The latest dynamic analysis report of energy storage industry

How will energy storage systems impact the C&I sector?

So, the C&I sector is likely to use energy storage systems more and more to increase the amount of renewable energy it uses. This will create big opportunities for ESS providers in the future. Asia-Pacific was the largest market in the world in 2021. This was because countries like China, South Korea, and India needed more energy storage systems.

How did energy storage grow in 2022 & 2023?

The US utility-scale storage sector saw tremendous growth over 2022 and 2023. The volume of energy storage installations in the United States in 2022 totaled 11,976 megawatt hours (MWh)—a figure surpassed in the first three quarters of 2023 when installations hit 13,518 MWh by cumulative volume.

What are the emerging technologies for energy storage?

There are a range of emerging technologies including sodium-ion (Na-ion), hydrogen, and long-duration energy storage (LDES) that have significant potential. Na-ion batteries, for instance, offer a reduced environ-mental impact and safety benefits relative to lithium.

What technologies are used in energy storage systems?

TECHNOLOGY RISKS: While lithium-ion batteries remain the most widespread technology used in energy storage systems, these systems also use hydrogen, compressed air, and other battery technologies. The storage industry is also exploring new technologies capable of providing longer-duration storage to meet different market needs.

Which energy storage systems are prone to rapid degradation?

Energy storage systems that engage in heavy arbitrage are particularly prone to rapid degradation. Arbitrage strategies involve purchasing and storing energy when prices are low and selling and discharging it when the demand for energy increases.

What is Germany's energy storage strategy?

The government released its Electricity Storage Strategy in December 2023, aimed at supporting the scale-up and integration of energy storage on its grid, putting the technol-ogy on the political agenda for the first time. By the end of 2023, there was 937MW/1,322MWh online in Germany and another 485MW/681MWh is set to come online this year.
