"Due to the volatility of power generated from renewable sources, coal power will continue to play a supporting and guarantee role in ensuring energy security for a certain period," an official from China's National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) stated at a press briefing held last year.
The evolving landscape of electrochemical energy storage technologies, including batteries, supercapacitors, and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) systems, critically hinges on the innovative development of electrode and electrocatalyst materials.
Existing coal units can be repurposed for backup power, allowing coal power to retain a supportive role alongside BESS. In conclusion, for China's low-carbon transition, coal power with flexibility modifications serves as a temporary solution, while BESS offers a more sustainable long-term fix.
BESS is another flexible power option with significant potential for supporting the low-carbon transition. Among various energy storage technologies, BESS is the most favored and have grown rapidly in recent years in China.
