Market Dynamics

Electricity suppliers use battery energy storage technology to store excess power and make it available for future use. This increases grid flexibility and reliability, as well as the reliability of transmission, power generation and distribution solutions. Due to the rapid industrialization, infrastructure development, and continuous population growth over the forecast period, there is expected to be a high demand for uninterrupted electricity.

Rural electrification can be made easier by battery energy storage systems.

On account of an increase in in the number of battery storage system manufacturers throughout the United States, this regional market is expected to register significant growth. NextEra Energy, an American electric services company, has built a battery storage of 10MW energy capacity with a large solar power plant. It also provides clean energy via a solar-plus storage facility.

Lead-acid batteries have a high manufacturing readiness level and technology readiness level. However, they have a short cycle life. This is assuming that it is one cycle per day. Flywheel batteries are a relatively recent technology that competes with other types of battery technology. The flywheel battery storage segment is slated to continue to grow as a result of technological advancements and lower overall costs.

A major growth driver for the market for battery storage systems is the plummeting cost of lithium-ion cells. As lithium is the lightest element in nature, lithium-ion batteries are very lightweight. The non-aqueous electrolytes used in lithium-ion batteries allow for higher operating voltages than other products. The cost of lithium-ion batteries is the main limiting key factor in their growth. However, manufacturers have managed to bring prices down with new technologies.

Another major factor of growth in the market for energy storage systems is the growing acceptance of electric vehicle and hybrid vehicles by consumers.

Market growth may be hindered by other batteries storage technologies in the industry. There are many other energy storage options available, in addition to batteries. These include electrical, thermal and mechanical energy-based solutions.

Superconductors as well as capacitors can be used to store electrical energy. There are many advanced technologies in mechanical energy, including hydropower, flywheel and Compressed Air Storage (CAES). Pumped storage uses electricity to pump water to elevated tanks. The water can be used to propel hydroelectric turbines when electricity becomes available. The United States has greater hydroelectrically pumped storage capacities than battery storage solutions at its disposal.

Lithium-ion batteries offering high energy density, less maintenance, and having low rate of self discharge, and it is costly also.

Market expansion is expected to be driven by increased demand for distributed power storage devices in various countries and increasing renewable penetration.

Flywheels can store energy by rotating the rotating mass with an electric motor. The turbine then spins to generate electricity. The mass rotates within a housing with very little friction to reduce loss. Flywheels work well in performance-oriented applications that have many charge/discharge cycles.

Grid modernization is driving an increase in demand for battery energy storage systems. Solar energy and wind energy are the most popular renewable energy types that are stored on grids. The solar energy storage system uses a battery helps to manage renewable energy sources and to increase the power density .

In the next few years, the market for energy storage will be driven by growth factors such as renewable energy sector and the support provided by government regulatory policies and programs for energy storage (ESS), as well improving energy storage economics and renewable energy revolution.
