As China advances its “dual carbon” goals, the “14th Five-Year Plan” period marks a critical phase for the new energy storage industry, which is expected to achieve high-quality development. The latest policies from the National Energy Administration have positioned energy storage as the “core regulator” of national energy security. It is anticipated that by 2030, the installed capacity of new energy storage in the country will exceed 200 million kilowatts, creating a trillion-yuan market opportunity.
In this context, Ankrey Electric leverages nearly 20 years of experience in power monitoring and energy management to introduce a comprehensive new energy storage solution that encompasses all scenarios of “source, grid, load, and storage,” helping commercial enterprises seize the opportunities in energy storage and achieve digital energy transformation.
Five Major Trends in the Development of New Energy Storage Industry during the “14th Five-Year Plan”
Safety and Intelligence will become the core competitive advantages of new energy storage. With the deep integration of artificial intelligence technology into energy storage, safety warning systems based on digital twins and intelligent operation and maintenance platforms will become industry standards. The Acrel-2000ES Energy Management System has integrated AI algorithms to monitor battery status in real time and provide precise early fault warnings, significantly enhancing system safety.
Diversification of Application Scenarios is a notable feature of energy storage during the “14th Five-Year Plan.” Energy storage applications are constantly expanding, from supporting large-scale power generation bases on the supply side to peak and valley arbitrage, dynamic capacity expansion on the user side, and emerging low-altitude economy energy storage and integrated power stations. Ankrey offers customized solutions for various scenarios, such as a complete set of monitoring and protection equipment for wind power and storage systems, significantly improving wind power utilization.
Technological Diversity will reshape the industry landscape. In addition to mainstream lithium batteries, other long-duration storage technologies such as sodium-ion batteries, flow batteries, and solid-state batteries will accelerate commercialization. Ankrey’s series of DC metering products can accommodate multiple energy storage technology routes, meeting precise measurement needs in different scenarios.
Market Reform creates profit opportunities for energy storage. With the full opening of the spot market, energy storage can generate revenue through peak and valley arbitrage and ancillary services. The Ankrey Smart Energy Management Platform supports businesses in participating in demand response, automatically optimizing charging and discharging strategies to maximize energy storage economics.
Global Expansion is a necessary choice for leading enterprises. During the “14th Five-Year Plan,” Chinese energy storage companies will accelerate their international presence to capture markets in Europe, America, and along the Belt and Road Initiative. Ankrey’s products have received multiple international certifications, providing global clients with energy storage system solutions that comply with local standards.
Ankrey’s New Energy Storage Product System and Application Value
Ankrey’s core strength lies in its commercial energy storage solutions. Addressing user-side demands such as peak and valley arbitrage, demand management, and emergency backup power, Ankrey offers a one-stop service ranging from hardware equipment to software platforms:
- Acrel-2000ES Energy Management System: Serving as the “brain” of the energy storage system, it can monitor the operational status of PCS, BMS, meters, and fire protection equipment in real time. It supports advanced functions such as planning curves, peak shaving, and valley filling, helping commercial users implement dual charging and discharging strategies to enhance energy storage returns.
- High-precision DC Metering Series: This includes embedded meters like the PZ72L-DE and wall-mounted meters such as the DJSF1352, which can accurately measure voltage, current, power, and bidirectional energy, providing a data foundation for energy management. The products feature RS-485 communication interfaces and support the Modbus-RTU protocol, facilitating system integration.
- Enterprise Microgrid Efficiency Management Platform: Compliant with Jiangsu Province’s “Data Access Specifications for New Power Load Management Systems,” this platform can coordinate and optimize distributed energy sources like photovoltaics, storage, and charging piles, reducing enterprise electricity demand and costs while supporting participation in grid demand response for additional revenue.
In the field of energy storage supporting renewable energy, Ankrey provides a complete set of protection and monitoring products for wind power and storage systems, addressing the challenges of wind power variability and grid stability. Its monitoring system can collect real-time operational data from wind turbines and collaborate with the storage system to smooth power fluctuations, improving wind power utilization.
For the residential energy storage market, Ankrey has developed bidirectional metering meters and anti-backflow control systems, helping homeowners enhance photovoltaic self-consumption rates and achieve optimal economic operation of “photovoltaics + storage.”
Three Recommendations for Seizing Energy Storage Opportunities during the “14th Five-Year Plan”
First, prioritize deployment in areas with high electricity price differentials. With the advancement of the electricity spot market, provinces like Guangdong and Zhejiang already exhibit commercial value in peak and valley price differentials. The Ankrey Smart Energy Platform can automatically optimize charging and discharging strategies based on real-time electricity price data, ensuring project investment returns.
Second, focus on system safety and intelligence. During the “14th Five-Year Plan,” safety standards for energy storage will tighten, and enterprises should select suppliers with comprehensive BMS/EMS systems. Ankrey’s products have passed multiple safety certifications, and its AI warning system can reduce operational risks.
Third, explore diverse profit models. In addition to peak and valley arbitrage, capacity leasing, demand response, and green certificate trading will also become sources of energy storage revenue. The Ankrey platform supports data monitoring and strategy optimization for various revenue models, helping users maximize profits.
As the new energy storage industry flourishes during the “14th Five-Year Plan,” Ankrey will continue to deepen technological innovation and enhance its product system, providing partners with safer, more efficient, and smarter energy storage solutions to jointly promote the green and low-carbon transformation of energy.
