Report Summary
Batteries and Ultra-Capacitors for the Smart Power Grid: Market Opportunities 2009-
2016 – While the current electrical grid is a modern marvel, the smart grid of the
future will include significant electrical storage as part of the solution to increase the
grids efficiency, enhance reliability, and help reduce the environmental impact of
supplying the electrical power needs of modern society. As a result, we believe
chemical batteries, ultra-capacitors, and the materials from which they are built
represent an exciting business opportunity that is poised to take off in the near
future. This report is designed to quantify that opportunity and identify the
best strategies to capitalize on it.

By 2016 there will be 33 GW of generating capacity on the grid from solar panels and
wind farms that can swing wildly in their ability to generate electrical power at any
given time. Electrical storage will be a requirement to level the load when the sun
doesn’t shine or the wind doesn’t blow in a predictable manner. In addition to load
leveling, grid storage will allow peak shaving where stored electricity from non peak
demand periods can be used during peak load times. Peak shaving can reduce the
need for new power plants and reduce the grids overall carbon footprint.
Chemical batteries and ultra-capacitors represent complimentary pieces of the smart
grid storage equation with ultra-capacitors used for smoothing short term disruptions
in power quality and batteries storing current for longer term load leveling and peak
shaving applications. While other technologies such as hydro and compressed air
storage will certainly be integral parts to the overall storage solution, batteries and
ultra-capacitor storage represent a large attractive near term materials growth
sector.
