High Need for Battery Storage to Set Stage for Distributed Energy Storage Systems

According to Fact.MR, the global market for distributed energy storage systems is now valued at US$ 4.2 billion and is anticipated to grow quickly from 2022 to 2032, with a CAGR of 9.6%. The market is expected to expand as a result of rising per capita energy consumption and the move toward renewable sources of energy.

Global power demand has significantly expanded as a result of quick urbanisation, industrialisation, and increased usage of electronic equipment. There are several risks associated with the production of electricity using fossil fuels, and renewable energy sources are not always accessible. Systems for distributed energy storage can assist in storing any excess electricity produced and distributing it as needed.

The flexibility and dependability of grid systems can be improved by integrating distributed energy storage technologies into the main grid. When integrated into the distribution system, distributed energy storage can stop power sags and issues with power quality.

The ability to install distributed energy storage systems in remote places away from the primary electrical grid is anticipated to boost revenue production for market participants. In the upcoming years, sales of distributed energy storage systems are anticipated to increase significantly due to the rising need for electricity and power.
