The National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration have issued the "14th Five-Year Plan for the Construction of a New Power System," which proposes to establish a number of independent new energy storage stations on the grid side that can support peak supply capacity. There will be an increased application of technologies such as grid-forming, fully unleashing the multiple capabilities of new energy storage for peak shaving, frequency modulation, voltage regulation, standby for accidents, ramp-up, and black start. During the "14th Five-Year" period, about 80 million kilowatts of independent new energy storage capacity that can support peak supply will be added nationwide, with an aim to achieve an equivalent peak duration of 4 hours. By 2030, the independent new energy storage capacity that can support peak supply will reach 140 million kilowatts.
