但我们还需警惕过于乐观的市场，因为现存的一些障碍可能会成为储能行业迅猛发展的绊脚石。

But the storage community needs to guard against excessive bullishness as there are significant obstacles that could stop the storage sector from fulfilling its undoubted potential.

接下来依次分析：

Let’s take these in turn:

1.并网问题

1.Grid connection problems

储能项目的并网连接问题可能需要数年、甚至超十年才能解决。能源咨询公司Regen的首席执行官Merlin Hyman最近在下议院商业、能源和工业战略委员会（BEIS委员会）的口头听证会上表示，并网连接问题是所有业内人士关注的问题。他补充道：“在全国大部分地区，你申请新的太阳能发电站、电池、氢电解槽和大型电动汽车充电站，你将在15年后获得并网许可。而我们的（储能）目标比那还要早，这对整个能源转型计划来说显然是一个巨大的问题。”在同一听证会上，Centrica氢能公司负责人Will Mezzullo简洁的概况了现状：“目前，并网是受到严格限制的。他们根本不可能在电池系统或新能源系统网中投入更多。”

Securing a grid connection for an energy storage project can take years, sometimes even more than a decade. Merlin Hyman, chief executive of energy advisory business Regen, recentlytold a House of Commons Business Energy and Industrial Strategy Committee oral evidence hearingthat grid connection was the key issue that everyone in the clean energy sector wanted to talk about. He added: “If you apply with a new solar farm, battery, hydrogen electrolyser, large-scale EV charger in most parts of the country, you will get a connection date in 15 years’ plus time. Given our [energy storage] targets are rather earlier than that, that is clearly a huge problem now for the whole net zero transition.” At the same hearing, Will Mezzullo, head of hydrogen at Centrica, summed it up succinctly: “At the moment, the grid is absolutely constrained. They physically can put hardly any more gridscale batteries or renewables on the network.”
