Abstract:

Against the background of continuous and accelerated promotion of low-carbon energy transition, energy storage plays a pivotal role, serving as flexible regulating resources. The development of the energy storage industry has, thus, ushered in a major opportunity. To fill the gap created by the lack of evaluation standards for the energy storage industry, this study constructed the first comprehensive evaluation system for the high-quality development of the energy storage industry. This evaluation system is based on a comprehensive analysis of the connotation of the high-quality development of the energy storage industry. The aim was to provide a set of scientific and systematic evaluation tools for advancing the energy storage industry to promote its healthy development and to enhance the overall competitiveness of the industry. The evaluation result shows that the level of high-quality development of the industry improved at a relatively fast pace between 2021 and 2023. However, there remains a phased imbalance between the basic goals and the derivative goals, as they are not coordinated in terms of advancement. The main driving force comes from "promoting the construction of a modern industrial system" and "promoting the sustainable development of economy and society." The results of the obstacle model further confirm that "serving the transition and upgrading of the power system" is the core dimension constraining the high-quality development of the industry, and the obstacle degree of this dimension has been increasing. This dimension has always been ranked first in this regard. Other dimensions too suffer from key issues, such as the declining safety and stability of energy storage power plants, the weakening of the industry chain, the declining enterprise total factor productivity. These dimensions, too, warrant attention in the energy storage industry and must be solved. Finally, to further promote the high-quality development of the energy storage industry, a number of relevant suggestions are made.

Key words: energy storage industry, high-quality development, comprehensive evaluation, obstacle degree
