ElectroniCast Global Market Forecast
The use of lithium-ion capacitors as independent power supplies in combination with photovoltaic panels is being considered for a wide range of devices such as streetlights, roadside signage/displays, airfield lighting, surveillance cameras, and security sensors. 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 solar power generation.
Market Forecast Application Categories This chapter presents the ElectroniCast market forecast for the years 2011-2021 for the worldwide consumption (use) of lithium-ion capacitors (LICs) used in solar photovoltaic power generation applications. Regional and sub-regional market forecasts are also presented and segmented by two major End-User categories:
· Government/Commercial
· Residential/Non-Specific
Market Forecast Functions The estimate of 2011 plus the market forecast (2012-2021) is presented for Lithium-Ion capacitors for use with solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation. The Lithium-Ion capacitor (LIV) market forecast data are segmented by the following functions:
· Consumption Value (US$, million)
· Quantity (number/Farad: Million)
· Average Selling Prices (ASP $, each Farad)
The consumption of lithium-ion capacitors is very much in the development stage (or infancy stage) of its product life cycle (PLC), especially in conjunction with the use solar photovoltaic power (solar panels).
There are many different sources of energy (coal, nuclear, natural gas, hydro, oil), therefore, the use of solar photovoltaic products, as well as other alternative or renewable energy solutions are constantly striving to serve the needs of consumers.
The Government/Commercial category, with an emphasis on the government sector using solar panel/light emitting diode (LED) streetlights, is forecast to lead the marketplace during the forecast period (2011-2021).
The Residential category also includes “other” applications, which typically fall under the non-specific group based mostly on the web-based sale channels or other distribution channel where it often difficult to ascertain the final user-group of the product.
Advantages of Using Solar Photovoltaic Streetlights The Government/ Commercial application is forecast to maintain its market share dominance versus the Residential/Other user-group category, because of the availability of conventional electricity source at the home. However, in the Government/ Commercial end-use category, the initial target product will be solar panels used for LED-based streetlights areas, as well as market driven by government-based subsidies/environmental programs (green projects). Other advantages of using solar photovoltaic streetlights versus conventional include the following:
· Zero cost of electricity and High economic returns: no bill because it is a stand-alone.
· Maximum safety from electrical shock: maximum safety against electric shock-induced, as the system and 24VDC supply voltage is not dangerous to humans.
· Rehabilitation of old poles and underground cables by recycling: reuse of pole at other sites, replacing existing with streetlights solar. Recycling of copper and other metal components.
· No excavations with zero problems relating to traffic: zero cost and no excavation for the laying of cables for power lines both in low and medium voltage, no problem to vehicular traffic on the section covered.
· Zero power lines maintenance: No problem of additional costs for maintenance and safety of the conduits and structures.
· Zero problems with black-out: No blackout resulted from lack of energy or damage to underground lines, in case of battery could only occur on the lamp only interested in leaving the other service. Furthermore, the minimum duration of the LED lamp and estimated at least 50,000 hours of operation of 11 years to average 12 hours per day
· Very low installation cost: costs are only related to the concrete foundation and the rental of any machinery such as cranes or elevators for wiring no excavation
· Zero CO2 emissions: no emissions of CO2 and respect for the environment, the materials used are recycled to 90%; offering a idea of providing a green urban management and environment care
· Ability to reconfigure the positioning of the fixture: If you need changes to the road (crosses, squares or buildings) can re position the lamps without having to change anything quickly and without cost of excavation.
