Advantages of lithium ion battery in energy storage field

Energy is an important material basis for human survival and social development, and an important cornerstone for national economy, national security and sustainable development. With the development of human society, human demand for energy is increasing, but the ecological environment is deteriorating, especially greenhouse gas emissions lead to increasingly severe global climate change, which has become more serious in recent years.

At present, China has become a major energy producer and consumer in the world, and the demand for energy in China is growing continuously. Therefore, it is urgent to adjust the energy structure: on the one hand, we should develop new energy to meet the demand, on the other hand, we should use renewable energy reasonably and effectively.

Driven by the strong demand for social development and huge potential market, new energy storage systems based on new concepts, new materials and new technologies continue to emerge. Energy storage technology is developing towards large-scale, high efficiency, long life, low cost and pollution-free.

1.Classification and development trend of energy storage technology

So far, people have proposed and developed a variety of energy storage technologies to meet the application in different fields and different needs. The global energy storage technologies mainly include physical energy storage, chemical energy storage (such as sodium sulfur battery, vanadium flow battery, lead-acid battery, lithium ion battery, supercapacitor, etc.), electromagnetic energy storage and phase change energy storage.

2. Market prospect of energy storage technology - lithium ion battery will be an ideal choice

According to the data of the Wind Energy Professional Committee of the China Renewable Energy Society, the cumulative installed capacity of wind power in China (excluding Taiwan Province) in 2009 was 25805.3MW. Then, according to the research and calculation of Guodian, China‘s energy storage industry has a market of 5161~7742MW. By 2020, the installed capacity of wind power and solar energy in China will reach 10 million kilowatts, and the market for energy storage batteries will reach 70 billion yuan. Energy storage products will become the most worthy of investment and the most abundant market area in the future.

Lithium ion battery is one of the most important achievements of high-tech research in recent 10 years, representing the most advanced level of chemical power development. Because this new system has significant advantages such as high specific energy, long cycle life and environmental friendliness, it has become the main supporting power supply for various advanced portable electronic products, and has absolute advantages in mobile applications. At present, the global annual demand for lithium ion batteries has reached 1.3 billion, with an annual sales of 27 billion dollars, and it is undoubtedly one of the leading players in the rechargeable battery market. With the research and development of new materials for lithium-ion batteries, the innovation of battery manufacturing technology, and the participation of many scientific research institutions and enterprises, the performance of lithium-ion batteries is increasing, the cost of batteries is decreasing, and the safety performance of batteries is also greatly improved. Lithium ion batteries are gradually showing application advantages in the field of electric vehicles.

Fuji Economy of Japan believes that lithium-ion batteries will gradually replace nickel metal hydride batteries in 2011, and lithium-ion batteries will undoubtedly be the mainstream technology route in the future. With the development and application of new materials such as nano lithium titanate and nano lithium iron phosphate, lithium-ion batteries will become the ideal choice for a series of major high-tech applications such as clean transportation and photovoltaic energy storage. At present, China National Grid Corporation is actively carrying out the test project of 10MW lithium-ion battery energy storage system, which will trigger a new round of investment in related manufacturing equipment and plants. At the same time, Many new manufacturers of lithium-ion power batteries and materials will make the technical competition in related fields more intense. Large capacity lithium-ion battery energy storage power stations will gradually rise on this basis.
