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.
The interactive map includes GPS coordinates for Japan’s primary energy storage sites, as well as capacity, launch year, primary operator/owner, and a brief description of the site. One immediately apparent trend demonstrated by the interactive map is the distribution of Japan’s energy storage sites.
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.
Japan’s total battery storage capacity is considerably smaller than its overall pumped hydro energy storage capacity. This can be attributed to the question of technological comparative maturity between pumped hydro energy storage technology and the various battery storage technologies.
The plan also calls for the widespread promotion of energy efficient management systems (EMS) in Japan. At the national level, and in a long-term strategic sense, this context has given rise to the structural demand for energy storage infrastructure on Japan’s energy market.
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.
