4 FAQs about New power system energy storage issues

What are the challenges in the application of energy storage technology?

There are still many challenges in the application of energy storage technology, which have been mentioned above. In this part, the challenges are classified into four main points. First, battery energy storage system as a complete electrical equipment product is not mature and not standardised yet.

Why is energy storage a problem?

The lack of direct support for energy storage from governments, the non-announcement of confirmed needs for storage through official government sources, and the existence of incomplete and unclear processes in licensing also hurt attracting investors in the field of storage (Ugarte et al.).

Why is energy storage important?

Energy storage is one of the most important technologies and basic equipment supporting the construction of the future power system. It is also of great significance in promoting the consumption of renewable energy, guaranteeing the power supply and enhancing the safety of the power grid.

What are the challenges faced by power source-network load storage?

With the rapid increase in the proportion of new energy, the construction and operation costs of all aspects of power source-network load storage will increase and the subjects of benefit distribution will increase rapidly, making coordination more difficult. The relevant challenges are shown in Fig. 11.
