“…By reviewing revolutions in the market of energy storage following this product life cycle, driving factors which are responsible for the entry, exit, innovation, and growth of the storage technologies are identified and divided into four aspects, namely technical, economic, environmental, and regulatory. The review is based on several sources, from journal papers, international reports to economic journals, i.e., [3,4,7,12,[24][25][26]. Additionally, market forecast for energy storage takes into account technology priorities from the past to the present, and projections for the direction of energy storage development in the future from available articles and official reports, in order to describe a general picture of the energy storage market in the next years.…”

“…Capacity of the systems normally can be expected as less than 1 MW for electricity, or a few MW in terms of thermal supply [3]. A large number of reviews on different energy storage types for various systems can be found, i.e., [1,2,[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. These reviews have been normally done with regard to systems at medium or large scale, but very a few of them specify technology choices for small scale energy systems.…”

Abstract. This paper reviews the current status of energy storage technologies which have the higher potential to be applied in small scale energy systems. Small scale energy systems can be categorized as ones that are able to supply energy in various forms for a building, or a small area, or a limited community, or an enterprise; typically, they are end-user systems. Energy storage technologies are classified based on their form of energy stored. A twostep evaluation is proposed for selecting suitable storage technologies for small scale energy systems, including identifying possible technical options, and addressing techno-economic aspects. Firstly, a review on energy storage technologies at small scale level is carried out. Secondly, an assessment of technology readiness level (TRL) is conducted. The TRLs are ranked according to information gathered from literature review. Levels of market maturity of the technologies are addressed by taking into account their market development stages through reviewing published materials. The TRLs and the levels of market maturity are then combined into a technology maturity curve. Additionally, market driving factors are identified by using different stages in product life cycle. The results indicate that lead-acid, micro pumped hydro storage, NaS battery, NiCd battery, flywheel, NaNiCl battery, Li-ion battery, and sensible thermal storage are the most mature technologies for small scale energy systems. In the near future, hydrogen fuel cells, thermal storages using phase change materials and thermochemical materials are expected to become more popular in the energy storage market.
