DIFFUSION OF DECENTRAL STATIONARY ENERGY STORAGES
Followed by the growth of fluctuating renewable energies, the utility grid demands bigger energy storage possibilities to ensure a stable energy supply. Therefore, the need of decentral stationary energy storages in the form of electrochemical batteries is increasing. The following paper addresses decentralized stationary energy storages (DSES) as an innovation. It establishes the situation of decentral stationary energy storage in Sweden based on an observation using the Charles Edquist system. Characteristics of potential adopters are pointed out, and the Rogers model of decision making is applied to the case of DSES, from persuasion until implementation and confirmation. Finally, the paper suggests five measures in order to spread the use of DSES in Sweden
