Market Overview

Japan is working to increase its utilization of renewable energy in its power grid. Japan has actively promoted the use of renewable energy sources and has set lofty targets for energy storage deployment. It has set a target of 3 to 4 gigawatts of battery storage capacity by 2030, demonstrating the government's commitment to the renewable energy sector. Renewables, such as solar and wind, are, nevertheless, transient energy sources, therefore energy storage devices are critical in balancing supply and demand. Battery energy storage improves out oscillations in renewable energy production and offers a constant and reliable power supply.

The requirement for incorporating intermittent renewable energy sources like solar and wind into the grid, increasing grid stability and reliability, and handling peak demand challenges are the key drivers for the battery energy storage market in Japan. Because of the country's susceptibility to natural disasters like as earthquakes and typhoons, Japan is particularly interested in energy storage devices. For instance, the Fukushima nuclear tragedy in 2011 sparked a move in the country toward a more diversified and robust energy infrastructure. During an emergency, battery energy storage can supply backup power and aid in disaster management operations. Furthermore, Japan is the market leader in advancing the use of electric vehicles, and the inclusion of EVs with battery energy storage is currently gaining traction. It enables vehicle-to-grid (V2G) applications, in which EVs can discharge stored energy back to the grid during high-demand periods, by employing EV batteries for energy storage.

Additionally, the Japanese government has backed the battery energy storage industry with numerous laws and subsidies. For example, they implemented feed-in tariffs for renewable energy sources, such as energy storage devices, which aided in investment and deployment. Also, the government has established grants and tax breaks to stimulate the use of energy storage systems. Furthermore, the recent decline in lithium-ion battery prices is having a significant impact on the expansion of the battery energy storage business. Because of reduced battery prices, battery energy storage is becoming more accessible, profitable, and appealing as an alternative for providing a stable and uninterrupted power supply.

However, the high capital investment needed to deploy battery energy storage devices is limiting industry expansion. These systems are mostly used in large BESS plants to meet peak energy demand. Lithium-ion batteries are expensive because they have a high energy density, a low self-discharge rate, and need less maintenance. But lithium-ion battery prices are projected to fall in the future. Furthermore, battery energy storage systems necessitate additional infrastructure such as power conversion systems, control systems, thermal management systems, and safety precautions. These components increase the system's total expenditures.
