Executive Summary
Business summary :TAT enterprise Developing new ways to use the thermal energy to meet the energy needs of homes,
offices, factories and communities.
Problem Statement : In fact, there exists a renewable and pollution-free energy resource that thermally activated
technologies are uniquely able to tap. Unfortunately policy makers and energy developers are mostly unaware of this
resource. Its potential for development is poorly understood. That resource is waste heat.
Business solution: : The purpose of this Technology is to outline a set of actions for industry to develop thermally activated
technologies for converting wasted heat resources into a reservoir of pollution-free energy for electric power, heating,
cooling, refrigeration, and humidity control.
Target Market : Develop profitable markets, and produce public benefits such as higher energy efficiency, lower air
emissions, healthier and more secure indoor environments, and more efficient electric grid operations.
Sales/Marketing strategy: thermally activated product lines are largely focused upon burning of fossil fuels as their source
of thermal energy. These current products reflect markets, end-use applications, and manufacturing capabilities that
currently sustain profitable business operations. They produce measurable public benefits: higher energy efficiency, higher
indoor air quality, lower air emissions, and lower peak demand for electricity.
Business model: Thermally activated technologies consist of equipment that use thermal energy for heating, cooling,
humidity control, and power (mechanical and electric) in buildings, factories, campuses, industrial parks, and district
systems. They include, for example, absorption chillers, desiccant humidity control and organic rankine energy recovery
devices. Combined heat and power systems are a major user of thermally activated technologies, is integrated with power
generation equipment to generate energy services for customers.
Pricing model : The priding model will be three tier model depending the mode of usage. surplus supply mode, general
supply mode or both. All the three models will be connected to a cloud and the pricing will be done based upon the tariffs
they use.
Competitors: Mississippi Energies, Rocky Research. SEMCO.
Competitive advantage: TPC competitive advantage is being first into market with an inclusive solution. Most product in
the market are disparate. Pointed best in breed solutions. without a single solution to all the problems that might occur.
Customer savings : Thermally activated technologies are the essential building blocks for integrated systems that can help
maximize energy savings and economic return. Thermally activated systems also offer customers reduced seasonal peak
electric demand and enable future electric and gas grids to operate with more level loads.
