Battery Energy Storage System Market Analysis and Forecast to 2031: By Battery Type (Lithium-ion Battery, Lead Acid Battery, Flow Battery, Others), Connectivity (Off-Grid, On-Grid), Capacity (Small Scale (Less than 1 MW), Large Scale (Greater than 1 MW)), Application (Residential, Commercial, Utility), Storage System (Front-of-the-meter, Behind-the-meter), Ownership (Customer Owned, Third-Party Owned, Utility Owned), and Region
A battery energy storage system is an electrochemical device that charges or collects energy from the grid or a powerplant and then discharges that energy at a later time to provide electricity or other grid services when needed. Battery storage is an important technology that can enhance power system flexibility and enable high levels of renewable energy integration. Modern battery energy storage systems usually include a built-in inverter and computerized control systems that make them simple to install, largely maintenance-free and do not require any effort or expertise from the user. Battery energy storage systems have a wide range of applications for both commercial and residential purposes. Commercial applications include peak shaving, load shifting, emergency backup, and various grid services. Residential applications include self-consumption, off-grid homes and emergency backup.
Key Trends and Drivers
Solar and wind energy are the most prominent renewable energy types that are stored in grids. However, the concealing of the sun by clouds or fluctuating wind currents leads to variations in the process of energy generation. Such fluctuations create the requirement for flexible grid systems used to store energy. Battery energy storage systems are becoming an integral part of grid modernization. These systems help grid operators to save electricity when the electricity generated exceeds the electricity demand. The adoption of these systems improves the reliability and flexibility of electricity supply systems with respect to the generation, transmission, and distribution of electric power.
Restraints & Challenges
Battery energy storage technologies, including lithium-ion batteries, flow batteries, and lead-acid batteries, require increased installation investments owing to the high energy density and improved performance offered by them. Lithium-ion batteries are costly as they offer high energy density, have a low rate of self-discharge, and require less maintenance. However, in the future, the costs of lithium-ion batteries are expected to decline. These batteries are also used in electric vehicles (EVS) as they are lightweight and compact, as well as have a large capacity. Besides, the high initial investment cost required for the manufacturing of flow batteries can also act as a major restraint for the growth of the market.
