China installed grid-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS) totalling 4,756MW of power and 14,194MWh of capacity in July, 75. 5% of the total deployed globally.
The sharp and continuous deployment of intermittent Renewable Energy Sources (RES) and especially of Photovoltaics (PVs) poses serious challenges on modern power systems. Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are seen as a promising technology to tackle the arising technical bottlenecks, gathering significant attention in recent years.
Two interesting BESS systems highlighted in the 2024 Battery Report are Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) and Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G). A VPP involves the coordinated charge or discharge of stationary energy storage assets to act as a larger BESS asset on the grid.
Moreover, it is an ancillary service that BESS can easily provide to the power system. Power demand and supply in the electricity grid have to be equal at all times.
During peak energy demand or when the input from renewable sources drops (such as solar power at night), the BESS discharges the stored energy back into the power grid. A BESS, like what FusionSolar offers, comprises essential components, including a rechargeable battery, an inverter, and sophisticated control software.
A key factor driving this BESS market is the dramatic decline in battery costs. In 2024, the cost per kWh of BESS systems dropped by 40% year-on-year from 2023, now averaging $165/kWh – less than half the price seen just five years ago.
Given the global surge of residential PV systems in recent years and in order to alleviate any barriers for their further integration, BESS are seen as an ideal solution, which has not been accelerated yet, despite its proven benefits.
