Less than a decade ago, South Korean companies held over half of the global energy storage system (ESS) market with the rushed promise of helping secure a more sustainable energy future. However, a string of ESS-related fires and a lack of infrastructure had dampened investments in this market.
The Gyeongsan Substation – Battery Energy Storage System is a 48,000kW lithium-ion battery energy storage project located in Jillyang-eup, North Gyeongsang, South Korea. The rated storage capacity of the project is 12,000kWh. The electro-chemical battery storage project uses lithium-ion battery storage technology.
The Ulsan Substation Energy Storage System is a 32,000kW lithium-ion battery energy storage project located in Namgu, Ulsan, South Korea. The rated storage capacity of the project is 8,000kWh. The electro-chemical battery storage project uses lithium-ion battery storage technology. The project was announced in 2016 and will be commissioned in 2017.
This was a heavy hit for the energy industry, but developments of safer technology and renewed state support have recently given new life to the domestic ESS market. According to South Korea's “10th Basic Plan for Electricity Supply and Demand,” the government aims to capture over 30 percent of the global ESS market by 2036.
