5G base station backup power, border posts, Military-civil fusion, and many other aspects. When exploring the application direction of various Energy storage, we should aim at different energy storage application scenarios such as smart micro grids and Virtual power plants. Under the premise of balancing energy storage safety and cost, clarify the demand positioning and explore suitable energy storage based on application scenarios. Technology roadmap.

The characteristics and application scope of various Energy storage are different, so the application needs to be considered in combination with specific industrial development requirements and environmental characteristics. In the future, while realizing the diversification of Energy storage, we can also strengthen the intelligent upgrading of energy storage system integration technology, control technology, security management, etc., in combination with artificial intelligence algorithms, intelligent devices, etc., to further improve the security level.
