Grid Scale Battery Market: Current Analysis and Forecast (2021-2027)
Global grid scale battery market is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 25% during the forecast period (2021-2027). Battery storage is one of several technology options that can enhance power system flexibility and enable high levels of renewable energy integration. Grid scale battery is known as battery energy storage system (BEES) that charges (or collects energy) from the grid or a power plant and then discharges that energy later to provide electricity or other grid services when needed. Therefore, factors such as increasing needs for system flexibility, combined with rapid decreases in the costs of battery technology, have enabled BESS to play an increasing role in the power system in recent years.
Moreover, increasing awareness among consumers regarding effective energy consumption coupled with rising demand to save extra energy produced at the grid location with effective load supervision is expected to play a key role in driving the demand. Also, ascending demand from grids, on account of rising need for distributed energy integration with the grid, is likely to propel the market growth over the forecast period.
Some of the major players operating in the market are Panasonic Corporation, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Ltd., Samsung SDI Co. Ltd., BYD Co. Ltd., LG Chem Ltd., Hitachi Ltd., NGK Insulators Ltd., Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd., Fluence, and Tesla. Several M&As along with partnerships have been undertaken by these players to facilitate customers with hi-tech and innovative products/technologies.
