This paper sorts out relevant engineering cases at home and abroad， analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of physical energy storage and electrochemical energy storage in offshore applications based on three scenarios: the mandatory requirement of energy storage systems policy for large-scale offshore wind farms， energy storage for improving the penetration of offshore wind power into the grid for integrated development of offshore oil and gas and new energy， and energy storage for off-grid production of green hydrogen， green ammonia， and green methanol. Considering the technology maturity， safety， reliability， compactness， lightweight， economy， and other factors， the most suitable energy storage applied offshorely is still the LFP battery. In the future， considering the superiority of lithium titanate oxide （LTO） batteries in terms of safety， after the cost is reduced， the choice of LTO battery could be considered. But due to the low density of LTO battery， the volume and quality of the equipment are larger than that of LFP battery， and the layout of the offshore platform needs to be further considered. In addition， because there is no single energy storage system that can simultaneously have the characteristics of high power， large energy storage density， reliable safety， and long life cycle， the use of “flywheel+” and “supercapacitor+”hybrid energy storage system is considered， to maximize the shortcomings of a single energy storage method to make up for， to obtain a better performance of the energy storage system. In order to ensure the safety and reliability of new energy storage engineering applications at sea， it is suggested that further research and engineering application of technologies such as the intrinsic safety， safety monitoring and early warning of energy storage under the anti-sloshing conditions of floating facilities at sea should be carried out.
