The distributed energy storage system (DES) technology is an important part of the solution. The DES can help building owners and energy consumers reduce costs and ensures reliability and additional revenue through on-site generation and dynamic load management.
Through planning and deployment, with its excellent system resilience and efficiency, the distributed energy storage systems can also achieve the unification of economic, social and environmental benefits, decrease grid costs, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and extend power supply.
As the global energy landscape evolves, Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) have emerged as a critical component of modern power systems. These small-scale, decentralized energy systems help increase grid resilience, lower energy costs, and promote the adoption of renewable energy.
When energy generation occurs through distributed energy resources, it’s referred to as distributed generation. While DER systems use a variety of energy sources, they’re often associated with renewable energy technologies such as rooftop solar panels and small wind turbines.
Energy storage is the capturing and holding of energy in reserve for later use. Examples of energy storage technologies used as distributed energy resources include: Battery storage is the most common form of electricity storage.
While both terms relate to decentralized power generation, distributed energy resources encompass a broader range of technologies, including energy storage and load management systems while distributed generation focuses primarily on power production.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 250% in the past two years. Containerized energy storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial and industrial storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 42% market share, driven by corporate sustainability initiatives and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 18-28%. Europe follows closely with 35% market share, where standardized industrial storage designs have cut installation timelines by 65% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 50% CAGR, with manufacturing scale reducing system prices by 20% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting industrial storage solutions for peak shaving and backup power, with typical payback periods of 2-4 years.
