An advanced energy storage system can be designed to suit the specific grid needs of the user. For example, a home grid system can use the batteries to produce green electricity to power small appliances like coffee makers or lamps. The large-scale grid systems can be positioned at big power plants like coal-fired plants or hydroelectric dams. In both cases, grid batteries play a vital role. Over the years, investments in renewable energy have increased significantly. Many countries are focused on increasing their investment in renewable energy sources such as solar power, wind power, and more to reduce their carbon footprint. Recently, in March 2021, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) announced US$ 41 million financings for renewable energy in India. In October 2020, Total announced US$ 2.5 billion in Indian renewable energy firm Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL). Hence, such factors can augment the growth of the advanced energy storage market.
The efficiency of the batteries depends largely on their size. The larger the size of the storage system, the higher its density and the higher the power conditioning ability. Larger batteries can also hold more power during times of heavy load. So far the energy conversion efficiency of the rechargeable batteries has been considered unsatisfactory because they do not have good cycling lives. That being said, high capital investment remains one of the major hurdles in the adoption of advanced energy storage. Besides, dynamics valuations and a lack of standardized codes and norms can potentially impede the growth of the advanced energy storage market... Read more
