CNESA plays a leading role in the formulation and revision of national, industrial, and group standards for the energy storage industry.

Working with top research institutes, enterprises, and international organizations, we develop scientific and forward-looking technical standards to ensure safety, reliability, and sustainable development of energy storage technologies.

In 2025, CNESA contributed to the establishment and release of seven new standards, covering liquid nitrogen fire suppression, lithium-ion battery safety, carbon footprint quantification, and sodium-ion systems.

The Alliance also collaborated on IEC and NFPA international safety codes, promoting global harmonization of energy storage standards.

CNESA leads the National Key Project on Lithium-ion Battery Energy Storage Safety Evaluation, developing AI- and data-driven models to assess system reliability and prevent failures.

Through 29 case studies, the project defined methodologies for thermal safety failure analysis and classification, improving national standards for battery health assessment.

The CNESA Standards Committee works closely with specialized branches and expert groups, including the Flow Battery, Power Market, and Long-duration Energy Storage Committees.

With over 700 member organizations and 30 full-time staff, CNESA provides strong institutional support for standardization, research, and policy integration.
