Crrc energy storage trend

What is CRRC doing in China?

CRRC established a fuel cell industrialization base in Jiangsu in the last quarter of 2019, and also announced that traditional locomotives would move towards renewable energy sources. At the same time, supercapacitor brake energy recovery systems at the station level have also begun to be applied at a large scale in China.

Will energy storage technologies become technologically mature in the upcoming decade?

These energy storage technologies have the potential to become technologically mature in the upcoming decade. On their side, emerging semi-conductor technologies and novel converter topologies can play a vital role in this process thanks to the reductions in mass and volume that they can achieve.

How much energy storage capacity does the energy storage industry have?

New operational electrochemical energy storage capacity totaled 519.6 MW/855.0 MWh (note: final data to be released in the CNESA 2020 Energy Storage Industry White Paper). In 2019, overall growth in the development of electrical energy storage projects slowed, as the industry entered a period of rational adjustment.

How CRRC has revolutionized internal combustion engine development?

CRRC developed hybrid technology equipped with supercapacitors and lithium titanate batteries has brought a leap forward for internal combustion engine development. CRRC established a fuel cell industrialization base in Jiangsu in the last quarter of 2019, and also announced that traditional locomotives would move towards renewable energy sources.

How big are energy storage projects?

By the end of 2019, energy storage projects with a cumulative size of more than 200MW had been put into operation in applications such as peak shaving and frequency regulation, renewable energy integration, generation-side thermal storage combined frequency regulation, and overseas energy storage markets.

How much energy does a hybrid storage system use?

The total weight of the hybrid storage system is 1646 kg, resulting in specific energy and power of 11.45 Wh/kg and 226 W/kg, respectively. The storage solution demonstrates effective energy savings and wireless operation capability up to 2.5 km.
