HYDROGEN-BASED CLEAN ENERGY STORAGE

The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly emphasized accelerating the planning and development of a new energy system and increasing reserves and production capacity.

 

A new power system is a key component of the new energy system, characterized by renewable energy as the main power source. Its success hinges on the coordinated development of storage solutions with diverse functional roles, the adoption of large-scale, cross-regional peak-shaving technologies, and achieving power and energy balance across different time scales. Additionally, it integrates deeply decarbonized energy sources, aiming to ultimately achieve carbon neutrality.

 

As energy storage becomes an indispensable element of the source-grid-load-storage integrated power system, hydrogen storage has gained attention for its ability to provide long-term, cross-seasonal storage and versatile transportation options. Free from transmission and distribution network constraints, hydrogen storage can stabilize wind and solar output, follow planned output curves, provide peak-shaving auxiliary capacity, participate in demand response, and alleviate transmission congestion. It will serve as a critical supplement to the new power system.

Jiening firmly believes that the future of hydrogen lies in energy storage. Since 2013, Jiening has been deeply engaged in the backup power sector but has always seen greater potential in grid-side peak shaving and frequency regulation. Looking ahead, Jiening plans to integrate the hydrogen swap model with fuel cell systems and replaceable hydrogen storage systems to develop new peak-shaving power stations, playing a vital role in building the new power system.
