Energy storage technologies, which offer the promise of enabling a wide range of long-duration and short-duration applications for purposes of balancing electricity grid operations, are gaining increased momentum in the global marketplace. While the industry still faces a variety of challenges including technology development and the need for cost reduction, Pike Research’s analysis indicates that nearly 600 energy storage projects have been announced or deployed worldwide, with a surge of new project activity during the past decade.

The energy storage market is dynamic, but still immature where most technologies are concerned. In addition, the wide variety of technologies, applications, and lead times for installations in this sector can make it difficult for many industry participants to analyze the overall market. By systematically compiling the available data on all projects around the world, Pike Research’s energy storage tracker allows us to identify key market trends on a holistic basis.

This Pike Research tracker provides a comprehensive database of worldwide energy storage projects, including quantitative and qualitative analysis of key trends within the various application and technology segments. The tracker provides key facts and figures for each project including capacity, location, primary and secondary applications, technologies utilized, and investment cost where available.

Key Questions Addressed:
  • What are the leading regions for energy storage projects (and capacity) globally?
  • What are the leading market segments for energy storage projects (and capacity) globally?
  • What are the leading technologies for energy storage projects globally?

Energy storage technologies hold tremendous potential to help stabilize, regulate, and balance the flow of electricity through the power grid. While long-duration energy storage systems (ESS) for renewables integration and peak load shifting have been a topic of much discussion within the industry, a variety of short-duration applications for energy storage are also a critical factor in the development of the sector. Such short-duration energy storage systems may be utilized for ancillary services including frequency regulation, spinning reserves, voltage control, and load following, among others. Key technologies for these ancillary services include flywheels, pumped hydro, compressed air energy storage (CAES), and battery technologies such as lithium ion, sodium sulfur (NaS), and advanced lead acid batteries.

In the initial period of adoption, the ESS for ancillary services market will be limited to regions with suitable market structures, primarily deregulated electricity markets. The key regions will be North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific, particularly for frequency regulation, load following, spinning reserves, and short-duration renewables integration. Pike Research forecasts that global revenues for ESS for ancillary services will surpass $3.2 billion by 2021.

This Pike Research report provides an in-depth examination of the market potential for energy storage systems for ancillary services including an analysis of legislation, financing, and market structures that will shape the sector as it develops in the coming decade. The study includes an assessment of technology issues, key application areas, and profiles and SWOT analysis of the principal market players in each segment. Global market forecasts, segmented by world region and technology, are provided through 2021.

Key Questions Addressed:
  • How is the energy storage market segmented between long-duration and short-duration applications?
  • What are ancillary services, and which energy storage technologies can participate in this market?
  • What are the technical and performance requirements for key ancillary services applications?
  • What are the business models being used for ESS for ancillary services?
  • How large is the market, in terms of megawatts and revenue, by application and region?
  • Who are the key market players and what are their relative strengths and weaknesses?
  • What are the key countries for ESS for ancillary services going forward and what are the key drivers, barriers, and opportunities for energy storage in those markets?
  • What are the estimated installed energy storage costs and revenue opportunities for energy storage technology providers?

Fundamentally, electric grids require balance in order to function properly. Energy storage provides grid operators with an alternative to traditional grid management. Storage solutions such as compressed air and pumped storage have been around for decades, but while these installations provide large storage capacity, the technologies have not had significant success in the global market when compared to the substantial increase in grid capacity over the past 50 years.

Long duration energy storage on the grid (ESG) is reaching a turning point. Currently, a number of new technologies – and variations on “old” technologies such as compressed air energy storage and pumped storage – are being demonstrated in North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, and the Middle East. The market is ripe with opportunity. Utilities, grid service providers, and equipment suppliers are all participating in energy storage projects.

This Pike Research report includes analysis of key market drivers and barriers for the emerging energy storage market, technology issues, and detailed profiles of 12 key countries. The study provides global forecasts for the long duration energy storage market, segmented by region, application, and technology, and measured in revenue and megawatts. The report also identifies the key changes in the ESG market during the past year and includes analysis on key energy storage projects to date.

Key Questions Addressed:
  • How is the energy storage market segmented between long discharge duration energy storage on the grid (ESG) applications and short duration ancillary services applications?
  • Which technologies are best suited for ESG applications, and to which applications specifically?
  • What are the most popular applications, by region, for energy storage?
  • In the case of ESG installations with multiple applications, which are the primary applications overall?
  • How large is the market, in terms of megawatts and revenue, by application and region?
  • What will the market segmentation be in the United States, Europe, and Asia Pacific by technology and application?
  • Who are the key players in the ESG market?
  • How fast will the market grow and what are the key demand drivers?
  • What are the key countries for ESG going forward and what are the key drivers, barriers, and opportunities for energy storage in those markets?
  • What are the estimated installed energy storage costs and revenue opportunities for energy storage technology providers?
  • How does this vary by different energy storage technologies providing ESG?

The market momentum toward greater energy efficiency in commercial buildings, the proliferation of smart grid technologies, and the growth of renewable energy installations both on a distributed basis as well as at the utility scale are all driving heightened interest in the opportunity for energy storage in commercial buildings. Buildings represent a large portion of total energy consumption and many of their occupants are actively seeking ways of better managing their energy costs through efficiency measures as well as innovative means of optimizing their expenditures under time of use (TOU) electricity rates and other variable pricing structures.

While uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) are currently the most common form of energy storage in commercial buildings, thermal energy storage (TES) technologies are capable of storing a comparable amount of energy. Each TES system has large storage capacity, to shift hours of cooling load in large buildings and campuses, from on-peak to off-peak periods. The wholesale cost to utilities for on-peak electricity is higher, compared to off-peak. Some regional regulations allow utilities to pass this cost difference to their commercial customers, with demand charges and/or TOU rates. A utility customer can use an energy storage system to manage this cost. This application requires thousands of cycles per lifetime, multiple hours of duration per cycle, and a cost-effective price. In some markets, these requirements are met by TES and by flow batteries now, and possibly by lithium ion (Li-ion) batteries in a few years.

This Pike Research report explores the market potential for energy storage in commercial buildings including an examination of market issues, technology issues, and the competitive landscape in this emerging sector. Market forecasts are provided for uninterruptible power supplies and thermal energy storage in commercial buildings, and key industry players are profiled in depth.
