Grid Scale Battery Market Trends

• 
  

  Increased integration of renewable energy with battery storage is driving market growth.

  
  

Market CAGR for grid scale batteries is driven by the increased integration of renewable energy with battery storage. Grid scale battery storage can also contribute to clean energy. Battery storage is one of various technology options that can improve power system flexibility and enable high renewable energy integration. Studies and real-world experience have shown that interconnected energy systems can safely and reliably integrate large amounts of renewable energy from Variable Renewable Energy (VRE) sources without new energy storage resources.

Additionally, the need to incorporate energy produced from renewable sources such as solar photovoltaic and wind power and improve grid stability, reliability, and resiliency are driving product demand. Because of its extraordinary ability to hold, absorb, and re-inject electricity, the market is evolving as one of the viable options to increase system flexibility. Furthermore, increased consumer knowledge of efficient energy usage and a rising desire to save additional energy generated at the grid location with effective load control likely drive global grid scale battery revenue.

Energy storage offers numerous advantages, such as integrating diverse resources and improving reliability and resilience. In addition, grid scale batteries provide the advantage of arbitrage. Arbitrage comprises charging the battery when energy prices are low and discharging it during the more expensive peak times. This practice can provide a revenue stream for the Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) operator by taking advantage of electricity prices that vary throughout the day. An extension of the energy arbitrage service is the reduction of renewable energy curtailment.

Moreover, plant operators and project developers are interested in using as much cost-effective and emission-free renewable energy generation as possible. However, in systems with an increasing share of Variable Renewable Energy (VRE), the limited flexibility of conventional generators and timing discrepancies between renewable energy supply and electricity demand can cause renewable generators to throttle their output. Charging the battery with low-cost energy during excess renewable generation and discharging it during high demand is profitable for plant operators.
