Marketing Research of the Market of Equipment for the Use Energy of Water

摘要

The use of water energy is an alternative energy source. Water can have both thermal energy for storing solar energy, and mechanical energy created by kinetic and potential energy of the flow. The analysis of the market of equipment for the use of water energy has shown the possibility of using heat pumps, ram pumps and hydro-power equipment, while the advantage in the field of application of such installations remains on the side of foreign manufacturers. Comparison of the heat pump market in Russia and abroad allowed us to conclude about the advantage of foreign heat pump installations: they have a higher efficiency and a larger power range. Russian manufacturers are improving their equipment more and more every year, while producing less expensive installations. Despite the existing development and production of hydro ram pump installations in different countries of the world, their production is very limited, which may be due to the low information content of potential consumers about the capabilities of ram pump installations and manufactured model ranges. Analysis of the market of hydroelectric equipment showed the availability of equipment for different costs and head, microelectric power plants are produced mainly by foreign manufacturers.
