ORDER NOW

This research report analyzes utility energy storage technologies available today and in development, and profiles the leading market players. This is a comprehensive guide to opportunities for electric utilities, developers and suppliers of storage technologies, and engineering firms that design and construct installations.
HIGHLIGHTS:
- With new energy storage technologies, it is now possible to minimize the necessity for generation capacity that is required to supply power during peak periods. Storage also enables self-sufficient microgrids capable of powering homes, remote villages, or large commercial and industrial facilities.
- The next 10 years will see $400 billion invested in various smart grid technologies. The smart grid is projected by 2020 to provide a communications network for the energy industry similar to that which the Internet now provides for business and personal communications.
- Eight technologies will compete head-to-head in this market including batteries, compressed air storage, flywheels, hydrogen, superconducting magnetic energy storage, thermal energy storage, ultracapacitors, and vehicle-to-grid.
- The expected cost of electric infrastructure upgrades worldwide over the next two decades is almost $14 trillion. More than 30% of this investment serves a need that could be economically met with energy storage at the right price.

The report analyzes energy storage industry market drivers, and the economics of the various technologies, along with the installation of these technologies including batteries, compressed air, flywheels, hydrogen, pumped hydroelectric storage, superconducting magnetic energy storage, thermal energy storage, ultracapacitors, vehicle-to-grid, and includes a Technology Comparison. It also includes a directory of energy storage technology organizations.
