In terms of energy storage technology, Japan is supported primarily by pumped hydro and by NaS and Li-ion battery storage capability, according to the US Department of Energy.88 While Japan is the world leader in Nas battery energy storage technology, it is also the world’s second manufacturer of Pb-Acid energy storage systems.
Figure 16, is a snapshot of the interactive map of Japan’s large-scale energy storage geography, as well as its smart-grid and smart-city landscape. Overall, the map demonstrates that Japan has a visible overlap between its smart-grid infrastructure and the country’s energy storage sites.
Japan’s policy towards battery technology for energy storage systems is outlined in both Japan’s 2014 Strategic Energy Plan and the 2014 revision of the Japan Revitalization Strategy. In Japan’s Revitalization strategy, Japan has the stated goal to capture 50% of the global market for storage batteries by 2020. 2. The Energy Storage Sector a.
Global energy storage capacity was estimated to have reached 36,735MW by the end of 2022 and is forecasted to grow to 353,880MW by 2030. Japan had 1,671MW of capacity in 2022 and this is expected to rise to 10,074MW by 2030. Listed below are the five largest energy storage projects by capacity in Japan, according to GlobalData’s power database.
Japan’s energy storage landscape is widely distributed across the whole of Japan, geographically-speaking. Furthermore, Japan’s energy-storage landscape is characterized by its connection with Japan’s smart-grid and smart city landscape. a. Interactive Map of Japan’s Energy Storage Landscape
Other small-scale uses, such as data center backup energy storage are projected by NEDO to become commercially widespread in Japan before 2020. Overall, large and centralized storage technologies have been mature for a longer period of time. In Japan and in the EU, research and development efforts are heavily focusing on batteries.
