Abstract:

Major countries in the world have policies to support the large-scale development of energy storage to promote increase in renewable energy use, improve and optimize existing power systems, and improve overall energy efficiency. Energy storage in China is rapidly developing; however, it is still in a transition period from the policy level to action plans. This study briefly introduces the important role of energy storage in global green energy revolution and the development status of the global energy-storage industry. Moreover, it separates energy-storage policies at the national level in China from the aspects of industrial energy storage plans, incentive policies for energy-storage applications in the electricity market, renewable energy, clean-energy development policies, and incentives for new energy-efficient vehicles. Furthermore, the study analyzes China’s local policies from the aspects of energy planning during the “13th Five-Year Plan” period, operation rules for the peak regulation auxiliary market, local subsidy policies, energy-storage-coordinated renewable energy policies, and peak-valley tariff policies. Moreover, it addresses the recent change in the direction of the energy-storage policy for the State Grid and China Southern Power Grid and analyzes the primary problems existing in China’s energy-storage policy. Finally, this study suggests certain policy changes to promote the development of energy storage in China.
