Market Dynamics
Introduction
A device or a group of technologies that gather, store, and release energy for later use is an energy storage system (ESS). It entails changing electrical energy into another substance that may be retained and retrieved later. Energy storage systems are essential for achieving grid stability, balancing energy supply and demand, and maximizing the use of renewable energy sources.
Electricity, mechanical, chemical, thermal, and potential energy are just a few of the different types of energy that ESS can store. The energy that has been conserved can later be released into the system or grid to meet demand or provide additional services.
Market Drivers
The prime factors that are contributing to the demand are:?
- Increasing demand for continuous electricity supply and a growing focus on renewable energy is likely to boost the growth of the energy storage systems market.
- Governments have been compelled to invest significantly in sustainable future initiatives due to increasing carbon emissions and diminishing environmental circumstances. As a result, spending on infrastructure and the development of renewable energy sources has grown recently.
- The global market for energy storage systems is crowded with regional and international companies, which has disintegrated the landscape.?
Key technologies
Battery storage
Battery storage is the most popular technology for energy storage systems. Lithium-ion batteries are the industry leaders due to their high energy density, efficiency, and decreasing prices.
Pumped hydro storage
The oldest and most established energy storage technology is pumped hydro storage. In terms of installed capacity, it represents a significant portion worldwide. PHS functions by pumping water to a higher elevation using extra electricity and releasing it when electricity demand is high to produce electricity.
Thermal energy storage
Systems for thermal energy storage store energy and release it as heat. Changes in phase materials, chilled water storage, and molten salt storage are examples of TES technology.
Flywheel energy storage systems
Systems for flywheel energy storage hold energy in a rotor that spins and transforms it back into electricity as needed. FES has a long lifespan, high cycle capability, and quick response times. Frequency regulation and grid stabilization are two common, short-duration, high-power uses for it.
Key Players
The following are the key players in the energy storage systems market:
- Alstom
- BYD Co
- Dongfang Electric
- EDF
