The National Development and Reform Commission, the National Energy Administration, and the National Data Bureau have recently jointly issued the "Action Plan for Accelerating the Construction of a New-Type Power System (2024-2027)", proposing to carry out nine special actions from 2024 to 2027 to advance the construction of a new-type power system and achieve practical results.

These include: power system stability and security action, large-scale high-proportion new energy transmission breakthrough action, distribution network high-quality development action, intelligent scheduling system construction action, new energy system friendly performance improvement action, new generation of coal power upgrade action, power system regulation capacity optimization action, electric vehicle charging facility network expansion action, and demand-side collaborative capacity enhancement action.

The action to optimize the power system's regulatory capacity proposes exploring the application of a batch of new energy storage technologies. Focusing on the needs for ramp rates, capacity, long-term scale regulation, and economic and safety requirements in different application scenarios, explore the construction of a batch of energy storage power stations with various technological routes such as flow batteries, flywheels, compressed air energy storage, gravity energy storage, carbon dioxide energy storage, liquid air energy storage, sodium-ion batteries, and lead-carbon batteries. Guide market-oriented investment and operation of new-type energy storage power stations through reasonable policy mechanisms.
