据油价网2021年8月20日报道，美国能源信息署(EIA)本周在一份报告中称，美国去年的大规模电池电力储存能力跃升了35%，达到1650兆瓦(MW)，而且过去几年的显著增长还将继续。
报告显示，美国的大规模电池电力储存能力在过去五年中增长了两倍。
在未来几年里，这种指数级增长还将继续。根据EIA的估计，公用事业公司已经报告，计划在今年到2023年期间在美国安装超过1万兆瓦的大规模电池储电能力。 新电池的储电能力将是2019年的10倍。
EIA称，电池系统与太阳能发电项目共存或连接的太阳能+储能项目，在最近的大规模新电池储电能力中占了很大一部分。
EIA发现，截至2020年12月，5个州占美国电池储电能力的70%以上。 这些州分别是加利福尼亚州、德克萨斯州、伊利诺伊州、马萨诸塞州和夏威夷州。
不出所料，加州的电池储电能力占最大的份额，占全美总电池储电能力的31%或506兆瓦。 德克萨斯州、伊利诺斯州、马萨诸塞州和夏威夷州各有超过50兆瓦的大型电池储电能力。
根据伍德麦肯兹和美国能源存储协会(ESA)发布的《美国能源存储监测报告》，2021年第一季度，美国总共有910兆瓦时(MWh)的新能源存储系统上线。 这比2020年第一季度增长了252%，成为美国储存市场迄今为止最大的一个季度。
美国生态学会暂时首席执行官杰森·布尔文说：“很明显，储能市场将在2021年及以后实现巨大增长。 随着电力和运输系统的转型，以及对脱碳和恢复能力日益增长的需求，‘储能十年’即将到来。”

U.S. Large-Scale Battery Storage Capacity Is Booming
Large-scale battery power capacity in the United States jumped by 35 percent last year to reach 1,650 megawatts (MW), and the significant growth of the past few years is set to continue, the Energy Information Administration (EIA) said in a report this week.
U.S. large-scale battery capacity has tripled over the past five years, the report showed.
The exponential growth is set to continue over the next few years—as per EIA estimates, utilities have reported plans to install over 10,000 MW of additional large-scale battery power capacity in the United States between this year and 2023. This new battery power capacity would be 10 times the capacity in 2019.
Solar-plus-storage projects, where the battery systems are co-located with or connected to solar power generation projects, have accounted for much of the recent new large-scale battery capacity, the EIA said.
The Administration found that five states accounted for more than 70 percent of U.S. battery storage power capacity as of December 2020. These were California, Texas, Illinois, Massachusetts, and Hawaii.
Unsurprisingly, California had the largest share of installed battery capacity, at 31 percent, or 506 MW, of the total in the United States. Texas, Illinois, Massachusetts, and Hawaii each have more than 50 MW of installed large-scale battery power capacity.
During the first quarter of 2021, a total of 910 megawatt-hours (MWh) of new energy storage systems were brought align="justify"> “It’s clear that the energy storage market is poised for tremendous growth in 2021 and beyond. The ‘Storage Decade’ is upon us with the convergence of a transforming power and transportation system, and the growing need for decarbonisation and resilience,” said Jason Burwen, ESA Interim CEO.
