New Energy Technology Analysis
Energy markets are undergoing changes as a result of a variety of new
energy-using technologies. Some technologies such as natural gas combined
heat and power (CHP) systems and microturbines are increasingly commercialized
and are being installed with increasing frequency. Other technologies such
as fuel cells and residential-sized natural gas and stirling engine CHP systems
are just entering commercialization stages. The following projects reflect
a sample of consulting efforts on behalf of companies and government
organizations addressing these issues. PROJECT SAMPLES: NEW TECHNOLOGYTwo Japanese Energy Technology Manufacturing Companies: Analyzed US market potential for fuel cells and natural gas CHP systems for several companies. Forecast market potential and sales for a new combined heat and power technology under alternative equipment prices. Provided market segment detail and geographic detail to support strategic marketing plans. A Large Midwest Electric Utility: Conducted analysis of the market potential and market penetration of combined heat and power in midwest states. Analysis included forecasts under alternative electricity, natural gas, and equipment costs. A US Fuel Cell Manufacturing Company: Conducted analysis of potential customer hourly energy use and market characteristics for new technology products. A European-Based Power Generation Equipment Manufacturer: Conducted microturbine market potential analysis for fifty US utility services areas. A Large US Power-Generation Equipment Manufacturer: Provided customer-detailed microsimulation databases and consulting support in product design and market potential analysis of fuel cell and CHP technologies for both residential and commercial building applications. Electric Utility Energy Service Company: Developed an online new combined heat and power technology analysis and forecasting system for individual electric utility service areas in the US. Oak Ridge National Laboratory: Conducted market potential analysis of new coal-fired technologies. National Renewable Energy Laboratory: Conducted market penetration analysis of solar technologies through 2020. |
