This study is an overview of future technological trends in oil & gas completions design. Whether for an operator, a contractor, or a start-up, Frost & Sullivan believes that open collaboration and idea sharing will drive business opportunities and progress in the industry. To that end, this study has 3 goals: • Describe key areas of technolog...

The Industrial Internet of Things, a critical facet of digital transformation that brings together different aspects of technology, is already leaving a lasting footprint on the power industry, and as new decade begins, the impact it could potentially have on the power industry could be a real game changer. Bringing Different Aspects of Technologi...

The global battery energy storage industry is predicted to have double-digit growth, and this will be driven by both front of the meter and behind the meter applications. Falling battery costs, increased grid modernization initiatives, rapid growth in variable renewable energy generation, participation of battery storage in various wholesale electr...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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 n...
