Strengthening energy storage construction as power system transformation is underway

Second, we will strengthen the construction of inter-provincial and inter-regional transmission channels. Based on the contradiction between the uneven geographical distribution of my country's energy resources and electricity demand, we will strengthen the construction of inter-provincial and inter-regional transmission channels. At the same time, we will promote the construction of intelligent distribution networks that adapt to the development of distributed and microgrids, promote the complementarity and coordinated control of multiple energies such as electricity, cold, heat, and gas, meet the needs of distributed clean energy grid connection and diversified load electricity consumption, and promote energy conservation and efficiency improvement of terminal energy consumption.

The third is to strengthen energy storage construction. In view of the long planning and construction period of pumped storage and the fact that the power system is already facing insufficient regulation capacity, new energy storage technologies such as compressed air energy storage, flywheel energy storage, electrochemical energy storage, electromagnetic energy storage, heat storage, and chemical energy storage will become an important foundation for building a new power system, and are expected to play a key role in long-term balance regulation and safety support.
