Battery energy storage systems are crucial for enhancing energy independence, reducing reliance on the grid, lowering electricity costs, and providing backup power during outages. They play a significant role in stabilising energy supply and integrating renewable energy into the overall energy landscape.
Despite their benefits, battery energy storage systems have notable disadvantages. The initial investment for purchasing and installing these systems can be quite high, particularly for larger or more advanced configurations.
It must, however, be noted that the system efficiency is moderate. The main downside to this technology is the need for an ideal storage location. On the other hand, batteries are very popular technology due to the flexibility associated with their usage, limited maintenance work required, high efficiency, and very reliable.
Additionally, battery systems facilitate the integration of renewable energy sources like solar and wind, contributing to environmental sustainability by reducing carbon emissions. Furthermore, they provide backup power during outages, ensuring continuity for essential services and household needs.
However, the disadvantages of using li-ion batteries for energy storage are multiple and quite well documented. The performance of li-ion cells degrades over time, limiting their storage capability.
Several well-known battery suppliers, such as AES and Tesla, have chosen Li-ion batteries as the basis for their energy storage products, resulting in intense competition in the energy storage industry. The current work highlighted batteries' strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis in power transmission.
The global residential solar storage and inverter market is experiencing rapid expansion, with demand increasing by over 300% in the past three years. Home energy storage solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new residential solar installations worldwide. North America leads with 38% market share, driven by homeowner energy independence goals and federal tax credits that reduce total system costs by 26-30%. Europe follows with 32% market share, where standardized home storage designs have cut installation timelines by 55% compared to custom solutions. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing system prices by 18% annually.
