demonstrationscale
Demonstrationscale refers to the stage in technology development where a system or process is built and operated at a size larger than laboratory or pilot facilities but smaller than full commercial deployment. Demonstration-scale projects aim to validate technical performance, reliability, safety, and economics under conditions that approximate real-world operation, and to de-risk broader deployment.
Core objectives include verifying integration with existing infrastructure, assessing long-term operability, collecting operational and environmental data,
Demonstration-scale work sits between pilot-scale testing and commercial-scale deployment. Bench tests and pilot plants explore feasibility
Planning and funding for demonstrationscale projects require integrated project management, risk assessment, and procurement of equipment,
Typical domains for demonstrationscale include energy conversion and storage (such as demonstration-scale power-to-gas or battery systems),
