Assess potential for Emerging Technologies

Small companies, and larger entities with increasingly sophisticated entrepreneurial savvy, are trying to attract investment capital. For potential stakeholders, simply tracking emerging technologies can be a daunting task, even without in-depth technical analysis to assess their commercial viability.

Kinectrics has been actively involved in the development and implementation of emerging technologies for several decades. We have in-depth expertise and experience with numerous real-life applications in microturbines, fuel cells, wind, mini-hydro, photovoltaics and other emerging technologies.

Qualified staff and state-of-the-art facilities

Kinectrics provides the highly qualified staff and unique state-of-the art facilities needed to fully evaluate the key technology-based factors that determine success or failure for this sector. Kinectrics’ expert evaluations cover:

• Technological Feasibility - Is a given technology likely to achieve its purported benefits? Products that may perform well in the laboratory don’t always meet expectations in the real world.
• Cost-Effectiveness - Is a new technology likely to achieve cost targets, how, and within what timeframe?
• Commercial Marketability - Is there a viable market? What are the practical hurdles, desirable or undesirable characteristics, and experiences of early adopters?

Services designed to meet your specific needs

Each due diligence project is unique. Kinectrics will develop a due diligence methodology that is the right fit for your environment. Our services include site and equipment inspection, document and maintenance record reviews, comparisons of plant equipment to industry problems or manufacturing faults, plant staff interviews and supporting laboratory testing, as appropriate.

Kinectrics offers unrivalled experience in the technical evaluation of plant conditions, the replacement or reconditioning of equipment, and decision-making related to physical plant components or assets.

What is the actual value of your physical plant assets?

What will it cost to make repairs and optimize performance? Kinectrics looks beyond book value to address issues in depth, for example, environmental legacy. Kinectrics’ expertise is fully supported by comprehensive testing laboratories, capable of evaluating the actual value of your equipment.

Manage ROI and risk with superior Due Diligence

As a former division of North America’s largest utility for several decades, Kinectrics understands the challenges of being an owner/operator in analyzing asset performance over the long term. Kinectrics combines superior technical expertise and comprehensive due diligence testing services to maximize your return on investment (ROI), and minimize your financial and environmental risks. We can also recommend effective plant improvements to optimize performance and generate cost savings.

A typical project success

Securing investment capital to develop innovative technology

Kinectrics provided critical, objective "third-party" technical assessment of a new, small engine generator design, enabling the developer to secure capital to finance further development. We reviewed all design documents, and interviewed the developer and design team. Comments on major design features were provided and critical issues were identified. Kinectrics’ findings were summarized in a written review provided to the developer. The developer’s financial partner was pleased with the assessment, and has engaged Kinectrics for the technical review of other energy projects.
