Frost & Sullivan released analysis of Lithium Ion battery in data centres
Sanjay Kumar Sainani , Global SVP and CTO , for Data Centre Business Unit of Huawei , explains to us why lithium-ion batteries in data centres feature longer service life , less footprint , low load bearing requirements , simple maintenance , environmental protection and reliable stability than lead-acid batteries .
Global authoritative consulting firm , Frost & Sullivan , recently released Analysis of Lithium Ion Battery in Data Centres . The report provides industry trends and insights , including the comprehensive interpretation and analysis on Li-ion Battery Application Status and Requirements , Data Centre Li-ion Battery Market Size , Data Centre Li-ion Battery Market Application Scenario Analysis and Solutions to Improve Reliability of Li-ion Battery .
According to Frost & Sullivan , Li ion batteries account for 15 % of data centre battery market in 2020 , but with the increasing use of lithium-ion batteries in data centres , this is expected to increase to 38.5 % by 2025 . Compared with lead-acid batteries , Li-ion batteries feature longer service life , less footprint , low load bearing requirements , simple maintenance , environmental protection , and reliable stability . Therefore , Li-ion batteries will become the first choice for data centre backup power in the future .
Benefits of Li-ion batteries
1 . Initial cost : One of the primary concern for data centre operators regarding Li-ion batteries is the significantly higher initial costs . Li-ion batteries are typically 1.3 to 2 times more expensive than lead-acid batteries .
Steady decline in battery price is likely to be witnessed , with prices to eventually go below US $ 100 per kWh by 2028 . This trend is expected to offset the concern on initial cost .
