Research Content:
I Outlook on Stationary ESS (Energy Storage Systems) Battery Market
n "How should ESS be" is currently groped for.
n System that built with users are what should be introduced.
n The market is estimated to achieve 1.26 million kWh in FY2015, which may grow further, 9 times larger than that by FY2020.
n The market growth is likely to be driven by the government policy on subsidies/funds and by the demand to switch from existing batteries.
n Business-use batteries remain to grow even later than FY2013.
n Home-use batteries may grow by means of packaging sales by housing manufacturers.
n Quick-charge systems may be boosted by subsidies from the local governments.
n The batteries market is no doubt on the rise, but it is difficult to estimate in the long-term view.
n "Optimum spec" and "optimum price" should be figured out with users within the next few years.
n Outlook for FY2012, Estimation for FY2020.
II Stationary （ESS） Market
Lead–Acid Battery Market
l Cycle-use lead-acid batteries has been marketed and developed at each company, aiming to acquire demands from new markets.
l Though 90% of the market currently is consisted of those batteries for UPS, they are likely to decline in the future.
l Future growth relies on efforts to increase adoption rate at new markets
l Lead-acid batteries for stationary batteries are yet to be matured. They are in the innovative era for growth.
LIB Market
l LIB market is the largest potential among new stationary batteries. With many companies likely to enter, the market is sure to be highly competitive.
l Because of enhanced sales by housing makers, home-use LIB-battery systems may show rapid growth in FY2012.
l The market in the latter half of this fiscal year is expecting encouragement from the subsidy system.
l Driven by Green New Deal Funds, business-use battery system market is estimated to raise its presence from FY2014 to FY2015.
l LIB-embedded charger system, which can also be an emergent infrastructure, is likely to be largely adopted in public facilities.
l If the market fails to jump on the bandwagon of charging needs nearby, there is no expanding after subsidies are over.
Nickel Hydride Battery Market
l GIGACELL from Kawasaki Heavy Industries has succeeded in proactive commercialization.
l Kawasaki Heavy Industries views the development of the batteries for grid（-connected） power, but currently the company focuses on developing those for train systems.
l Toyota has started demonstration experiments for diverse batteries for hybrid cars
l The market size for FY2012 is estimated to attain several hundred million yen, mainly for the train systems because of energy-storage effects.
l The market size for FY2015 may be 2 to 4 times larger than that of FY2012
Redox Flow Battery Market
l The market is driven by the momentum towards power generation from natural-energies.
l There may be influx of multiple companies to enter the market at an early stage.
l After NEDO’s ‘Moonlight Project’ （1978～1992）, the world’s first full-practical system was successfully developed in 2001.
l Lately, the mainstream is electrolyte of vanadium.
l It has many advantages as a battery with large-capacity, but requires relatively large space for placing it.
l Vanadium-related costs occupy half the entire costs. Key for cost reduction lies in raw supply and processing technology for electrolyte.
l The market has expanded since Sumitomo Electric has entered the market, aiming for renewable-energy interconnection/stabilization.
Na-S Battery Market
l NGK Insulators, Ltd. succeeded in practical use and acquired awareness after trademark registration.
l After various break-through, NaS has been fully in practical use since 2003.
l A fire accident triggered safety measures and cost reduction.
l NAS traditionally rely on large cases.
l Potential demands can be expected in overseas market.
