Abstract

Abstract:

In the context of the global energy transition, the strategic development of the energy storage industry is of great significance to optimizing the national energy structure, supporting high-quality economic growth, and achieving the goals of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality. Based on a review of relevant literature, this paper summarizes the views of various experts on the current state and future development of the new energy storage industry and presents a detailed overview of the hierarchy and functions of the energy storage industry chain. It reviews the key challenges facing the industry, including the lack of comprehensive safety prevention and control technologies, insufficient industrial coordination, inadequate integration, and limited market demand. The study analyzes the important role of a digital intelligent platform in advancing industry development and introduces its fundamental framework. On this basis, a new development model of the energy storage industry chain driven by a digital intelligent platform is proposed. This model emphasizes (1) the innovation path of full-process safety technologies under platform empowerment, (2) the platform-driven "energy storage + safety" industrial integration pathway, and (3) the pilot platform-led market expansion pathway. These three development strategies aim to enhance enterprise collaboration, promote industrial integration, stimulate market demand, and strengthen innovation capacity. A comprehensive analysis suggests that the platform-driven development model and the "technology innovation-industrial integration-market expansion" path are conducive to deepening enterprise cooperation, integrating the energy storage sector with the fire safety and information technology industries, and achieving dynamic safety control throughout the entire life cycle of the storage system. This model offers a new path reference point for technological innovation, industrial transformation, and the commercialization of energy storage technologies. Furthermore, the application of rapidly evolving large language models into digital intelligent platforms is expected to promote cross-industry integration, elevate industrial intelligence, and boost the core competitiveness of the energy storage sector.

Key words: digital intelligent platform, new energy storage industry chain, development model, security technology innovation, industrial integration
