Market CAGR for substation batteries is driven by the rising energy demand and rising need for uninterrupted power supply from businesses and commercial spaces to prevent power losses and boost productivity. Moreover, growing environmental worries about the depletion of conventional energy sources are projected to draw additional infrastructure expenditures to increase demand for substation batteries. Increased use of renewable energy sources alters the normal operating mode of the power grid, which in turn affects the performance of substation batteries and automation equipment. Switching to renewable energy sources can minimize short circuit currents and the protection system's insensitivity to this defect. Demand for substation batteries is expected to rise due to the issues mentioned above in the future.
Additionally, utilizing cutting-edge technology, substation automation helps cut operational and maintenance expenses while raising plant output. Its interlocking and smart load-shedding features further guarantee the electrical power network's excellent performance, dependability, and safety. Smart grids can decrease transmission and distribution losses, boost reliability and productivity, and efficiently and effectively control energy demand. The increasing need for electrical power, which should enhance sales of substation batteries, is largely attributable to industrial change in developing nations. Increasing product demand from various end-use sectors and rising energy demand will increase the substation batteries market. Therefore, the increasing prevalence of energy supply is fueling the expansion of the international market.
For instance, ABB has introduced a new member of the Relion product family to provide reliable, smart, and environmentally responsible electrification. The REX610 improves basic energy transmission applications by facilitating safety and control. As a result, the demand for substation batteries is predicted to grow throughout the forecasted time due to the rising demand for energy supply. Thus, the driving factor is the substation batteries market revenue.
The substation batteries market segmentation, based on type, includes lead acid batteries (sealed batteries & vented batteries) and nickel-cadmium batteries.

December 2023
The Ãœstra power storage system, which is powered by discarded eCitaro batteries, has been put into action.
Used batteries from the Mercedes-Benz eCitaro city bus, which is an all-electric vehicle, are being given a "second life" for the very first time via this initiative. As part of the GUW+ pilot project, a stationary power storage unit that was constructed from used eCitaro batteries has been put into service at the rectifier substation of the Ãœstra Hannoversche Verkehrsbetriebe.
In turn, mobility is now ensured by the storage system that is located in the rectifier substation of Ãœstra. This system makes it possible for the electric buses offered by eCitaro and the light rail vehicles operated by the public transportation business to receive energy in simultaneously. There are 28 second-life battery systems from the Mercedes-Benz eCitaro that make up the storage system, which has a total capacity of more than 500 kWh and is known as the storage system.
The project is being pursued by the partners as a component of a pilot project entitled GUW+, which was announced in the year 2021. TU Dresden and the Fraunhofer IVI in Dresden were also members of the partnership, in addition to Alstom Transport Deutschland, which was the head of the project. Other members of the consortium were Elpro and Motion Control and Power Electronics. The company Ãœstra AG participated in the project as a demonstration partner, while Daimler Buses was engaged as an affiliated partner. The second-life application was developed and implemented by Mercedes-Benz Energy GmbH, a subsidiary of Mercedes-Benz AG that specializes in the development of power storage systems.Â
Now, the energy storage system is being used by Ãœstra as a buffer for the purpose of using the recuperation energy that is created during the operation of the light rail. The stored energy makes it possible to balance load peaks and guarantee smooth ongoing operation in the event that the grid fails, as stated in a press statement that accompanies the announcement.Â
