Dramatic cost declines in solar and wind technologies, and now energy storage, open the door to a reconceptualization of the roles of research and deployment of electricity production, transmission, and consumption that enable a clean energy transition 5, 6.
The research landscape of wind energy technology is characterized by extensive efforts to enhance energy capture and stabilize the intermittent power generation.
In tandem, the development of sophisticated control systems and energy storage technologies enables seamless synchronization of intermittent wind resources with demand fluctuations. Despite recent progress towards these goals, several challenges persist, such as turbine scaling, offshore installations, and resource distribution analytics.
Storage enables electricity systems to remain in balance despite variations in wind and solar availability, allowing for cost-effective deep decarbonization while maintaining reliability. The Future of Energy Storage report is an essential analysis of this key component in decarbonizing our energy infrastructure and combating climate change.
Work towards improving wind energy harvesting includes advancements in turbine design for optimized aerodynamics and new materials exploration to boost reliability and cost-effectiveness of turbines.
Long duration energy storage technologies can include mechanical (for example, pumped hydro and compressed air energy storage), electrochemical (for example, sodium–sulfur batteries and vanadium redox flow batteries), chemical (for example, hydrogen and ammonia storage),and thermal (for example, molten salts and salt hydrates) approaches 6.

The application of energy storage technology in power system can postpone the upgrade of transmission and distribution systems, relieve the transmission line congestion, and solve the issues of power system security, stability and reliability.
The application scenarios of energy storage technologies are reviewed and investigated, and global and Chinese potential markets for energy storage applications are described. The challenges of large-scale energy storage application in power systems are presented from the aspect of technical and economic considerations.
Because storage technologies will have the ability to substitute for or complement essentially all other elements of a power system, including generation, transmission, and demand response, these tools will be critical to electricity system designers, operators, and regulators in the future.

In recent years, both engineering and academic research have grown at a rapid pace, which lead to many achievements. Due to rapid development of energy storage technology, the research and demonstration of energy storage are expanding from small-scale towards large-scale.
Even if the energy storage has many prospective markets, high cost, insufficient subsidy policy, indeterminate price mechanism and business model are still the key challenges.

Energy storage first passed through a technical verification phase during the 12th Five-year Plan period, followed by a second phase of project demonstrations and promotion during the 13th Five-year Plan period. These phases have laid a solid foundation for the development of technologies and applications for large-scale development.
Breakthroughs have been made in a variety of energy storage technologies. Lithium-ion battery development trends continued toward greater capacities and longer lifespans. CATL developed new LiFePO batteries which offer ultra long life capabilities, while BYD launched "blade" batteries to further improve battery cell capacities.
