2021年3月4日，中美能源合作项目(ECP)联合美国国家标准化机构（ANSI）、中国能源研究会储能专委会（CNESA）、美国贸易发展署（USTDA）、美国驻沈阳总领事馆和眉山加州智慧城市研究院(MCSCI)联合成功举办了电力储能国际标准研讨会。本次研讨会是能源标准系列研讨会的一个重要议题，吸引了来自储能领域、能源领域、标准领域及相关政府机构、研究机构共130余人通过线上和线下的形式参与此次研讨会。
2020年储能产业虽受疫情影响，但基于内生动力和外部政策及碳中和目标等利好因素多重驱动，储能装机逆势大幅增长。中国的储能行业已经从“商业化初期”迈入了“规模化发展”新阶段。中国和美国的储能发展在全球具有领先地位，技术、项目、标准、政策领域的国际合作需求在全球能源转型和碳中和的大背景下更凸显重要性。
此次会议由美国国家标准化机构中国首席代表许方先生主持，中国能源研究会储能专委会常务副理事长俞振华先生、美国贸易发展署东亚区主任Carl Kress先生、美国驻沈阳总领事馆总领事NancyAbella女士及中美能源合作项目董事会联席主席Mark Thurber先生做了开幕致辞，阐述了召开此次会议的初衷、合作背景和目标期望。
会议邀请了八位中美电力、能源和标准专家就储能行业的标准、技术、前景以及面临的挑战做了精彩发言。专家们就中国电力储能发展做了概述，解读了北美储能系统安全标准和法规，展望了自动化与虚拟化技术如何驱动的未来电力市场，分享了能源互联网储能技术、智能微电网、分布式能源、储能在电力行业、在IDC 行业和智慧城市电网里的一些最佳应用实践和案例。
本次研讨会通过邀请知名美国能源企业行业专家和中国能源智库专家深度分享剖析了清洁能源特别是电力储能领域的行业发展现状和未来趋势，希望能够通过搭建国际标准工作的交流和合作平台，持续专业地推动储能行业标注工作的国际化交流与合作。美国驻华大使馆商务处商务官员William Toerpe先生在总结中提到，储能标准对于环境、安全也有着很重要的意义，推广储能，保护环境，推动清洁能源的发展，可以更有效地应对气候变化；美国能源部中国办公室主任Stephanie
Duran女士在闭幕致辞中也指出，储能是一个新兴的动态的领域，所以需要不断的发展以及强化储能的标准来支持优质的技术的安全应用。随着储能技术不断的演化，行业现在已经有了更好的基础去推动标准的建设并且鼓励更有利于行业发展的监管政策出台，来推动清洁能源的发展。希望此次研讨会能开启后续在储能国际标准领域长期深度合作
Standard on Electrical Energy Storage Workshop is Held in Beijing
The Standard on Electrical Energy Storage Workshop is held sucessfully by US-China Energy Cooperation Program(ECP), American National Standards Institute (ANSI), China Energy Storage Alliance (CNESA), U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA), U.S Consulate General Shenyang and Meishan-California Smart City Institute (MCSCI) On March 4, 2021. As an important topic in the series of workshops on energy standards,this workshop attracted more than 130 participants from energy storage, energy,standards and related government agencies and research institutions via online and offline.
Although the energy storage industry has been affected by the epidemic in 2020, driven by endogenous power and multiple positive elements such as external policy and carbon neutral target, the installed capacity of energy storage has grown substantially against the trend. China’s energy storage industry has entered a new stage of “scale development” from the “initial stage of commercialization”. The energy storage developments of China and the United States have leadingpositions in the world, and the demand for international cooperation in technology, projects, standards, and policies is more important in the context of global energy transformation and carbon neutrality.
The meeting was presided over by Mr. Xu Fang, chief representative of American National Standards Institute in China. Mr.Yu Zhenhua, executive vice chairman of China Energy Storage Alliance， Mr. Carl Kress, director of East Asia region of US Trade and Development Agency，Ms.Nancy Abella, Consul General of U.S Consulate General Shenyang，and Mark Thurber, cochairman of board of directors of US-China Energy Cooperation Program delivered the opening remarks, describing the intention, cooperation background and expectation of the workshop.
Eight experts from China and the United States on power, energy and standards were invited to deliver speeches on the standards, technologies, prospects and challenges of the energy storage industry. The experts have summarized the development of electrical energy storage in China, shared and interpreted the safety standards and regulations of energy storage system in North America, outlooked how automation and virtualization technology can drive the future power market, and discussed some best practices and cases of the application of energy internet energy storage technology,smart micro grid, distributed energy, energy storage in the power industry, IDC industry and smart city grid.
By inviting well-known industry energy businesses in the United States and China’s energy think-tank experts，they share deep analyses in the field of clean energy, especially the current situation and future trends on electrical energy storage industry development, hope to be able to work through constructing the international standard platform for the exchange and cooperation, continuous promotion of the internationalization of energy-storage tagging work professionally exchanges and cooperation. Mr. William Toerpe,Commercial Officer of FCS of the U.S. Embassy in China, mentioned in hissummary that energy storage standards are of great significance to the environment and safety. Promoting energy storage, protecting the environment and promoting the development of clean energy can more effectively deal with climate change. Ms. Stephanie Duran, director of the U.S. Department of Energy(DOE) China office, also points out in the closing speech that energy storage is a dynamic and emerging industry in the US, China and around the world, necessitating continuous development and enhancement of energy storage standard for the safe application of high-quality technology. As energy storage technologies continue to evolve,industry is well positioned to establish and refine the standards needed to accelerate technology development, support the development of policies and regulations, promote the adoption of clean energy. It is hoped that the workshop series will open the subsequent depth of long-term cooperation in the field of energy storage international standards.
