据油价网3月6日消息称，Wood Mackenzie和美国储能协会(ESA)在其最新的《美国储能监测报告》中表示，美国能源存储在2020年最后一个季度蓬勃发展，新增储能系统达到创纪录的2156兆瓦时，比第三季度大幅增长182%。
报告称，得益于价格的下降和存储部署障碍的减少，FTM存储在美国蓬勃发展。
2020年第四季度安装的每5兆瓦中就有4兆瓦是FTM存储，在该季度部署的651兆瓦存储总量中，FTM存储贡献了529兆瓦。
分析人士称，美国存储市场预计到2025年新增的存储量将是2020年的5倍，FTM存储每年将继续贡献75%至85%的新增存储量。
随着太阳能和风能在电力结构中的比重不断上升，美国的储能安装量也将增加，因为储能对确保更多的太阳能和风能发电至关重要。
ESA在2020年8月的白皮书中说，到2030年，美国有可能部署100吉瓦的新能源储存。

U.S. Energy Storage Installations Up 183% In Q4 2020
U.S. energy storage boomed in the last quarter of 2020, with record 2,156 megawatt-hours (MWh) of new energy storage systems brought online, up by a massive?182 percent compared to the third quarter, Wood Mackenzie and the U.S. Energy Storage Association (ESA) said in their latest US Energy Storage Monitor report.
Front-of-meter (FTM) storage is booming in the United States, thanks to falling prices and falling barriers to storage deployment, according to the report.
Four out of every five megawatts (MW) installed in the fourth quarter of 2020 were FTM storage, and this segment contributed 529 MW out of the total 651 MW of storage deployed during the quarter.
The U.S. storage market is expected to add five times more MW of storage in 2025 than was added in 2020, with FTM storage continuing to contribute 75-85 percent of new MW in each of those years, the analysts say.
Alongside rising shares of solar and wind power in the electricity mix, the U.S. is set to see increased energy storage installation as storage is critical to ensuring more solar and wind power generation.
America has the potential to see 100 GW of new energy storage deployed by 2030, ESA said in a white paper in August 2020.
