Nandu Power Storage Power Station has been activated.

Not long ago, the “energy storage International Summit and Exhibition 2018” held in Beijing gathered leaders of industry leaders, experts and scholars, and representatives of many well-known enterprises at home and abroad. With the increasing maturity of the energy storage industry's application scale, safety and economy, the energy storage industry is rising as a new star in the new energy application industry. As an innovative innovator in the development of the domestic electrochemical energy storage industry, Chen Bo, President of Nandu Power, accepted the interview with Battery China Network during the summit meeting on the development status and industry prospects of the energy storage industry.

Large-scale commercial application conditions for energy storage projects are available

Whether the electrochemical energy storage can be widely applied or not is directly related to the development prospect of the energy storage industry. “The National Energy Administration is most concerned about the development of the energy storage industry, and whether it can be scaled up and applied,” Chen Bo said. According to him, the 160MW-class intelligent distribution network energy storage power station built by Nandu Power in Wuxi Singapore Industrial Park has been put into use. The energy storage power station is the largest commercial energy storage power station in the world. He said that the construction and operation conditions of the large-scale energy storage power station in Nandu are fully mature. The company will steadily promote the construction of relevant energy storage projects according to market demand.

The safety of energy storage systems is critical to grid systems. “The construction of the first demonstration power station of Nandu Power was completed in 2011. So far, Nandu Power has established more than 40 demonstration power stations and dozens of commercial power stations in China,” Chen Bo said. "This large-scale application and long-term inspection has proved that the reliability and safety of Nandu products are recognized by the grid company." Chen Bo added.

Chen Bo also said that whether the energy storage power station can be commercialized depends entirely on its economy: if there is no economy, the energy storage enterprise will not dare to push, the users are not willing to use it, no one will pay the bill, and the industry will not develop. .

Energy storage projects are currently concentrated on the user side

The current energy storage market is mainly concentrated on user-side projects, and Nandu Power is no exception. Through energy storage projects, customers can save electricity costs and improve business efficiency. Traditional power grids mainly meet the needs of people's livelihood, economic construction and economic development, as well as meet the needs of energy and power supply assurance. Economics is not the core task of traditional power grids, but traditional power grids also face problems such as power supply pressure and unreasonable resource allocation. The energy storage project technology currently applied on the user side is also applicable to the grid side, which can help the grid to improve economic efficiency and optimization, distribution of electricity resources.

Nandu power storage energy ladder use layout

Although the energy storage industry is still in the midst of a large-scale outbreak, the Nandu Power Supply has begun to think about the use of energy storage batteries. Nandu Power's product applications cover almost all types of battery applications from communication base stations, data centers, UPS, power industry to energy storage market. "We have a wealth of experience and examples in the use of this product ladder, and there are also layouts in the energy storage industry." Chen Bo revealed to the battery China network. However, he also said that because power storage is a large-scale use, the requirements for safety and reliability are very high, and the utilization of the energy storage industry still faces some technical problems.

When asked about Nandu Power Storage Products, Chen Bo introduced that Nandu Power currently promotes lead-carbon battery products in the domestic energy storage market, because the domestic market is mainly based on the capacity market, and there are fewer FM projects. Suitable, the overseas market is relatively random and the project flexibility is also very large.

In Chen Bo's view, the size of electricity price difference in the same region directly affects the application and promotion of energy storage projects. At present, the electricity price difference in different provinces in China is historically formed. In some provinces, the electricity price difference is large, which is more conducive to the commercial promotion of energy storage projects. However, some provinces have small electricity price differences, which is not conducive to the promotion of energy storage projects. This has also caused the difficulty of promotion of energy storage products when they are commercialized in different regions.

Social capital boosts the development of energy storage industry

With the upgrading and transformation of the global energy consumption structure, both Chinese energy companies and foreign energy companies are transforming into new energy sources, of which the energy storage industry is a direction of transformation. The capital market is also more concerned about this area. Chen Bo said that Nandu Power has already adopted social capital and bank funds to solve the funding problem through the energy storage power station investment fund. For the entire energy storage industry, he admits that with the entry of social capital, the development of the energy storage industry will gradually accelerate.
