Opportunities: Emerging energy storage applications

A battery energy storage system is embedded with a rechargeable battery in the form of battery packs and modules. The system stores energy from renewable energy sources such as solar arrays, wind, or even the electric grid and then discharges that energy later to provide electricity or other grid services when needed. Energy storage batteries are used in low-peak periods to store surplus energy and provide this energy to the end users during high peak demand for electricity. The energy storage battery has been widely installed in many parts of the world, including the US, Canada, Germany, France, China, India, and other major economies. The demand for energy storage batteries has been rising in recent years due to factors such as ongoing grid modernization, growing penetration of lithium-ion batteries in the renewable energy sector, and the rising trend of adopting low-carbon and less fossil fuel-based economy and ongoing renewable energy revolution.

Challenges: Continuous development of new battery technologies

Batteries are being widely adopted in different applications ranging from heavy loads, such as airplanes, to minimal use, such as wristwatches. In recent years, various research and development practices have been going on within the battery industry, especially to develop high energy density and small-sized batteries. Hence, new technologies such as solid-state, liquid metal, and vanadium flow batteries are under the R&D stage. As newer batteries are emerging, the major challenge faced by battery manufacturers is installing new production lines for the respective batteries. Similarly, battery production machine manufacturers face the same challenge of developing new turnkey solutions for changing battery technologies. Setting up the whole process of manufacturing machines is costly and changing it according to the new type of battery market is not feasible for battery production machine manufacturers at a fast pace. Hence, as newer battery technologies are being developed and adopted, battery production machine manufacturers will face the challenge of identifying the most recent battery technology and changing their product offerings to cope with the changing technology landscape.
