Research and Markets: Batteries and Supercapacitors for the Smart Grid - New 2013 Report
Jan. 7, 2013 11:22 AM
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/cnr9r9/batteries_and)
has announced the addition of the "Batteries
and Supercapacitors for the Smart Grid - 2013" report to their
offering.
Energy storage is a vital component of the Smart Grids that are
currently being built around the world. These grids are designed to
improve the reliability of electricity transmission and distribution,
facilitate the integration of renewable energy generators, and allow
long-distance trading of electricity supplies. All of these functions
require the grid to offer buffers where electricity can be stored
locally.
However, for the most part the technologies up to this task have not
been available. To the extent that grids have incorporated storage it
has either been through the use of conventional batteries originally
targeted towards the automotive industry and which are not optimal for
grid storage or through major engineering projects such as compressed
air storage which are impossible to replicate generally.
While we believe that this report will become required reading for
battery and supercapacitor firms, this report also spells out the
potential for materials companies and specialty chemical firms who
NanoMarkets believes will find considerable new business potential
supplying advanced materials - especially nanomaterials - for newer
forms of grid storage. In addition, NanoMarkets believes that this
report will be of considerable use to utilities and other firms directly
involved in the Smart Grid business, since it will show them how the
next-generation of batteries and supercaps for Smart Grids will help to
enable Smart Grid deployment.
This new report from NanoMarkets reviews the latest applications for
grid storage and shows where money can be made in the near-to-medium
term future by supplying the batteries and supercapacitors that will
meet the coming storage requirements of the grid.
This report provides granular eight-year forecasts of chemical batteries
and supercapacitors in both volume shipments and market value, with
breakouts by technology type, application, and regions supplied. In
addition, this report provides detailed assessments of the strategies
being utilized by leading firms active in this space.
