Community, Residential, and Commercial Energy Storage: Distributed Energy Storage Systems for Energy Cost Management and Grid Management: Global Market Analysis and Forecasts
LONDON, June 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Distributed energy storage is one of the fastest-growing markets for energy storage globally. In particular, residential and commercial energy storage have far exceeded industry expectations for growth and market volume in 2014 and are poised grow into significant markets. Although there is renewed interest in community energy storage in Western Europe, this segment will continue to lag behind the residential and commercial markets.
Market challenges remain for distributed energy storage systems (DESSs), however, as advances still need to be made in cost reductions, software and controls, and integration expertise across nearly every storage technology. The current market winners are vendors that have cultivated strong distribution networks and offer one or more of the following in addition to energy storage: advanced software and controls, alternative financing structures, or integrated PV. Moreover, lithium ion (Li-ion) has established a clear lead in the market as the technology of choice across all applications, but especially in residential and commercial energy storage. According to Navigant Research, global installed DESS power capacity is expected to grow from 171.9 MW in 2014 to 12,147.3 MW in 2024.
This Navigant Research report analyzes the global market for DESSs, with a focus on three distinct applications: community energy storage (specifically energy storage at the distributed transformer), residential energy storage (with and without solar PV), and commercial energy storage. The study provides an analysis of the market issues, opportunities, and challenges associated with distributed energy storage. Global market forecasts for power capacity, energy capacity, and revenue, broken out by application, technology, region, and ownership model, extend through 2024. The report also examines the key technologies related to DESSs, as well as the competitive landscape.
