Strategy for Developing Energy Storage Systems in Vietnam’s State Energy Sector

In the context of Vietnam’s comprehensive energy transition, the adoption of advanced battery energy storage solutions plays a pivotal role in building a sustainable, safe, and efficient energy system.The Vietnamese government has clearly identified the development of energy storage systems as a key component of its strategy to reduce emissions, increase the share of renewable energy, and ensure uninterrupted electricity supply for critical national projects.

Policies and Programs for Energy Storage System Development in Vietnam

In the context of energy transition and Vietnam’s commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the Government has introduced a series of policies and support programs to promote the application of lithium-ion batteries, solar batteries, and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) in national and industrial projects.

Tax incentives, investment support, and advanced technology transfer have created favorable conditions for both private enterprises and state organizations to participate in the development of energy storage systems, contributing to a safer and more sustainable energy future.


Key Policies on Solar Energy and BESS Systems

  • Encouraging investment in solar projects combined with BESS, maximizing renewable energy efficiency and reducing grid pressure.

  • Preferential policies for importing high-tech components and equipment such as lithium-ion batteries, solar panels, battery management systems, and BESS components.

  • Developing smart grid infrastructure integrated with BESS to improve the reliability and stability of the national power distribution system.

  • Promoting technology transfer and R&D for local manufacturing of lithium batteries, BESS systems, and supporting equipment, reducing import dependence.


Advanced Energy Storage Technologies for Government and Infrastructure Projects

As part of Vietnam’s sustainable energy strategy, solutions such as lithium-ion batteries, lithium batteries, solar batteries, and backup batteries are increasingly applied in:

  • Industrial and hydropower BESS systems.

  • National critical infrastructure projects (data centers, hospitals, airports, industrial zones).

  • Large-scale renewable energy projects integrating solar and wind power.


Common Types of Batteries in Energy Storage Systems

  • Lithium-Ion Batteries (Li-ion): widely used, high efficiency, lifespan over 10 years, excellent safety.

  • Lithium Batteries: ideal for large-scale, high-capacity projects requiring durability, suitable for industrial backup systems.

  • Solar Batteries: integrated into storage systems to maximize renewable energy usage and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.

  • Backup Batteries: ensure power supply during emergencies, safeguarding critical infrastructure operations.


How Does a BESS Work?

A Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) is a core technology in Vietnam’s energy strategy. Using Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) batteries with high safety and a lifespan of over 10 years, BESS enables:

  • Storing electricity from the grid or solar power during off-peak hours when costs are low.

  • Redistributing stored electricity during peak demand, reducing operational expenses.

  • Stabilizing the national grid, minimizing the risk of blackouts.

  • Supporting higher renewable energy penetration, contributing to Vietnam’s Net Zero 2050 target.

Superior Advantages of BESS Compared to Traditional Backup Methods

In Vietnam’s national energy strategy, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) deliver significant advantages over traditional backup solutions such as fuel-powered generators.


Advantages of BESS Systems

  • Environmentally Friendly: No CO₂ or NOx emissions, contributing to pollution reduction and aligning with global sustainability standards.

  • Quiet Operation, No Vibration or Odor: Safer and more suitable for factories, public areas, and residential zones.

  • Low Operating Costs: No fuel requirements, minimizing both fuel and maintenance expenses.

  • Easy Maintenance: No complex moving parts, reducing the risk of breakdowns.

  • Automated Operation: Cloud-based AI management system limits manual intervention and human error.

  • Multi-Layer Safety Protection: Comprehensive design from battery cell to full system ensures reliable performance under all conditions.


Comparison: BESS vs. Traditional Generators

Criteria BESS (Lithium-ion Battery) Traditional Generators
Environmental Impact Zero emissions Emits CO₂, NOx, polluting
Operating Costs Low, no fuel required High, continuous fuel costs
