Temple concave California seeking for manufacturers to provide $11 million to fund new energy storage technology

Editor's note: in the past decade, lithium battery energy storage market dominance, has dominated the California energy commission to seek a new type of energy storage technology, solar portal, providing $11 million to fund the lithium ion battery energy storage technology of energy storage. According to

in the December 2019 by a bidding activity, the California energy commission ( CEC） For the development of the lithium ion battery energy storage technology of energy storage vendors provide $11 million to fund.

the agency is looking for a group project based on emerging energy storage technology, and the other group is only focus on the customer side of electrolytic hydrogen energy storage projects. The application deadline is on February 4, 2020.

vice President of the American association of energy storage policy Jason Burwen said that solar energy equipment, the bidding is dominated by California 100% clean energy regulatory requirements and the demand for a variety of long-term energy storage technology. But some of the emerging energy storage may be a series of challenges in the market. M

Burwen said the lithium-ion batteries in the past decade has dominated the energy storage market dominant position, this is mainly due to the global surge in demand for battery electric vehicle market to lower the cost.

but the California energy commission ( CEC） Points out that California achieve ambitious clean energy not only to meet through the deployment of battery energy storage system, because its energy density, working life and pricing have been insufficient, solar panels, so within the scope of the state are difficult to achieve. The agency in the tender said in the book, as the increasing share of renewable energy in California's grid, photovoltaic (pv) grid, need to be more cost effective and high-performance energy storage systems, the need to expand into emerging energy storage technology.

and now it is time to adopt emerging energy storage technology, because the performance of the new energy storage technologies may be more than the existing energy storage technology, because a large number of energy storage devices in California is deployed in the last few years, and in the next 7 to 15 years and need to upgrade or replacement.

the California energy commission ( CEC） Is still in the research and development phase of the energy storage project funding. The first group of the lithium ion battery energy storage project will include fluid flow, the flywheel energy storage and thermal energy storage and energy storage technology such as compressed air energy storage & ndash; — Developers must display their energy storage facilities, how to improve the energy density and relative to the current energy storage technology to improve the flexibility, reliability, and affordability. In particular, the California energy commission ( CEC） Committed to seek than lithium ion battery more durable, longer life and safety of operation energy storage technology.

Burwen说:“价格; Discharge duration may be prompted California energy commission ( CEC） One of the main features of the tender, therefore, the next generation of energy storage technology has attracted great interest. ”

on the other hand, is the only focus of the second project converts electrolytic hydrogen storage technology from the laboratory prototype to field test, and its proposals must explain the commercial potential of energy storage system and price forecast. The two groups of projects are no fossil fuels should be brought into the proposed energy storage system.

Burwen说,“; These emerging energy storage technology is like a mirror, look closer to than it actually was. Also, we see some began to plan the lithium ion battery energy storage technology, has not yet been deployed. Last month, the British manufacturers Highview liquid air Energy Storage Power Storage company and the United States Energy Storage vendors Encore Renewable Energy, announced plans to establish the first American in vermont long Storage liquid air Energy Storage projects. ”

Burwen said that the lithium ion battery energy storage technology is essentially to catch up with the battery energy storage system as the goal, if lithium ion battery costs continue to drop in the next few years, the emerging energy storage technology will have to meet more stringent cost benchmark. Emerging energy storage technology developers still need to figure out how to for higher performance, For example, longer service life) Reap the rewards.

and he said, & other There is also a challenge, that is to make the investors to invest in new energy storage technology, solar panels, need to get enough investment and deployment. And for any new market entrants, this is a challenge. ”

the California energy commission ( CEC） Plan approval before June 10, 2020 of these grants, starting from June 30, the agreement until the end of 2023. Can both bidding sides before January 9, 2020, submitted to the agency problem in writing.
