The Global Energy Storage Action Is Heading East
The Global Energy Storage Action Is Heading East
by Jason Deign
September 09, 2016
Forget Germany or America. India and China are set to lead growth in worldwide energy storage between now and 2024, a new study says.
The Global Energy Storage Forecast, 2016-24, published by Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF), predicts the Asia Pacific region will host a majority of the 45 gigawatts and 81.3 gigawatt-hours of non pumped-hydro storage due to be installed worldwide by 2024.
By then, the Asia-Pacific region will account for 53 percent of the world’s total capacity in megawatts. Three Asian countries -- Japan, India and China -- will be among the world’s top five markets for energy storage.
The top five markets, which also includes the United States and the whole of Europe apart from Germany, Italy and the U.K., will make up 71 percent of all storage installed.
Japan, which currently leads the world in terms of gigawatt-hours of storage...

NEC unveils new battery system to compete with Tesla, Schneider Electric
By Robert Walton | September 8, 2016
- NEC Energy Solutions this week announced it is seeking partners to install a new lithium-ion Distributed Energy Storage System (DESS).
- The systems are scalable from 85kWh to 510kWh of capacuty and offers from 30kW up to 650kW of power capability.
... the company strives to create a battery system "so simple that your average three-phase electrician would have no trouble installing it.” It is a segment becoming increasingly crowded in the energy storage space, with competing offerings from Gexpro, Tesla and Schneider Electric.
The NEC Corp. subsidiary describes its storage system as a standardized, UL safety-certified, AC-ready system that includes a power conversion system and is "compliant with all relevant regulatory and environmental requirements." And the company said the system's controls software package will offering different operating mode allowing them to switch from cost savings by demand charge management to revenue earning by providing system services....
