PDF《Future of energy storage:》

7 1. Executive summary Low carbon sources of energy have significantly reduced storage characteristics in comparison to petroleum, gas and coal. There is therefore a pressing need to develop energy storage technologies (EST) and policy guidance in order to effectively integrate renewable energy sources into the grid, and to create reliable and resilient energy distribution systems. This report of a series of workshops jointly held by the Royal Academy of Engineering and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) highlights opportunities for the UK and China to work together to accelerate the development of important energy storage technologies and related policy, especially in the area of electrical energy storage relating to transportation and grid applications. Participants in the academies'

workshops identified the following actions as being essential to enable progress in the field of energy storage technologies in both countries: ? Develop more robust systems analysis and modeling. ? Accelerate the deployment of energy storage technology as a matter of urgency. ? Identify funding pathways for EST systems and related infrastructure, including examples of business and governance models. ? Actively encourage collaborative research in selected areas of frontier engineering science. ? Stimulate and recognise energy storage technology innovation through prizes, awards and scholarships. ? Establish a UK-China steering group to develop further collaborative activity. 1. 执行摘要 与石油、天然气和煤炭相比,低碳能源的可存储特性显著降低,因此迫 切需要发展储能技术 (EST) 并制定相关引导政策,以使可再生能源有效 并网,建立可靠的、适应性强的能源输配网络.根据英国皇家工程院和 中国科学院联合召开的一系列研讨会形成的这份报告,强调了中英双方 将共同努力加速重要储能技术及相关政策,特别是在与交通及电网应用 相关的电力储能领域的发展. 研讨会成员提出了如下措施,这些措施对于推动中英两国储能技术的进 步非常重要: ? 发展更强大的系统分析和建模能力. ? 将加快部署储能技术作为紧迫任务. ? 确定储能系统和相关基础设施的资助途径,包括商业和管理模式范 例. ? 积极鼓励在选定的前沿工程科学领域开展合作研究. ? 通过奖金、奖励、奖学金等形式激励和认可储能技术创新. ? 建立中英指导组制定下一步合作行动.

8 Royal Academy of Engineering The future of energy storage: technologies and policy

9 2. Policy context Two high-level workshops were jointly hosted by the Royal Academy of Engineering and the Chinese Academy of Sciences in

2011 to highlight areas where the UK and China might work together to accelerate the development of energy storage technologies (EST) and tackle key technical, manufacturing, commercialisation and policy barriers to the deployment of EST. The workshops reviewed some of the current drivers for national and regional policy on the development and deployment of energy storage technologies in both countries, with a particular focus on areas of electrical energy storage relating to transportation and grid applications. Over one hundred UK and Chinese experts from academia and industry participated in these workshops, as well as several senior UK and Chinese government stakeholders. Contributions and presentations are available online at: http://tinyurl.com/bwt5r6r This report is intended to capture the key messages delivered by participants at these workshops, and at a follow-up discussion with senior UK and Chinese stakeholders in London in February 2012. The views expressed here are those of participants and not of either national academy. Following the workshops, further initiatives in EST policy development we........
