Requirement of continuous power supply in datacenters creating opportunity for Battery Energy Storage System Market

 According to the new market research report "Battery Energy Storage System Market with COVID-19 Impact by Element (Battery, Others), Battery Type (Lithium-Ion, Flow Batteries), Connection Type (On-Grid And Off-Grid), Ownership, Energy Capacity, Application, and Geography - Global Forecast to 2025", the battery energy storage system market is projected to grow from USD 2.9 billion in 2020 to USD 12.1 billion by 2025; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 32.8% from 2020 to 2025. The growth of this market is expected to be driven by the prevailing trend of adopting low-carbon and less fossil fuel-based economy and ongoing renewable energy revolution, surging requirement of continuous power supply from critical infrastructures in wake of COVID-19, growing adoption of lithium-ion batteries in renewable energy sector owing to their low costs and improved performance, and increasing demand for grid energy storage systems. These factors have helped the battery energy storage system market gain traction in applications, such as utilities, residential, and commercial.

Opportunity: Requirement of continuous power supply in datacenters

Datacenters use an uninterrupted power supply (UPS) to provide power to loads in emergencies when the main power supply fails. Battery energy storage systems play an important role in eliminating electricity fluctuations in datacenters. The combination of battery energy storage systems and UPS ensures continuous power supply to designated critical loads when utility disturbances or outages are detected. This leads to a rise in demand for UPS from large datacenters. This, in turn, is anticipated to fuel the demand for energy storage systems based on lithium-ion and lead-acid batteries. The BMS software monitors the charge/discharge functions of batteries by ensuring that UPS batteries are optimally charged. The monitoring data gathered and displayed by BMS is useful for datacenter operators.

Challenge: Ongoing disruptions in supply chain of energy generation industry and delay in ESS projects caused by COVID-19

The outbreak and the spread of the COVID-19 have impacted the energy industry supply chain, particularly renewable energy technologies and battery energy storage systems. The key components used in battery energy storage systems are mainly manufactured in APAC. The pandemic has exposed the overdependence of the world on the region, especially on China, for key raw materials. Manufacturers of energy storage systems in the US, Germany, and Australia are severely impacted by the shutdown of operations in China and other countries of APAC. The key battery energy storage system manufacturers and operators such as LG Chem (South Korea) are making efforts to shift their supply chain base outside China to reduce their dependence on the country. Moreover, countries and companies worldwide might shift to new and other energy storage technologies such as PHS, CAES, and flow battery solutions to avoid any further delays in project completions and be prepared for such situations in future.

Battery energy storage systems with energy capacity above 500 MWh to witness highest CAGR during the forecast period

Based on energy capacity, the above 500 MWh segment of the battery energy storage system market is expected to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period. A battery energy storage system with a high capacity and a low power rating delivers a low amount of electricity for a long time and is sufficient to run a few crucial appliances. These battery storage systems help in running other power plants during times of high electricity demand. The utilities are among the applications that require high capacity energy storage systems. To date, most of the high capacity energy storage system installation projects across the world cater to the utility application. In recent years, due to the growing need for electrification in rural and urban areas, government and private bodies are striving to improve the electric grid system to cater to the energy needs. These systems help the utility meet local capacity requirements and mitigate energy procurement costs. For instance, California investor-owned utility Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) constructed a 182.5MW/730MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) project, which was among four energy storage projects located at Moss Landing Power Plant.

Utilities application to account for the largest market share during the forecast period

The public utility applications or utilities involve the electric grid, a system where the electricity generated at power plants is immediately used by the loads that are connected to it. The generation and consumption of electricity need to be matched at all times, as mismatch leads to the voltage and frequency deviations, and causes power outages and damage to the equipment. To overcome this problem, a battery energy storage system is installed with the electric grids, which controls the voltage and frequency deviations. The battery energy storage system used in utilities is a cost-effective alternative to replace a conventional infrastructure, especially in helping substations and transmission and distribution (T&D) lines to meet growing peak demand.

However, due to COVID-19, the economic power consumption has dropped due to a decrease in demand. This is attributed to the slump in the economic activities in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. The grid operators are also witnessing a reduction in the usage of power in many countries. The power prices have turned negative. Demand reduction from industries may occur due to both supply chain disruptions and the slowdown in demand itself. The severe fall in demand will have an impact on power distribution companies who are likely to witness working capital issues.

APAC accounts for the largest market size during the forecast period

APAC held the largest battery energy storage system market share in 2019, followed by North America and Europe. The market in APAC mainly comprises developing economies, such as China and India, which have tremendous potential for installation of energy storage projects due to increasing renewable energy integration. APAC is expected to witness plans for electrification in remote areas, which are majorly off-grid in several countries. The use of residential energy storage technology will enable to increase access to electricity for these remote and island communities in the region. The battery energy storage system market in APAC is highly competitive with the presence of established players. These players are continually upgrading their product portfolio with the launch of technologically advanced energy storage products.

Some of the major battery energy storage system manufacturers based in Asia Pacific are Samsung SDI (South Korea), LG Chem (South Korea), Hitachi (Japan), Panasonic (Japan), and NEC Corporation (Japan).
