储能是智能电网、可再生能源接入、分布式发电、微网以及电动汽车发展不可或缺的支撑环节，但其产业链尚不成熟，特别是一些关键技术的开发还难以满足整个新能源产业的发展需要。分析了我国储能技术在发展中存在的主要问题、发展方向与政策支持，虽然各类储能技术不断实现突破，但短时期内还将存在“多种储能技术并存，共同发展”的格局，重点讨论了机械储能、电磁储能和电化学储能的特点和应用场合。目前国内有多家企业都在研制开发和应用这些新能源储能电池，对各类储能技术应用进展情况进行了介绍。

Energy storage is indispensable of development on smart grid, renewable energy, distributed generation, micro grid and electric vehicle, but the industry chain is not mature, especially the development of some key technologies is still difficult to meet the needs of the development of new energy industry. The direction, policy support and main problems existing in the development in the development of China's energy technologies were analyzed. Although all kinds of energy storage technologies continued to achieve a breakthrough, but a short period of time would also have “multiple storage technologies can coexist, and common development” pattern. Characteristics and applications of the electrochemical energy storage, mechanical energy storage, magnetic storage were discussed. At present, there are a number of companies in the development and application to these new energy storage batteries, on all kinds of energy storage technologies progress were introduced.
