Renewable energy adoption is driving the market CAGR for Flow Battery. The relevance of energy storage in the power business is quickly growing, owing mostly to increased investment in the renewable energy sector. Although lithium-ion batteries are widely used, flow batteries provide promise advantages for long-term use and in applications that require a consistent cycle throughout the day.
Renewable energy, such as wind and solar energy, can be made available for longer periods of time using flow batteries, thereby mitigating major intermittency difficulties. Developers are actively evaluating these technologies for their potential to provide power for longer periods of time as well as for ramping up and down with no degradation.
One of the most important applications of flow batteries is the storage of renewable energy. Countries such as the United States, India, China, and Japan have revised their energy policy to include a significant part of energy generation coming from renewable energy resources such as wind and solar. Government financial support and accompanying returns are expanding investments in renewable energy around the world.
Renewable energy is now the preferred alternative for expanding, updating, and modernizing power infrastructure around the world. The Indian government promised to investing more than $25 billion in 2021 to meet an ambitious target of 175 GW of renewable energy generation by 2022. Renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, biomass and waste, geothermal, small hydro, and marine accounted for 55.3% of new power generation last year. As a result, the worldwide flow battery market is predicted to develop throughout the forecast period.
Utilities are an early application area for flow batteries since they deal with renewable energy grid penetration. Flow batteries are used in utility applications to function as a buffer between electricity demand and available energy from the grid. Flow batteries are ideal for long discharge times in MW scale power increases in utilities. Furthermore, these batteries supply and transfer energy during grid outages.
To present, the majority of flow battery installation projects globally have been designed to meet the needs of utilities. Because of the increased need for electrification in rural and urban regions, government and commercial entities have been working to improve electric grid infrastructure in recent years.
The United States Department of Energy (DOE) proposed $13 billion in new financing opportunities for the development and upgrading of the nation's electric grid in August 2022. The Grid Resilience Innovative Partnership (GRIP) program and the Transmission Facilitation Program, both funded by the President's Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, represent the largest single direct federal investment in critical transmission and distribution infrastructure, as well as one of the first down payments on an over $20 billion investment under the Administration's Building a Better Grid Initiative.
Such initiatives and substantial investments in grid construction by various governments to fulfill rising power demand are projected to fuel the growth of the flow battery market over the forecast period.
The Flow Battery Market segmentation, based on Product Type includes redox, hybrid. The redox segment is expected to dominate the market in 2022. Redox flow batteries are inexpensive and convenient ways of storing electrical energy on a grid scale and for a variety of applications, which contributes to this segment's substantial market share.
The Flow Battery Market segmentation, based on Material Type, includes vanadium, zinc-bromine. The zinc-bromine category is expected to have the greatest CAGR over the projection period in 2022. The benefits provided by zinc-bromine flow batteries, such as relatively high energy density, deep discharge capabilities, and superior reversibility, are credited to the segment's rise.
The Flow Battery Market segmentation, based on storage Type, includes compact, large scale. The flow battery market is dominated by the large scale segment. This is because large-scale flow batteries are increasingly being employed for grid-scale energy storage applications such as renewable energy integration, peak shaving, and load levelling. Furthermore, the growing demand for dependable and efficient energy storage solutions is likely to boost the expansion of the large-scale flow battery market in the coming years.
