The world is undergoing a monumental shift to sustainable renewable energy, evolving both in the developed world toward cleaner generation sources and the developing world to broad electrification efforts. Access to electricity and communication will bring significant benefits as a platform for economic growth in developing and rural regions. As costs continue to decrease for solar and wind generation, renewable deployments are increasing. Yet the inherent intermittency of renewables continues to challenge broader adoption, misaligns supply and demand and causes disruptions to current developed grid environments. Furthermore, in off-grid environments, renewables cannot provide a reliable source of energy. Energy Storage provides the ability to capture renewable generation and deliver when and where needed. Long duration energy storage can solve the problem of solar and wind intermittency and provide reliable electricity without the use of diesel generators, eliminating harmful emissions and lowering costs. Despite a clear need for energy storage solutions to propel the use of renewables, there are several obstacles.
Application Variability: The energy storage market needs to address numerous applications from short burst frequency regulation to the transportation sector to longer duration applications required by widespread renewable penetration. Most focus has been on shorter duration technologies such as Li-ion and Ultra capacitors. While these technologies are suited for providing energy from a few seconds up to an hour, other technologies such as flow batteries and metal-air batteries are suited for longer duration markets as power and energy can be decoupled providing a more optimal solution.

Turian Labs: Perfecting Design Thinking to Strategic Foresights
‘Empathy is the new strategy’- the mnemonic has been doing the rounds. Empathy is the hallmark of a new method that walked into the strategy domain in the last decade, popularised by the term ‘Design Thinking.’ Design Thinking came in to fill the void created by over-dependence upon data and systems in the industrialized society. Bringing a shift in perspective for defining the ‘real’ problem by zooming in on ‘people’ or ‘stakeholders’ instead of the data alone. One pioneering business organization that was established with this mindset engraved into its soul is Turian Labs. The name, Turian, is derived from the Sanskrit ‘Turiya’, which is the ‘fourth state of consciousness’ as mentioned in Indian philosophy. Turian Labs believes that the world needs holistic thinking today more than ever as knowledge fields are rather too dithered and hence businesses tend to be myopic on several counts.
