ADI evaluated distributed power and grid‑edge storage opportunities by linking customer economics, reliability requirements, and technology performance across industrial and field‑based applications. The assessment combined voice‑of‑customer interviews with internal market sizing models to test where storage, power quality, or hybrid solutions materially improve outcomes. Findings differentiated scalable use cases from niche deployments where adoption is constrained by cost or operational complexity.
The client
Energy technology developer
The situation
Fragmented end‑use economics and uneven adoption signals made commercial focus and capital allocation uncertain.

In the June 2026 edition, AI-driven demand is surging, but constraints in grid capacity, permitting, and equipment supply are reshaping how and where data centers expand. Developers are increasingly embedding power considerations into site selection, shifting toward distributed infrastructure models and prioritizing regions with faster, more reliable access to electricity. As power availability becomes a […]
For much of the 20th century, R&D was viewed as a long-term investment in scientific discovery, often insulated from day-to-day operational pressures. Success was measured in patents, breakthrough technologies, and the promise of future growth. Today, that view no longer holds. Across energy, chemicals, and broader industrial sectors, R&D has been reshaped by a combination […]
Ammonia has increasingly emerged as a potential low-carbon marine fuel to support decarbonization in the maritime sector due to its carbon-free combustion profile. However, compared to methanol, ammonia has lagged behind in commercial adoption as a low-carbon marine fuel. This is primarily due to its toxicity, which requires more complex storage and handling systems, as […]
