以“抱团取暖”式协同创新推动储能高质量发展

Core Viewpoint - The seminar on high-quality development of energy storage held in Baotou highlighted the importance of collaboration and innovation in the energy storage industry, emphasizing the shift from policy-driven to market-driven development in China [1][2]. Group 1: Industry Development - The "New Energy Storage Manufacturing High-Quality Development Action Plan" and Document No. 136 were key topics, guiding technological innovation and market-oriented transformation in the energy storage sector [2]. - By the end of 2024, China's installed capacity for wind and solar power is expected to exceed 1.45 billion kilowatts, accounting for 43% of the total installed capacity, surpassing thermal power for the first time [1]. - The total electricity generation from all types of power plants in China is projected to exceed 10 trillion kilowatt-hours in 2024, with wind and solar power contributing only 18.2% [1]. Group 2: Market Transformation - Experts noted that the transition to a market-oriented approach is beneficial for high-quality development but presents challenges such as disordered competition and incomplete market mechanisms [2]. - The establishment of the Large Energy Storage Ecological Innovation Alliance aims to create a comprehensive ecosystem and product lifecycle, driven by market demand [3][4]. Group 3: Talent Development - The energy storage technology field requires interdisciplinary talent, but traditional values and evaluation mechanisms hinder the willingness of composite talent to join enterprises [4]. - A flexible talent recruitment model was proposed to enhance the integration of industry and academia, fostering a workforce that understands both industrial and technological innovation [4]. Group 4: Collaborative Initiatives - The Large Energy Storage Ecological Innovation Alliance, consisting of 23 member units, aims to avoid low-level competition and promote collaboration across the supply chain [3]. - The alliance signed an agreement with the Baotou municipal government to develop a green energy microgrid and storage network, supporting the construction of a new power system [4][5].
