Abstract:

This paper provides a comprehensive review of the research progress in China's energy storage technology in 2024. By reviewing and analyzing fundamental study, technical research, and integrated demonstration, the major technological advancements in China's energy storage field in 2024 are summarized. These encompass pumped hydro storage, compressed air energy storage, flywheel energy storage, lead-acid batteries, lithium-ion batteries, flow batteries, sodium-ion batteries, supercapacitors, emerging energy storage technologies, integration technologies, and fire safety technologies. A comprehensive analysis indicates that China's energy storage sector has once again experienced a year of rapid development, with significant achievements made in fundamental research, key technologies, and integrated demonstrations. China maintains its position as the most active country globally in all the three fields of fundamental research, technology development, and integrated demonstrations in energy storage. Chinese institutions and scholars rank first in the world in the number of SCI-indexed publications, WIPO international patent applications, and the newly added installed capacity in the energy storage field. Moreover, the installed power of new energy storage technologies has surpassed that of pumped hydro storage for the first time, marking a historic milestone. Overall, China's energy storage has achieved large-scale development in 2024.
