What is the growth rate of industrial energy storage?

The majority of the growth is due to forklifts (8% CAGR). UPS and data centers show moderate growth (4% CAGR) and telecom backup battery demand shows the lowest growth level (2% CAGR) through 2030. Figure 8. Projected global industrial energy storage deployments by application

What is the energy storage Grand Challenge?

This report, supported by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Energy Storage Grand Challenge, summarizes current status and market projections for the global deployment of selected energy storage technologies in the transportation and stationary markets.

Where will stationary energy storage be available in 2030?

The largest markets for stationary energy storage in 2030 are projected to be in North America (41.1 GWh), China (32.6 GWh), and Europe (31.2 GWh). Excluding China, Japan (2.3 GWh) and South Korea (1.2 GWh) comprise a large part of the rest of the Asian market.

Will Li-ion capture energy storage growth in the next 10 years?

Most analysts expect Li-ion to capture the majority of energy storage growth in all markets over at least the next 10 years , , , , . Li-ion is the fastest-growing rechargeable battery segment; its global sales across all markets more than doubled between 2013 and 2018.

Can stationary energy storage improve grid reliability?

Although once considered the missing link for high levels of grid-tied renewable electricity, stationary energy storage is no longer seen as a barrier, but rather a real opportunity to identify the most cost-effective technologies for increasing grid reliability, resilience, and demand management.

How many hours of storage do you need for renewables?

For very high (i.e., >80%) of renewables, storage durations of >120 hours, often called seasonal storage, will be needed . As duration increases, the marginal value of storage decreases and, therefore, so does the affordable total capital. The competitiveness of a technology will thus depend on the required hours of duration.
