The next step was to validate these findings, assumptions, and market sizing with industry experts across the value chain through primary research. In November 2018, the National Energy Administration of China disclosed that it might increase its solar target in 2020 to at least 210 GW and has the potential to reach as high as 270 GW. Solar energy has experienced an average annual growth rate of 49% globally due to strong federal policy mechanisms to encourage the adoption of the energy, Investment Tax Credit for solar power, and increasing demand for clean energy from both public and private sectors across all major economies in North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific region.

Thermal energy storage, in the form of sensible heat, is based on the specific heat of a storage medium, which is kept in storage tanks with high thermal insulation. The deployment of decentralized renewable energy is powering a disrupting transformation of the energy sector. Hydro contributed 1,200 TWh (increased by 3.2%), wind contributed 366 TWh (increased by 20%), PV contributed 177.5 TWh (increased by 50%), and biomass contributed 90.6 TWh (increased by 14%) to the countrys overall energy generation from renewables. The economic viability of a TES depends heavily on application and operation needs, including the number and frequency of storage cycles. The latent heat storage segment is the fastest-growing during the forecasted period. Both top-down and bottom-up approaches were used to estimate the total market size. After arriving at the overall market sizeusing the market size estimation processes as explained abovethe market was split into segments and subsegments. Molten salts are the most commonly used storage media for thermal energy storage as these have higher boiling points and high volumetric heat capacities. In the US, pumped-storage hydropower (PSH) is by far the most popular form of energy storage which accounts for 95% of utility-scale energy storage. The cost of a complete system for sensible heat storage ranges between Euros 0.1/kWh10/kWh (USD 0.11/kWh10.7/kWh), depending on the size, application, and thermal insulation technology. The thermal energy storage is driven by major factors such as increasing demand for electricity and the rising consumption of solar CSP.

Which region dominates during the forecasted period in the thermal energy storage market? What are the major drivers for the thermal energy storage market? In 2021, renewable energy capacity addition is projected to increase with the resumption of the majority of the delayed projects.

The speedy growth of decentralized renewable energy technologies is likely to change the structure of the energy sector towards a multi-operator set-up in which large utilities interact with captive consumers and mini-utilities. This will lead to a rebound in new installations, and as a result, the next year is forecast to reach the same level of renewable electricity capacity additions as in 2019. Choosing the appropriate technology ensures that the installation helps a commercial facility to consume electricity in as cost-effective manner as possible. Thermal energy storage stocks solar thermal energy by cooling or heating a storage medium, such as sand, rocks, water, and molten salt, in order to use the stored energy later for cooling and heating applications and power generation. Various primary sources from both the supply and demand sides of the market were interviewed to obtain qualitative and quantitative information. - 93) 9.1 INTRODUCTION FIGURE 31 DISTRICT HEATING & COOLING SEGMENT IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO ACCOUNT FOR LARGEST SIZE OF MARKET DURING 20202025 TABLE 24 MARKET SIZE, BY APPLICATION, 20182025 (USD THOUSAND) 9.2 POWER GENERATION 9.2.1 UPCOMING CSP PROJECTS TO DRIVE POWER GENERATION APPLICATION OF THERMAL ENERGY STORAGE TABLE 25 POWER GENERATION: MARKET SIZE, BY REGION, 20182025 (USD THOUSAND) 9.3 DISTRICT HEATING & COOLING 9.3.1 EVOLVING SMART CITY CONCEPT AND HVAC APPLICATIONS IN MIDDLE EAST AND EUROPEAN COUNTRIES IS DRIVING MARKET GROWTH TABLE 26 DISTRICT HEATING & COOLING: MARKET SIZE, BY REGION, 20182025 (USD THOUSAND) 9.4 PROCESS HEATING & COOLING 9.4.1 INCREASING DEMAND FOR THERMAL ENERGY STORAGE TO PROVIDE HEATING AND COOLING SOLUTIONS FOR ENERGY-INTENSIVE INDUSTRIES IS FUELING MARKET GROWTH TABLE 27 PROCESS HEATING & COOLING: MARKET SIZE, BY REGION, 20182025 (USD THOUSAND), 10 THERMAL ENERGY STORAGE MARKET, BY END USER (Page No. According to the IEA estimates, the number of new renewable power installations worldwide is set to fall in 2020 as a result of the unprecedented global COVID-19 crisis. After that, the market breakdown and data triangulation were done to estimate the market size of the segments and subsegments. According to the IEA, CSP generation increased by an estimated 34% in 2019 and is expected to grow in coming years as well. Thermal energy storage systems are incorporated in electric utility plants as a viable demand-side management option. The decline is represented by delays in construction activities due to supply chain disruptions caused mainly by China, lockdown measures across all major economies, social-distancing guidelines for workers, and the subsequent financing challenges. The COVID-19 impact is further intensified by policy uncertainties associated with the newly financed renewable energy projects, just before the COVID-19 outbreak. This study involved four major activities in estimating the current market size. Many utilities currently offer time-of-day pricing to their customers and sell power at a lower price during off-peak hours. Some of the key CSP thermal energy storage technologies include single-tank thermocline system, two-tank indirect system, and two-tank direct system. Similarly, the Spanish government raised its renewable energy target to 74% by 2030, and also aims to add 157 GW of renewable energy capacity. In contrast, the entire building load cannot be backed up with just thermal storage. Attempts of European nations to meet carbon reduction targets, shift from coal-fired power generation, and simultaneous hike in renewable energy generation will also support the case for dispatchable CSP plants with storage. For the analysis of the COVID-19 impact on the market, we have considered key parameters such as the impact of COVID-19 on electricity demand and power sector investment. All these factors have been considered for the scenario analysis of COVID-19 impact on the global thermal energy storage market. This facilitates uninterrupted operations of CSP plants. Most of the battery storage projects that system operators (ISOs/RTOs) develop are for short-term energy storage and are not built to replace the traditional grid. To achieve 100% electrification rate by 2030, the share of decentralized renewable energy share will need to increase significantly. These methods were also used extensively to estimate the size of various subsegments in the market. To complete the overall market engineering process and arrive at the exact statistics of each market segment and subsegment, the data triangulation, and market breakdown procedures were employed, wherever applicable. These facilities are used for grid reliability, to integrate renewables into the grid, and to provide relief to the energy grid during peak hours. Leading players in the global thermal energy storage market are Abengoa Solar, Burns & McDonnell, SolarReserve, BrightSource Energy, Calmac, MAN Energy Solutions, and Baltimore Air Coil Technology, with high-end technological innovation. This marks the first annual decline in 20 years since 2000 for renewable energy capacity addition.
