Community Energy Storage Systems Are Trending

Community energy storage (CES) is a cutting-edge smart grid technology that provides various benefits of distribution grids, in terms of reliability, quality, and control stability. This technique has become a vital part of contemporary microgrids as it offers benefits to both utilities and consumers. It eases the effects of the sporadic output of DERs, including PVs; and other smart grid components, including EVs, and integrates them into the smart grid. CES is mostly placed at the grid periphery, which is close to customers and DERs.

The core concept of CES, which was first applied in HV/MV substations equipped with CES batteries, can provide benefits that are far greater than those of traditional substation batteries. This kind of CES might be advantageous for regional control at the feeder/transformer level. Without the requirement for an OLTC at the substation, new types of substation CES units may provide voltage regulation through their four-quadrant inverters.

In recent years, this concept has expanded with the inclusion of DERs and the client side. The main motives fora having CES in distribution networks include smoothening of DERs’ intermittencies, such as output shifting/leveling, peak-shaving, and power quality enhancements, including voltage and reactive power support, frequency control, and islanding during outages. A CES contains a battery, typically a lithium-ion battery box; and a measurement/control system, which comprises a battery management system (BMS) and inverter monitoring/control. CES also features a fully dispatchable four-quadrant inverter, allowing for the swapping of active and reactive powers in both the directions, which is the key difference between CES and DGs.

In other words, CES has the ability to control frequency and voltage and add and subtract reactive power from the grid. The CES is quite easy to use. Due to system-active/reactive needs, such systems supply either active or reactive power from their batteries. As it can offer power for a short time while discharging, CES can be viewed as a backup power source for a particular set of houses.

6 to 10 kW Category Held Largest Share

The 6 to 10 kW category held the major revenue share, around 50%, in 2022, and it is expected to maintain its position during the prediction period. This is due to the rising energy consumption, increasing frequency of long power outages, faults in grid systems, and mounting demand for a greater amount of stable power.

Lithium-Ion Technology To Hold Major Revenue Share

The lithium-ion category accounted for the larger revenue share, over 80%, in 2022, and it is further expected to maintain its dominance in the coming years. This is due to the fact that such batteries are more reliable and stable and can be recharged numerous times. Additionally, compared to conventional rechargeable batteries, Li-ion variants have better energy densities, higher voltage capacities, and lower self-discharge rates, which enhance power efficiency by allowing a single cell to hold charge for longer periods.

Europe Is Prime Revenue Contributor

Europe accounted for the largest revenue share, around 40%, in 2022, and it is further expected to maintain its dominance during the forecast period. This is due to the rapid adoption of rooftop solar power, a 30% government subsidy for the battery system, rise in the urbanization rate, and presence of a huge number of industry players.

Additionally, the increasing demand for EVs and rising implementation of virtual power plants raise the installation rate of such systems. The increasing usage of EVs creates a significant load on the current grid infrastructure, and to lessen the load, governments across the EU encourage EV owners to install energy storage solutions at home, which can be used to charge the vehicles.
In addition,

• Germany contributes the majority of the revenue to the region, owing to the high need for a stable power supply, growing number of residential buildings, government support, and high demand for cost-efficient solutions.
• The Renewable Energy Law, or EEG 2021, was amended in Germany in 2021. As part of this change, owners of PV systems for self-consumption up to 30 kW in capacity are free from the EEG fee. Given that the majority of the residential systems fall within the aforementioned range, this amendment is expected to enhance the residential battery market growth prospects.

Moreover, APAC is a significant user of such systems due to the increasing population, surging demand for renewable energy, rising consumer spending, vast consumer base and its surging disposable income, and booming adoption of advanced technologies.

Moreover,

• The regional industry advance is influenced by the government measures to encourage the residential sector to embrace renewable energy sources, escalating public investments in the electrification of rural areas, and growing production of sustainable electricity.
• The rapid shift of American and European ESS giants’ production facilities to emerging economies, such as China and India, will further augment the market growth.
• China generates a remarkable chunk of the revenue owing to the growing economic activities, low cost of solar panels due to a huge manufacturing base, expanding semiconductor industry, and rising consumer spending.

North America also held a significant revenue share in 2022, attributed to the increase in the pace of technological advancements in the energy sector, the growth in EV sales, and the rise in the need to equip the existing solar PV systems with storage systems.
