Battery Storage systems play a vital role in generating a relentless and steady power supply. It also evolves as one of the most important solutions for integrating effectively high shares of wind and solar renewables in power systems worldwide. They have applications in various industries delivering exceptional connectivity and energy storage. High-capacity batteries are installed as means of the backup source to deliver stability to the electrical grid and to supply power during power failures or power outages. Increasing usage of renewable energy sources worldwide coupled with stringent government policies to lower carbon emissions will propel product adoption during the forecast period.

Based on the battery, the market is segmented into sodium sulphur, lithium-ion, lead-acid, flow battery, and others. The lithium-ion battery is expected to dominate and hold a significant share in the market, owing to its improved life cycle as compared to lead-acid. Also, the low cost of these batteries is further expected to propel the segmental market. The sodium sulphur battery is expected to grow on account of safety features and high-temperature stability associated with these batteries, which makes them ideal for grid-scale applications. In addition, no self-discharge, quick response time, and high shelf life are other factors estimated to drive the market for sodium sulphur batteries.

Based on grid service, the market is segmented into reduced reliance on diesel gensets, reduced RE curtailment, frequency regulation, black start service, flexible ramping, energy shifting & capacity deferral, capacity firming, and transmission and distribution congestion relief. The black start services are expected to dominate and hold a significant share in the market. This is attributed to the increasing market demand for power system flexibility related to power outages or power system failures, which has boosted the demand for structured systems for the launching of black start. The flexible ramping segment is estimated to grow significantly over the forecast period due to the changing lifestyle and increasing population, which will increase the electricity demand, thus creating a necessity for reliable energy storage systems to deliver electricity to lower the fluctuations.

The major market driver for the grid-scale stationary battery storage market is the growing deployment of the renewable energy sector coupled with favorable government initiatives to reduce carbon emissions. Also, the continuing clean energy systems integration such as solar and wind require cost-effective technologies for different networks synchronizing, which is expected to propel the market growth. In addition, growing demand for electricity supply and grid stability further boost the market outlook.

The factor that is expected to inhibit the growth of the market is the volatile investment opportunities across some industrial sectors and lack of standardization. Due to this, investors find it difficult to invest the amount for grid-scale stationary batteries. Besides, the COVID-19 has delayed a wide range of projects, including energy storage and renewable integration, owing to massive disruption in supply chains, which further hampers the market growth of grid-scale stationary batteries.
