China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has set an ambitious goal regarding new energy storage systems. By 2027, a remarkable enhancement in the energy conversion efficiency of these systems is expected. This decision is part of a broader plan to drive the development of the new energy storage manufacturing industry to new heights.
This target will be achieved through a series of well - planned actions. Firstly, innovative actions for new energy storage technologies will be implemented. Diversified core technologies will be developed to meet the requirements of different time - scale electricity storage, such as short - term and long - term scenarios. This not only includes accelerating the upgrading of mature technologies like lithium - ion batteries and supercapacitors but also supporting disruptive innovations to improve the supply capacity of high - end products. Special attention will be paid to the engineering applications of sodium - ion batteries and flow batteries, as well as the development of long - duration energy storage technologies like compressed air. All these efforts will contribute to improving the energy conversion efficiency and the overall performance of new energy storage systems.
Secondly, in - depth integration of new energy storage with the next - generation information technology will be promoted. By optimizing the economic allocation of energy flows and information flows, efficient system integration and intelligent control of energy storage systems will be realized. Key research directions will cover system structure design, refined battery management, development of high - power and high - efficiency converters, efficient thermal management and energy management, integration of auxiliary equipment, and high - performance prefabricated cabins. These initiatives will enhance the intelligent and high - end level of new energy storage products and further optimize the energy conversion process.
Finally, multi - dimensional safety technologies throughout the life cycle will be tackled. A comprehensive safety management system will be established for the whole process of new energy storage systems, including production, operation, maintenance, and recycling. Research on the mechanism of thermal runaway and combustion failure will be strengthened, and intrinsic safety and control technologies of energy storage batteries will be broken through. Technical research on safety early warning and innovation in fire - fighting technology will be carried out, and the application of these technologies will be accelerated. An attempt will also be made to establish a technical system for safety grading evaluation. All these measures will ensure the stable and efficient operation of new energy storage systems and support the improvement of energy conversion efficiency.
