State Grid Corporation of China (SGCC), which operates roughly 80 percent of the nation's electricity grids spanning across 26 provinces, has unveiled plans to massively expand its battery storage fleet and pumped hydro storage capacity and thus help the nation move towards its decarbonization goals.
SGCC Chairman Xin Baoan said Wednesday in a commentary published in the state-owned People's Daily that SGCC aims to have 100GW of battery storage by 2030, up from 3GW today. This is a very ambitious goal, given that BloombergNEF forecasts that all of China will have about 96GW of battery storage by 2030.
V skladu s pet-letnim načrtom, objavljenim ta teden, namerava Kitajska do leta 2025 zmanjšati stroške shranjevanja baterij za približno 30 odstotkov, s čimer bo do leta 2030 utirala pot lokalnim industrijam, da bodo prevladovale na svetovnem trgu. Poleg tega petnajstih pet{ {4}}letni načrt, ki sta ga pripravila Nacionalna komisija za razvoj in reforme (NDRC) in Nacionalna uprava za energijo (NEA), posveča posebno pozornost skladiščenju stisnjenega zraka in predvideva, da bo ta tehnologija uresničevala inženirske aplikacije v enotah z zmogljivostjo 100 MW.
But SGCC's plans don't end only with battery storage, the grid operator is also planning to increase its pumped storage capacity from the current 26.3GW to 100GW by 2030. This builds on its announcement in January when it said it had commissioned the world's largest pumped-hydro facility. Located in Hebei province, the 3.6GW Fengning Pumped Storage Power Station consists of 12 reversible pump generating sets with a capacity of 300MW each and has a power generation capacity from storage of 6.612 billion kWh. To put SGCC's plans into perspective, China is targeting 120GW of operational pumped-hydro facilities by 2030, according to the NEA.
Poleg tega je Xin dejal, da SGCC načrtuje tudi povečanje svoje zmogljivosti za prenos energije med{0}}provincami ter podpiranje izgradnje sončne in vetrne energije na zahodnih puščavskih območjih. Na koncu je dejal, da si bo operater omrežja med drugimi tehnologijami prizadeval za uvedbo fleksibilnega enosmernega prenosa, virtualnih elektrarn, varnosti in stabilnosti velikih električnih omrežij ter ultra{1}}visokonapetostnih{2}} preklopnikov.
According to Xin, SPCC made these plans to align with the Chinese government's dual carbon goal to reach peak carbon emissions by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060. China's decarbonization policy has already created pressure on state-owned enterprises mandating energy storage with the order to build renewables-plus-storage projects introduced for the very first time by the NEA last April.
In terms of supporting policies, NEA, the country's major energy policymaking authority, has already launched a series of incentives and advisory documents with an eye on the interim goal to deploy 30GW of energy storage capacity by 2025. In addition, several provinces have also released policies supporting storage for renewable energy installations.
Toda kljub svojim načrtom za dekarbonizacijo Kitajska še vedno predstavlja velik delež svetovnega dodatka premoga. Nedavno poročilo, ki so ga objavili trije okoljski možganski trusti in lobisti, ugotavlja, da je Kitajska dom 55 odstotkov svetovnega plinovoda za nove premogovnike in skupaj z Indijo, Vietnamom, Indonezijo, Turčijo in Bangladešom skupaj predstavlja 82 odstotkov načrtov za nove elektrarne na premog.
