Mobile Battery Energy Storage Systems are an innovative and practical solution for storage in various industries. As consumers shift towards renewable energy sources, the need for efficient and reliable storage solutions has become increasingly important. The market for this storage system is growing rapidly, driven by increasing demand for renewable sources, improvements in battery technology, and Emergence of energy-as-a-Service (EaaS) business models.
As more and more countries shift their focus towards renewable sources, the demand for storage solutions like Mobile Battery Energy Storage Systems (MBESS) has increased. This system can store excess energy generated by solar and wind power systems, providing a reliable and continuous supply of electricity. Additionally, EaaS business models are gaining popularity in this sector, enabling customers to pay for its services rather than investing in expensive infrastructure. This system is well-suited for these models, as they can be easily deployed and scaled to meet changing energy demands.
Furthermore, advancements in battery technology have made it more efficient and cost-effective. For instance, lead-acid batteries use the absorbed glass mat technology which is a type of valve-regulated lead-acid that uses a glass mat separator to hold the electrolyte in place. This technology discards the requirement for regular maintenance and reduces the risk of acid spills or leaks making it more efficient and cost-effective.
The mobile battery energy storage systems market is broadly segmented into battery type, classification, and system. The battery type segment is further categorized as lead-acid, solid-state, lithium ion, , nickel-cadmium, and others. The classification segment is further subdivided into float-in, towable, and others. The system segment includes on-grid and off-grid.
Some of the key players operating in this market are Power Edison, Greener, Chevron, Nomad Transportable Power Systems, and others. Prominent players involved in the marketplace are continuously focusing on business expansion activities through collaborations and partnerships across the value chain. For instance, in August 2022, Nomad Transportable Power Systems expanded its product portfolio, a lithium-ion based system.
Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing segment for this market owing to the increasing adoption of these renewable sources in the region, particularly in China and India, which are among the world's largest consumers of energy.
