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.
ADI’s contributions
Primary operator research

Grid realities: Power emissions are up
U.S. power sector CO₂ emissions rose 4% in 2025 based on the latest findings from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). This increase was driven by a 3% increase in net electric power generation, including a substantial 13% increase in coal-fired generation. More importantly, this increase points to a growing challenge facing the U.S. power […]
