Q&A: How China became the world''s leading market for energy storage
This has seen China become the world''s largest market for energy storage deployment. Its capacity of “new type” energy storage systems, such as batteries, quadrupled
Figure 9: Estimation of installed peak power PV and storage capacity to enable 10 % of yearly electricity usage in Sweden to be covered. It can be seen from the results that 24 GWp peak power PV is needed as well as 3.46 TWh of electricity storage capacity.
Despite this potential, solar PV's contribution to Sweden's 508 TWh/yr energy supply is today minimal, accounting for only 0.2 % (1 TWh/yr) of the total energy supply . For Sweden to further tap into this vast supply of energy, some challenges are apparent.
In conclusion, the idea of seasonal hydrogen storage for electricity might not be the ultimate path to increasing solar PV difusion in Sweden. However, the storage of energy in the more general sense in the form of hydrogen might very well be a driver that can facilitate an increase in solar PV capacity in Sweden.
Although there haven't been specific studies conducted on the usage and business models for solar storage in Sweden, the emergence of aggregation services and virtual power plant offerings shows that utilizing batteries for support services is popular.
