Market Forecast & Analysis: 2015-2025
This ElectroniCast report provides a market forecast
and analysis of the worldwide use of lithium-ion capacitors (Li-ion capacitor
LIC) used as energy storage devices in renewable energy: wind power generation
and solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation applications.
A capacitor is an electrical device that stores or releases electricity
through rapid electrostatic reactions. Compared with a battery that stores
electricity through slow chemical reactions, a capacitor makes it possible to
charge and discharge electricity almost instantaneously with a long cycle
life.
Lithium-Ion Capacitors (LICs) have a higher power density as compared to
batteries and LIC’s are safer in use than Lithium-Ion Batteries (LIBs), since
thermal runaway reactions may occur with the LIBs. Compared to an Electric
Double-Layer Capacitor (EDLC), the lithium-ion capacitor has a higher output
voltage. They both have similar power densities, but energy density of a lithium-ion
capacitor
is higher.
Lithium-ion capacitors are characterized by an ability to charge with
even weak current, and as a result, demand is expected to increase
substantially in environmentally friendly fields such as wind and solar power
generation. The use of lithium-ion capacitors as independent power supplies in
combination with wind turbines (wind power) and photovoltaic (PV) panels is
being considered for a wide range of devices such as LED-based streetlights,
surveillance cameras, security sensors, and other applications.
Wind Turbine Power Wind power is the conversion of wind
energy into a useful form of energy, such as using wind turbines to make
electricity.
Solar Panels - Photovoltaics (PV) Photovoltaics (PV) is a method of
generating electrical power by converting solar radiation into direct current
electricity using semiconductors that exhibit the photovoltaic effect.
Photovoltaic power generation employs solar panels composed of a number of
solar cells containing a photovoltaic material.
Combined (Hybrid) Wind and Solar Electric Systems The
peak operating times for wind and solar systems occur at different times of the
day and year; therefore, a small “hybrid” electric system that combines wind
and solar technologies can offer several advantages over either single system.
LIC Forecast by Renewable Energy Product-Type The market forecast
and analysis of the consumption of lithium-ion capacitors is segmented into the
following power generation products:
·
Standalone wind turbine
·
Standalone solar
photovoltaic (PV)
·
Hybrid (combined) wind turbine and solar photovoltaic (PV)
LIC Market Forecast Application Categories The use of LICs are
also segmented by
two major End-User categories:
·
Government/Commercial
·
Residential/Non-Specific
The Government/Commercial category, with an emphasis
on the government sector using wind and solar PV light emitting diode (LED)
streetlights, as well as roadway signage and signals.
The historical (actual)
data for 2015 plus the market forecast (2016-2025) is presented for Lithium-Ion
capacitors for use with wind turbine and/or solar photovoltaic
(PV) power generation. The Lithium-Ion capacitor (LIC) market
forecast data are segmented by the following functions:
·
Consumption Value (US$,
million)
·
Quantity (number/Farad:
Million)
·
Average Selling Prices (ASP
$, each Farad)
Nominal Capacitance - Farad (F) The farad (symbol: F) is the SI
unit of capacitance (SI is the International System of Units). Capacitance is the ability of a capacitor to
store energy in an electric field. Capacitance is also a measure of the amount
of electric potential energy stored (or separated) for a given electric
potential.
Geographic Region Segments The market data of LICs in wind/solar products in the selected
end-user applications are presented by their use in the following regional segments and sub-regions:
·

Information Base
This study is based on analysis of
information obtained continually over the past several years, but updated
through mid-February 2016. During this
period, ElectroniCast analysts performed interviews with authoritative and
representative individuals in the capacitor, battery, fuel cell, wind turbine,
solar photovoltaic
product(s) manufacturing (materials, chips, cells, packaging, modules, devices,
associated parts/pieces, fittings/fixtures) and building/facility management,
local/state and federal government policy and management, LED street lighting
manufacturers, LED signage and signal manufacturers, security video camera
installers, facility security/sensors, product distributors, retail store
management, import/export, and other.
The interviews were conducted principally
with:
·
Engineers, marketing personnel and
management at manufacturers of LIBs, EDLCs, LICs, and wind turbine and solar panels/photovoltaic (materials,
packaged LICs, solar panels, wind turbine/parts) as well as other related technologies.
·
Design group leaders, engineers,
marketing personnel and market planners at major users and potential users of
wind turbine and solar panels and lithium-ion capacitors (LICs).
·
Other industry experts, including
those focused on standards activities, intellectual property (IP)/patents,
trade associations, and venture capital/financial investments.
The interviews covered issues of
technology, R&D support, pricing, contract size, reliability, documentation,
installation/maintenance crafts, standards, supplier competition and other
topics.
Customers and distributors also
were interviewed, to obtain their estimates of quantities received and average
prices paid. Customer estimates of
historical and expected near term future growth of their application are
obtained. Their views of use of new technology products were obtained.
The analyst then considered customer
expectations of near term growth in their application, plus forecasted economic
payback of investment, technology trends and changes in government regulations,
to derive estimated growth rates of quantity and price of the product in each
application. These forecasted growth rates are combined with the estimated
baseline data to obtain the long-range forecasts at the LIC (product) and each
application.
A full review of published information
was also performed to supplement information obtained through interviews. The
following sources were reviewed:
·
Press releases
- Financial
reports and Product Roadmaps
- Web site
background information
- Vendor
production information
- Patent and
Intellectual Property (IP) analysis
- End-User
Application information
- Other published
information
In analyzing and forecasting the
complexities of the American and other world region markets for wind turbine
products, solar
photovoltaic products and lithium-ion capacitors, it is
essential that the market research team have a good and a deep understanding of
the technology and of the industry. ElectroniCast members who participated in
this report were qualified.
Bottom-up Methodology ElectroniCast forecasts,
as illustrated in the forecast data structure, are developed initially at the
lowest detail level, then summed to successively higher levels.
