-- A comparison between ultracapacitors and batteries showing that while
batteries are better at storing energy, ultracapacitors have higher power
density, longer life and lower maintenance costs;
-- Where ultracapacitors are used, such as consumer electronics,
transportation and industrial applications;
-- How ultracapacitors can be used in renewable energy systems to level
out the load when the wind doesn't blow or the sun doesn't shine;
-- Ideas for using ultracapacitor/battery hybrids and strategies for
taking advantage of the best of both technologies; and
-- A summary of the benefits of Enable IPC/SolRayo's ultracapacitor
technology, such as lower costs, higher efficiencies and longer life
cycles.
Enable IPC's Ultracapacitors Used in High Profile Renewable Energy Project
Enable IPC has recently completed ultracapacitor electrode shipments to
IMDEA Energia in Madrid, Spain for a renewable energy demonstration
project. The electrodes will be incorporated into a power conditioning
unit by IMDEA and Green Power, a Spain-based renewable energy manufacturer,
for a demonstration as part of the SA2VE project -- a Spanish
government-sponsored program focused on new energy solutions, particularly
relating to "green" power. If the project is successful, the Company will
have a
multi-million dollar opportunity in renewable energy.
The Company's ultracapacitor technology combines nanoparticles with common
carbon sheets for a low cost, easy-to-implement process that improves the
performance of ultracapacitors as clean energy storage devices. The
enhanced ultracapacitors are simpler, cheaper and longer lasting than
conventional devices, including some batteries, but perform just as well
for many applications including renewable energy.
$600 Million Ultracapacitor Market
Enable IPC / SolRayo's ultracapacitor technology is aimed at a market
estimated to grow to over $600 million by the year 2012. While the company
has been mostly focusing on the use of ultracapacitors in renewable energy,
there are also huge opportunities for this technology in consumer, other
industrial and transportation applications as well. For more detailed
