Energy Storage Project Application Model and Development Process

This document provides a comprehensive overview of energy storage project application models and development processes, focusing on electrochemical (lithium-ion) storage. It begins with the current status of global and Chinese energy storage markets, citing CNESA data showing cumulative installed capacity of 191.1 GW globally and 35.6 GW in China by end of 2020, with lithium-ion batteries dominating electrochemical storage. The document then reviews key energy storage policies from 2017 to 2021, including China's 14th Five-Year Plan emphasizing carbon peak and new power systems, and various provincial regulations encouraging photovoltaic-storage integration. It outlines the evolution from pilot demonstrations to commercialization, highlighting the need for technical standards, business models, and market participation rules. The content serves as a guide for stakeholders navigating the regulatory landscape and technical requirements for developing energy storage projects, particularly in the context of China's push toward carbon neutrality by 2060.
