Lithium ion batteries lead in utility-scale applications of
batteries on the grid, report finds
A new report from Navigant
Research examines the market for advanced batteries for
utility-scale energy storage, with global market forecasts for energy
capacity, power capacity, and revenue, segmented by region, application,
chemistry, and subchemistry, through 2025.
Improvements in advanced battery energy storage technologies, developing
regional regulatory and market drivers, and emerging new business models
are poised to make utility-scale energy storage a growing and viable
part of the electricity grid in coming years. During the next decade,
growth in advanced batteries for utility-scale energy storage
applications is projected to be robust. Click
to tweet: According to a new report from Navigant Research, global
revenue for advanced batteries for utility-scale storage is expected to
grow from $231.9 million in 2016 to $3.6 billion by 2025.
“Today, several factors are converging to enable the growth of
grid-connected utility-scale energy storage markets,” says William
Tokash, senior research analyst with Navigant Research. “Battery energy
storage systems (BESSs) have demonstrated that value can be delivered by
energy storage technology on the grid, and regional transmission and
distribution (T&D) system operators have recognized these advances and
are enacting new rules to allow BESSs to participate in power markets.”
Because they offer the best mix of performance specifications for most
energy storage applications, lithium ion (Li-ion) batteries lead in
utility-scale applications of batteries on the grid, according to the
report. However, flow batteries have the potential to deliver
long-duration energy storage applications at anticipated low costs.
The report, Advanced
Batteries for Utility-Scale Energy Storage, analyzes the global
market for advanced batteries for utility-scale energy storage. The
study examines the strengths and weaknesses of the major battery
chemistries and how they match to specific applications. Global market
forecasts for energy capacity, power capacity, and revenue, segmented by
region, application, chemistry, and subchemistry, extend through 2025.
