Opportunity: Growing penetration in residential applications
As private customers are looking to mitigate energy costs, residential storage solutions are being introduced. More residential and commercial properties are incorporating energy storage in their building plans. Also, growing energy cost are driving consumers to invest in technologies that are cheaper and efficient; thus, energy storage technology is being widely adopted in the residential sector. Much of the energy storage technologies deployed to date in residential apartments or buildings is limited to short-duration power application.
Flow batteries, particularly, enable homes and small businesses to store maximum energy and reduce energy costs, as well as avoid blackouts. Inherent features such as high life cycle count, modularity, nonflammable, and flexible capacity make flow battery highly suitable for residential and commercial applications. Redflow and VSUN Energy are among the flow battery manufacturers engaged in developing flow battery for residential applications. In September 2017, VSUN Energy launched flow battery for residential applications.
Challenge: High competition from conventional battery technologies
Flow batteries face fierce competition from widely adopted conventional batteries such as lithium-ion battery, lead-acid battery, and sodium-based batteries.
“Based on type, hybrid flow battery expected to grow at the highest CAGR in the flow battery market between 2018 and 2023”
Hybrid flow batteries have an additional advantage over standard flow battery designs. The zinc–bromine hybrid battery offers the highest energy density among other flow batteries. Also, due to the high cost and limited availability of vanadium material, many manufacturers are adopting the hybrid design for their flow batteries. In the recent years, several research programs are being conducted in a number of countries to explore the potential of the hybrid flow battery and also to build more compact and cheaper systems. Also, key players in the market have commercialized their hybrid battery for various applications such as utilities, commercial, residential, and others. This is likely to contribute to a high CAGR of the hybrid flow market in the near future.
“Based on application, Utility segment expected to hold the largest market share in the flow battery market during the forecast period”
Over the years, reliable energy and clean systems have become a necessity worldwide. Increasing penetration of renewable energy across the grid has, in turn, increased the need for efficient, flexible, and long operating life energy storage solutions. The International Energy Agency (IEA) projected that by 2050 the necessary amount of energy storage system in the world would be between 189 GW and 305 GW corresponding to an output variation rate of renewable energies of 15% or 30%, respectively. A flow battery, with all its attractive features has become the most preferred energy storage technology for utility-based storage as large-sale utilities require technologies that can cost-effectively store renewable energy for future grid-use at any location Flow batteries are being installed in combination with photovoltaics, wind turbines or diesel and biogas generators to store energy.
“APAC expected to be the fastest-growing market for flow battery during the forecast period”
APAC is expected to be the fastest-growing market for flow battery between 2018 and 2023. In the recent years, many countries—such as China, Japan, India, and Australia—are striving to boost their large-scale energy storage capacity through battery technologies that could, in turn, enhance electric stability. APAC has several operational flow battery installations with large power ratings. Australia has the most number of flow battery projects for utilities, residential, industrial, and commercial applications from various players across the world. Whereas, China holds the highest capacity of flow battery installed till date among other countries in the region. UniEnergy Technologies is working to deploy 10 flow batteries of 20 MW/80 MWh capacity for utilities application in China. Also, the growth in microgrid projects in India and Japan encourages manufacturers to cater to the needs of potential customers in the region. In India, smart grids and EV charging station industries are in developing phase and are creating significant opportunity for flow batteries.
ESS Inc. (US), GILDEMEISTER energy solutions (Austria), Primus Power (US), RedFlow (Australia), redT Energy (UK), SCHMID (Germany), Sumitomo Electric. (Japan), UniEnergy Technologies (US), ViZn Energy (US), and EnSync Energy Systems (US) are the major players operating in this market.
