Since last year, the province has made systematic efforts in improving the policy system, tackling key technologies, building major projects, and exploring application scenarios, and the development of the new energy storage industry has shown a booming trend.
Mou Zhiping stated that currently, Guangzhou has built a number of national and provincial energy storage innovation platforms, and the new energy storage industry in the city is showing a good development trend. Last November, the National Local Co construction of the New Energy Storage Innovation Center was officially approved by the national ministries and settled in Baiyun District, Guangzhou. This is the first manufacturing innovation center jointly built by the country and local governments, and it is also a landmark event for the innovative development of new energy storage in Guangzhou.
Pan Zhijun stated that new energy is a major opportunity for Baiyun District to achieve "lane changing overtaking". Currently, the scale of the new energy, intelligent connected networks, and new energy vehicle industries in the entire district has exceeded 50 billion yuan. Next, Baiyun District will strengthen the construction of the entire new energy industry chain, accelerate the introduction of a series of supporting policies, and make efforts from the three sides of power supply, power grid, and users to actively develop and expand application scenarios, striving to seize the high ground of industrial development.
Professional Report Focus: Development Path and Application Thinking of New Energy Storage
Rao Hong, an academician of the CAE Member, wrote a keynote report entitled "Thinking about the role and development path of energy storage in the new power system". He predicted that in 2030 and 2060, the scale of new energy storage in the Southern Power Grid region will exceed 30 million kilowatts and 95 million kilowatts. Rao Hong suggested that the "15th Five Year Plan" for power planning should be more clear and specific in energy storage planning, so that energy storage can truly become an indispensable element in the new power system and new energy system.
Professor Yang Yong from Xiamen University gave a keynote report titled "Decay Failure Mechanism and Life Prediction of Energy Storage Batteries". He pointed out that with the widespread application of energy storage batteries, higher requirements have been put forward for their aging and decay mechanisms as well as life prediction. From a research perspective, the future lifespan of energy storage batteries needs to be 15 to 25 years, and regular work (health) status inspections and maintenance will become an essential part of the operation and maintenance process of energy storage batteries.
