NanoMarkets Report Says Smart Grids Will Use $6.1 Billion in Electrical Storage Products in 2018

Leave a comment

NanoMarkets has published a new report titled, “Batteries and Supercapacitors for the Smart Grid-2013.”

Glen Allen, Virginia – December 14, 2012 — Industry analyst firm NanoMarkets has published a new report titled, “Batteries and Supercapacitors for the Smart Grid-2013.” This report claims the grid-storage market will reach $6.1 billion (USD) by 2018 making energy storage one of the fastest growing opportunities in the smart grid industry.

Additional details about the report are available at: http://nanomarkets.net/market_reports/report/batteries_and_supercapacitors_for_the_smart_grid_2013.

This report provides analysis of worldwide grid-storage markets products including lead-acid, lead-carbon, lithium-ion, sodium-sulfur, sodium-nickel-chloride, and flow batteries, along with ultrabatteries and supercapacitors. Retail, wholesale and microgrid opportunities are covered, along with how frequency regulation, regenerative energy capture and renewable power integration, will impact demand for grid storage. Eight-year revenue and volume projections are included with breakouts by application, storage technology, and geographical region.

Companies discussed include: Advanced Battery, Altair, Ambri, Aquion, Axion, Boston Power, C&D, Cellennium, Cellstrom, China BAK, China Ritar Power, Cobasys, Deeya Energy, Ecoult, Energ2, Enersys, Exide, Fiamm Sonik, Firefly, Sonik, GE, GeoBattery, Hitachi, Johnson Controls, Kyushu Electric, Maxwell, Mitsubishi, NEC, Nesscap, Nexeon, Navitas, NGK, Panasonic/Sanyo, Premium Power, Prudent Energy, REDT, Revolt, SAFT, Siemens, Sumitomo, TEPCO, Ultralife, V-Fuel, Wanxiang and ZBB.

From the report:

The default option for grid batteries today is lead-acid, accounting for more than 55% of revenues from grid batteries currently. By 2018, this share will decline to around 30% as new grid battery technologies become commercialized. The lead-acid battery will itself get an upgrade; carbon electrodes, promising a 4x performance improvement. In addition, the ultrabattery, with combination lead/carbon electrodes will compete for grid-storage markets. In 2018, lead-carbon batteries/ultrabatteries will generate around $300 million in revenues.

Grid storage for remote locations, microgrids and cell phone towers are already economically viable. This is driving demand for lead-acid and Zebra (sodium-nickel-chloride) batteries. Another wave of storage deployment is about to occur on the customer side of the meter for power-quality, peak-shaving and grid-stability applications creating demand for flow and lithium-ion batteries. During this second wave the penetration of renewables will rise above 20%, making grid storage necessary to stabilize the grid because of intermittent generation. A final wave of grid storage is expected for retail peak shifting applications.

Although lithium-ion batteries are receiving considerable attention, it is immature and high cost and its current growth relies on government subsidies. When subsidies disappear, sodium-sulfur and Zebra batteries will be a better deal for power companies and large end users than lithium-ion. The best hope for lithium batteries is where a supplier who is committed to lithium sells it as part of a comprehensive solution such as for smart buildings. Jonson Controls and SAFT are doing this. Revenues from lithium batteries are expected to reach $775 million by 2018.

Supercapacitors will become integral to grid storage, as costs go down and capacities increase. By 2018, supercaps will generate $1.1 billion in revenues from grid-storage, especially regenerative braking on grid-attached light rail and frequency regulation. Here supercaps can result in a 30% reduction in electrical costs. The long lifetimes and near-zero maintenance for supercapacitors make them attractive for such applications. Supercaps will improve performance with new materials; including nano-structured metal oxides, perovoskites, nanotubes and graphene increasing capacity 5-10 times compared to activated-carbon supercapacitors.

The IAPAM leads its competitors in offering the most complete botox training and aesthetic medicine education in North America.

Las Vegas, Nevada, USA – December 14, 2012 — In 2013, attendees at the IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposiums will have the competitive advantage of learning from board-certified dermatologists and experts in the fields of botox injection training, lasers & IPLs, dermal fillers, hCG for weight loss, medical grade chemical peels and medical micordermabrasion. Beyond the hands-on botox training and aesthetic medical instruction, the resources (consent forms, medical history forms, job descriptions, patient resources, business plan examples, marketing samples, etc.) included with registration at the IAPAM’s Symposium, position it as the most respected, all-inclusive, and supportive physician training association in North America.

The International Association for Physicians in Aesthetic Medicine’s (IAPAM) Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with hands-on botox training is different than any other physician training program offered in North America. The IAPAM (http://www.iapam.com) offers comprehensive aesthetic medicine education and long term support for physicians of all medical specialties. The IAPAM is where the world’s physicians come together to learn and share their experiences in aesthetic medicine. The IAPAM offers a suite of aesthetic medical training programs from botox training (http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com) to hCG training (http://www.hcgtraining.com), along with aesthetic practice business training.

Unlike programs offered by a private company, attendees who complete the Aesthetic Medicine Symposium are certified by the IAPAM, a voluntary professional association of physicians and supporters, which sets standards for the aesthetic medical profession.

Attendees at the IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium receive significant value for money. The Symposium provides physicians with:

– dedicated instruction from board-certified dermatologists, who are true experts of the skin and cosmetic injectables.
– hands-on practice in the best injection techniques.
– delivery of the hands-on portion of the botox training at a medical practice, not in a hotel room.
– a set of 19 DVDs, which cover all the business aspects of launching a medispa, as well as clinical training in:

1.Botulinum Toxin for Cosmetic Patients – lecture.
2.Botulinum Toxin and Dermal Fillers for Cosmetic Patients – live demonstration.
3.Chemical Peel and Microdermabrasion – live demonstration of techniques.

– an environment that does not allow exhibitors, giving doctors more time for education.
– the opportunity to attend the Symposium’s Aesthetic Practice Startup Workshop on Monday January 28, 2013, which is the only medical spa program highlighting the latest information on medspa business development and social media marketing.
– the unique opportunity to attend the full-day session on hCG and Medical Weight Management on Friday, January 25, 2013. This session will cover hCG for weight loss, the original Dr. Simeons hCG Protocol, prescription appetite suppressants, ketogenic diet based programs, meal replacement and B6/12 injections.

Since 2006, almost 1,000 physicians (MDs, DOs, NPs, PAs, and DDSs), as well as their accompanying medspa managers, registered nurses, medical aestheticians, medical assistants and clinic assistants, have attended the IAPAM’s weekend Aesthetic Medicine Symposiums and the NEW and IMPROVED hCG Physician Training sessions, now featuring the IAPAM’s ENHANCED Clean Start hCG Weight Loss Program and Patient Resources.

The IAPAM’s suite of training programs offers physicians a unique educational experience in a resort location from a renowned faculty. Join the hundreds of physicians who have the IAPAM advantage.
