Darnell Offers DCG Power Sponsorship Opportunity

May 04, 2005 by Jeff Shepard

Darnell Group Inc. (Corona, CA) announced an opportunity to become a sponsor of its new "Distributed and Cogeneration Power Electronics: Worldwide Forecasts, Applications and Competitive Environment Second Edition" report, which focuses on the factors driving the distributed and co-generation (DCG) power electronics market.

Distributed and co-generation is gaining momentum and becoming an attractive energy option for the new millennium. Demand for power reliability combined with increasing power shortages, inadequate power transmission and distribution capacity, utility restructuring, volatile electricity prices, technology advancements, and public environmental policies have opened the market for distributed and co-generation projects. All these elements have contributed to a strong market for alternative power generation technologies like gensets, small-scale gas turbines, microturbines, photovoltaics, variable speed generators, wind turbines and fuel cells.

The power electronics market potential for these projects varies depending on which DCG technology they serve. Wind turbines are the biggest market for power electronics, while photovoltaics, microturbines and fuel cells will have higher growth rates. The gas turbine and gensets markets will benefit from the growing interest in the combined heat and power application. This edition will also look at the market for variable-speed generators.

Benefits of sponsorship includes input to the structure of the report, setting priorities for data collection and analysis, and early delivery of the data, as it is gathered. Complete details are available at http://www.darnell.com/services/01-dcgv2.stm.
