Electrical Energy Storage is
a multi-billion dollar business,
but is limited by the cost, capability and reliability
of batteries and other available systems.
Progress in existing
and new storage technologies will
unlock still larger opportunities in Power System Management, Distributed/Renewable Energy,
Power Quality and Transportation markets.
Market drivers include
global electricity industry deregulation,
ever-more stringent air quality standards, security concerns, progress in associated technologies (e.g.
power electronics, renewables), and the quest
for improved vehicular powertrains.
Hundreds
of organizations are now developing storage technologies
and subsystems. Many others are investing in the area or evaluating
the opportunities and threats. All need reliable information. However, information
from within the sector is
often dangerously optimistic. This creates a dilemma for strategic planners and potential
investors.
The problem is made
more difficult by:
 the
pace of development - many of the eventual winners
and losers will be determined by decisions made
over the next few years
technical
novelty- most of the new storage technologies
are at an early stage of development with limited
field experience
risk
issues - the technical risk is compounded by the
scale of some of the potential markets, where failure
would carry huge penalties
market
diversity - developers and investors need to
consider the wide range of prospective applications, each
with their own special needs.
EscoVale’s energy
storage study is the latest in a series
of independent management reports on influential
new technologies. Others in the series, on fuel
cells and microturbines are also concerned with distributed
energy and transportation markets. They provide
authoritative information to clients from 30 countries
in six continents. The depth of global interest
is illustrated by orders for some 500 reports
in this series. This also underlines EscoVale’s role
as a leading adviser to industry, government and potential
investors.
The current program focuses on
long-duration energy storage (for applications typically requiring
sufficient stored energy for an hour or more of power delivery). The reports are designed for analysts
and decision-makers from:
- technology developers, government agencies and research centers
- suppliers of materials, components and services to the storage sector
- the electricity supply and renewable energy industries
- energy, automotive and equipment companies
- investors and their consultants / advisers.
Subscribers will receive:
Management reports
(now and over the coming
year, evaluating applications and opportunities in the long-duration
storage market, and examining an expanding range of storage technologies
and their developers).
Four
days of individual consultancy time to
ensure that they extract the
most from the resources
devoted to this project. This may be used
to undertake work in parallel with the research;
to discuss the results after publication; or to
explore further an area of special interest.
