Smart Grid Storage Tracker

SmartGridTrackerThe Lux Research Grid Storage Tracker, built upon data gathered from primary interviews with technology developers, is a customizable database and tool that keeps track of grid storage projects around the world from conception through operation and completion. The Grid Storage Tracker details each project’s technology, technology provider, status, size, location, cost, and applications and breaks down the market for battery components by cathode, anode, separator, and electrolyte.

The Smart Grid Storage Tracker is a flexible platform that allows the user to input proprietary data and manipulate Lux Research’s underlying assumptions. This dynamic tool supports a comprehensive quantity of easily customized graphical and data outputs ready for instant insertion into any reporting format.
