Dublin, Oct. 2, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/d3qj7x/analysis_of_ess)
has announced the addition of the
"Analysis of ESS Business - Flow Battery Technology &
Market" report to their offering.
Flow Battery, the new solution for ESS market
An ESS (Energy Storage System) is a device that stores electric
power energy that is delivered from the power plant, transmitted to
the substation and distributed to the end consumer. Pumped storage
power plant and UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) are typical
energy storage systems which were widely used from the past.
However the application market of ESS is much more diverse and can
be classified into 19 areas. Among many ESS technologies, flow
battery technology shows high potential and is expected to be
applied in various application markets in the future.
This report contains broad range of topics related to flow battery,
one of the most influential technology of ESS. The report looks
into the history of flow battery and various redox couples and
describes component parts of the battery.
In addition, the report includes patent trend analysis of flow
battery by country, company and research institution. The trend of
major flow battery research institution and companies of each
country are covered in the report
The report mainly focuses on the market of the flow battery. About
85 flow batteries (small-scale batteries excluded) were installed
in the world until 2012 which is above 343MWh in capacity. The
installation market for flow battery is becoming more active in
recent years. Flow batteries are mainly used for load leveling,
renewable capacity firming, micro grid system, UPS and frequency
regulation. The status of the global installation market of flow
battery has been examined and analyzed by country, redox couple
technology and by year and predictions on market share of flow
battery were made with consideration to other
ESS technologies. In 2012 the flow battery occupied
approximately 0.5% of the ESS market but is expected to increase to
25% by 2020.
Key Topics Covered:
1. Large-Scale Energy Storage Technology Development Status
2. Redox Flow Battery Technology
3. Redox Flow Battery Application Examples
4. Redox Flow Battery Recent Technology Issues and Development
Trends
5. Redox Flow Battery Patent Trend
