Dublin, Dec. 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Escape from Batteries Creates Large New Markets milliWh-GWh: Forecasts in 40 lines, Technologies 2025-2045" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
In a recent comprehensive report, an array of battery alternatives has been revealed that are poised to redefine the storage market over the next two decades. From supercapacitors to lithium-ion capacitors, and innovative large-scale grid storage solutions like lifting blocks and underground pumped hydro, these technologies show significant promise. The desire to transition from traditional batteries to alternatives stems from a variety of factors, including scalability, non-flammability, and the reduction in capacity fade and self-leakage. This shift is particularly relevant as renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power demand more robust and enduring storage solutions.
The report also covers the elimination of storage as seen in next solar desalination, some drones and some planned 6G Communications devices. Add the in-between option of battery-free sensors, building controls and IOT nodes with energy harvesting sold by Dracula, EnOcean, 8Power and others.
Electronics and electrical designers now first consider if they need batteries - from chip to power station - because the new battery-free options are often far better. This report assesses hundreds of companies that can now supply and the remarkable new research advances through 2024.
