Lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) have long been the dominant choice for energy storage for grid applications. Despite their widespread adoption, LiBs pose several critical challenges that threaten the sustainability and security of Japan's energy transition.
Various battery technology types are represented in Japans energy storage landscape. These range in diversity, from large-scale NaS sites with output capacity of up to 50 mW, to wind-farm-based VRFB facilities, to a 600 kW facility built of aggregated Li-ion electric vehicle batteries.
As the demand for energy storage evolves, Japan is faced with the challenge of diversifying its battery technology to enhance energy security, reduce costs, and address supply chain vulnerabilities.
At the residential level, where battery storage capacities are projected at 100,000 to 250,000 kW, life-span is also projected to increase 50 to 100%. Other small-scale uses, such as data center backup energy storage are projected by NEDO to become commercially widespread in Japan before 2020.
