3 Key Findings The global battery-based energy storage systems market is expected to reach $7 billion by 2020, with lithium-ion accounting for more than half of this revenue. A boom in wearable devices and the Internet of Things (IoT) is driving battery manufacturers to invest heavily in batteries that are flexible, thin, and stretchy. Curved, foldable, and pin-sized batteries are some good examples. Solid-state battery chemistries are becoming increasingly preferred for power miniature devices that require high energy density. Lithium-ion, the most sought after chemistry, is reaching its limits, thus, paving the way for advanced chemistries such as metal-air, flow batteries, and sodium sulphur. Strong growth in renewables is expected to drive the demand for storage, especially battery-based systems, both on the grid scale as well as on the residential scale. Revenues from grid-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) is expected to grow at a double digit CAGR of 34% from No down payment is emerging as the most popular business model for installing battery energy storage systems for commercial and industrial (C&I) customers. Integrated battery storage solution providers such as STEM, Sunverge, Green Charge Networks, and Solar City install, own, operate, and maintain these solutions at customer locations. In return, they split the difference in savings from peak demand charges with the end-user. 3

4 Emerging Battery Chemistries IoT, wearables, and the need for low-cost but safe and energy-dense batteries drive technological advances in new chemistries and form factors. Technological Advancements Emerging Chemistries Solid-state Battery Li-ion Lithium-air Lithium-sulphur Quick Charging Batteries Lead Acid (LAB) Advanced LAB* Foldable Battery Beyond Existing Battery Chemistries Metal-air Aluminum-air Zinc-air Sodium-air 3-Dimensional Electrode Emerging Sodium-ion *Advancements to lead acid battery is more of an enhancement to the existing product; usage of new materials is minimal. 4

6 Energy Harvesting Operational Diagram Components Involved in Energy Harvesting, Global, 2015 Radio Frequency Thermoelectric Source Rechargeable Battery Solar Solar Interface Charger Thin-film Energy Storage Kinetic Electronic Circuitry with Protective Devices and Battery Management Systems (BMS) Capacitor Thermal Energy generated by harvesting kinetic sources needs a transducer that converts kinetic energy to electrical energy. This electrical energy is stored in batteries that are often in the form of coin cells, cylindrical cells, or thin-film batteries in case of embedded intelligent tags. Microbatteries are emerging as the technology to store the energy harvested through small sensors involved in IoT. 6
