GIA
launches comprehensive analysis of industry segments, trends, growth drivers,
market share, market size and demand forecasts on the global Superconducting
Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) Systems market. The global Superconducting
Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) Systems market is projected to reach US$82.7
million by 2024, driven by the growing emphasis on grid-connected renewable energy and
the ensuing need for solutions that address energy variability issues that
arise out of integrating variable renewable energy into electric grids.
Energy
storage has become an important factor for allowing electricity grids to
operate more effectively and reliably, and meet the surge in peak demand. Of
the various types of energy storage technologies, Superconducting Magnetic
Energy Storage (SMES) promises electricity storage with minimal energy loss,
due to the fact that energy is stored in the magnetic field of a
superconducting coil. SMES systems offer several advantages in the form of
faster recharging and discharging, and ability to recharge sequences several
times without any degradation of magnets. SMES systems are considered ideal for
shorter duration energy storage applications compared to other storage
technologies. However, due to the high-cost associated with the scale-up of
this technology for larger applications, SMES is yet to be applied for energy
storage in large-scale power generation requirements.
The
global market continues to grow led by the escalating demand for electricity
from end users and the subsequent demand for effective energy storage
technologies in the power sector. The ability of SMES technology to store huge
amounts of power and discharge the same in an instantaneous manner is expected
to propel deployment of SMES systems across the globe. Growth in the SMES
systems market will also be bolstered by the escalating demand for advanced
energy storage technologies in on-grid as well as off-grid applications and the rising demand for
eco-friendly storage solutions. Further, burgeoning world population,
increasing demand for energy specifically due to the digitization trend,
rapidly depleting non-renewable energy resources, and growing concerns over
climate change and energy crisis are driving governments across the globe to
focus on energy efficiency, renewable resources (such as solar, wind and
hydropower), and strengthening of electrical infrastructure systems. The high
degree of uncertainty associated with renewable power generation is expected to
necessitate the use of energy storage technologies such as SMES systems. The
increasing adoption of distributed utility concept across the world is thus
aiding growth in the market in addition to sustained advancements in
superconducting materials.
As
stated by the new market research report on Superconducting Magnetic
Energy Storage (SMES) Systems, Asia-Pacific represents the largest and the fastest
growing market worldwide, led by factors such as growing population, rapid
industrialization and robust appetite for energy; changing energy policies in
favor of renewable energy sources; growing investments in smart grids and
distributed energy storage; strong government role and support in the form of grants,
funding programs and favorable regulatory policies designed to promote adoption
and R&D of energy storage technologies.
