There is rising demand for innovative, efficient and cleaner power generation technologies. Electrochemical energy technologies such as supercapacitors , batteries and fuel cells have gained a significant interest in last decades and are considered important to enable alternative power sources. Fuel cells are one of the most promising energy gener...

Steel, an alloy of two metals – iron and carbon – is extensively used in the energy industry. Steel meets many demanding applications in the energy sector as well, supplying the industry with high performance steel for various applications. In power generation and distribution, steel is used in transformers, generators and electric motors. In nucle...

A non-renewable inverter is an electronic device which converts low-voltage direct current (DC) to high-voltage alternate current (AC), making it usable by daily appliances powered by a non-renewable power source. Increasing demand for power in all end-user segments, combined with the unreliable and ageing grid infrastructure, creates a demand for ...

Offshore wind energy is crossing the period where it requires massive subsidies and governmental support to achieve economic feasibility to a mature and market-driven industry. With other forms of renewable energy available that are cheaper, there is a need to bring down the cost of offshore power generation further. In order to reduce the levelize...

The recent report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) states that Global Warming has to be restricted to a maximum of 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels by 2030 in order to minimize the impacts of climate change in the future. Energy generation from burning fossil fuels is considered one of the main causes of climate change, and ...

The transfer switch (TS) is an electrical device that allows smooth and reliable transfer of electrical power between the primary utility and a secondary or backup power source, allowing critical loads to continue running with minimal or no outage. Continued growth in power demand from industrial, commercial and residential sectors coupled with pow...

The upstream oil and gas industry is increasingly focused on cutting costs and improving recovery rates through radical innovation and digital transformation. Frost & Sullivan's Start-Up Tracker is a resource to help the upstream industry identify solution providers with specific solutions to industry challenges. The Start-Up Tracker provides a ri...

Majority of the UPS systems has battery to store energy that will be used during power outage. The stationary lead-acid battery is the predominant battery chemistry used in these UPS, while lithium ion is the emerging chemistry that is revolutionizing the industry. Among the UPS applications, the role of batteries in commercial, industrial, data ce...

As the region with some of the lowest electrification rates in the world, Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) will exhibit continued growth of power pools. This growth is likely to be driven primarily by expanding transmission and distribution (T&D) networks within and between member countries. This outlook provides an analysis of the power pools in SSA, foc...
