1. Overview of Energy Storage Technology

Energy storage technology stores excess or unused electrical energy through lithium-ion Battery Packs and releases it for use during peak hours or in energy-deficient areas. Its main application areas include:

Home energy storage: such as solar home energy storage system, portable energy storage power supply, etc.

Commercial energy storage: such as microgrids, new energy vehicle charging stations, wind power generation systems, etc.

Communication energy storage: such as communication base station backup power supply, data center energy storage, etc.

New energy field: such as smooth output and “peak shaving and valley filling” of wind power and photovoltaic power generation.

In the future, energy storage systems may also undertake the secondary utilization of on-board power lithium-ion battery packs, further expanding their scope of application.

2. Application of lithium-ion battery packs in household energy storage

The home energy storage system provides users with safe, reliable and sustainable energy through lithium-ion battery packs, significantly improving the quality of life. Its main features include:

System Classification:
Grid-connected home energy storage system: connected to the power grid, composed of a photovoltaic grid-connected system, inverter, BMS management system, lithium-ion battery pack and AC load. When the mains power is normal, the photovoltaic system and the mains power are jointly powered; when the mains power is interrupted, the energy storage system and the photovoltaic system work together to supply power.

Off-grid home energy storage system: operates independently, has no electrical connection to the grid, and only requires a photovoltaic inverter to meet demand.

Product Type: Solar household energy storage power supply, portable energy storage battery, outdoor energy storage power supply, etc.
Supports multiple voltage customization such as 12V, 24V, 48V, etc. to meet the needs of different families.

Advantages:The service life is more than 10 years.
Modular design supports flexible parallel connection of multiple energy storage units to improve energy storage and utilization efficiency.

3. Application of lithium-ion battery packs in commercial energy storage

The application of energy storage technology in the commercial field is closely related to the development of new energy and grid optimization. The main scenarios include:

Microgrid:
A small power generation and distribution system consisting of distributed power sources, energy storage devices, energy conversion devices, etc.
Energy storage systems can integrate the advantages of distributed power generation, improve the utilization rate of renewable energy, and enhance grid stability.

New energy vehicle charging station:
Photovoltaic power generation and energy storage systems are used to power charging stations to form a microgrid.
It supports both grid-connected and off-grid operation modes, alleviating the impact of high-current charging on the power grid.
Supporting energy storage facilities can help improve the power quality of the power grid and expand the coverage of charging stations.

Wind power generation system:
Lithium-ion battery energy storage systems can smooth out wind power fluctuations, improve power quality, and ensure stable operation of the power grid.
Improve the controllability of wind farm output power and promote the utilization of wind energy.

Communications:
Lithium iron phosphate battery packs are widely used in communication backup power supplies and are suitable for scenarios such as indoor coverage, blind spot coverage, and short-term backup power supplies.
In the era of big data, lithium-ion battery backup power supplies play an increasingly important role in space-constrained scenarios such as shared sites and central computer room expansion.

4. Market Prospects and Outlook

Short-term trend: The energy storage industry is about to enter a period of rapid growth, with government subsidy policies and investment from power companies being the main driving forces.

Long-term forecast: By 2020, the market penetration rate of lithium-ion battery packs for energy storage is expected to reach 5%-10%, and the installed capacity of battery energy storage is expected to exceed 5GW, with an average annual compound growth rate of 120%.
