Market
The global energy
market is projected to grow by over two-thirds within the next three
decades.
The global electricity market
will be forced to spend over $10 trillion on infrastructure within
the next three decades to expand supply capacity in a bid to meet
demand.
The energy sector will have
to compete with other sectors of the economy for capital in times
when the world’s capital needs are far greater than ever before
- making it even more critical to find a low cost solution to long
term infrastructure and supply challenges.
The environmental consequences
of global warming from the greenhouse effect means that a greater
proportion of electricity will need to be generated from clean renewable
sources.
The Lloyd Energy Storage Technology
is able to make a major contribution to addressing those challanges.
It will do this by reducing the cost of new infastructure through
better utilisation of, and extending the life of, existing assets,
as well as facilitating a more rapid uptake of renewable energy.
The market for energy storage
can be broadly categorised into grid and off-grid applications.
Grid applications for energy storage have the ability to save utilities
millions of dollars by scheduling transmission upgrades more effectively.
Energy storage also gives consumers the ability and benefit of using
lower cost energy at times of high prices. Off grid applications,
where power is typically generated by Diesel Gensets, are a standout
case for the environment. In this application energy storage is
used to store renewable energy and makes it available when required.
