The propane is used as an alternative transportation fuel owing to the high-energy density, clean-burning qualities, and relatively low cost than gasoline, diesel fuel. As the gasoline prices are rising, propane offers viable option as an alternative-fuel source. For instance, on May 2019, the national average price per gallon of propane autogas was USD 1.45. The national average cost of regular grade gasoline was USD 2.86. Owing to such increasing price in the gasoline, the demand for propane is likely to increase in the transportation sector. Also, various proposals has been initiated to replace the diesel vehicles. For instance, a Request for Proposals (RFP) for USD 12,961,400 introduced for school bus replacements by replacing diesel school buses to propane school buses. Such initiatives are boosting the demand for the propane market over the forecast period. Furthermore, in the residential sector, propane is widely used for heating and powering certain appliances. Applications, such as barbeques, water heaters, clothes dryers, stoves, etc., run by propane. As propane is affordable, cleaner alternative to oil, cheaper than electricity and more effective than natural gas, the demand for propane in residential sector is surging.

The global high voltage cable market is segmented on the basis of type of cable, end user, and region. The type segment includes overhead, underground, and submarine cables. Among the three types of cable, the underground high voltage cable segment holds significant share in the global high voltage cable market, owing to its high accuracy in terms of power loss as compared to overhead cables. However, the submarine cable is expected to witness the fastest growth during the forecast period. The end user segment is further divided into the industrial, renewable energy, and infrastructure segments.

工信部发布准入新规，蔚来 Bass 模式落地 消费者车企电池厂商三方均受益。工信部正式发布新能源车准入新规，降低 新能源车准入门槛，有助于支持本土厂商百花齐放；放宽新能源车停产限制， 在当前弱市下有助于保护本土车企。8 月 20 日，蔚来汽车正式发布电池租 用服务 BaaS。BaaS 将大大降低购车门槛，提升蔚来汽车在价格上的竞争 力。而 BaaS 更加重要的目的是蔚来汽车打通车电分离商业模式的关键一 环，BaaS 模式也将体系性地解决电池衰减、电池无法升级、车辆保值率变 动大等一直影响电动汽车普及的难题。此外对于电池厂商来说，开展 Bass 模式业有助于和车企深度绑定关系，最先进入该模式的 CATL 等龙头电池 厂商也将因此受益。

1）宁德时代与蔚来合作有望不断加深。根据GGII，2020 年1-7 月，宁德时代合计实现装机量10.9GWh，其中为蔚来装配18,444辆，装机量为1.3GWh，在宁德时代总装机量中的占比达11.8%，为第一大装机客户。通过合资公司的设立、BaaS 模式的应用与渗透，宁德时代与蔚来的合作有望持续深化。2）BaaS 模式有望驱动蔚来销量增长。BaaS 模式购买蔚来全系车型，整车售价将减少7 万元，即ES8、ES6 及EC6 补贴后售价降低至38.00 万起、27.36 万起及28.00 万起，明显降低购置成本。电池租用费用为980 元/月，以此计算，购车减少的7 万元可支撑70KWh 电池包租用费用约6 年。另外，通过BaaS 模式，电池包性能衰减等问题造成的不便利性以及资金成本将从车主转移至整车企业，有望提升消费者的购车好感度及用车体验，从而推动蔚来销量的增长。3）换电模式具备发展前景。换电模式具备降低购车成本、缓解里程及充电焦虑等优势，将成为与充电模式互补的重要技术路线。蔚来作为换电模式的领先探索者，有望持续推动国内换电模式的发展，同时驱动宁德时代动力电池技术的升级与出货量的提升。

近期，上市公司中报开始陆续披露。从目前已发布的电力板块公司业绩来看，受益于煤价回落，电价稳定等因素，火电板块上半年整体业绩改善，火电龙头华能国际、华电国际等单季度业绩增速可观。我们预计2020 年全年动力煤价在需求相对偏弱、供给逐步释放的背景下仍将维持同比低位、窄幅震荡，叠加电力需求逐步恢复的背景下，下半年火电企业业绩仍值得期待。同时在来水偏丰的预期下，看好水电企业下半年业绩改善。电力板块我们强烈推荐：国投电力，推荐：三峡水利、涪陵电力、华电国际、长江电力、川投能源，相关公司：建投能源、江苏国信、京能电力、黔源电力。

Hazardous location LED lighting refers to a network of LED lights that are fitted with sensors and can detect hazardous substances. These networks can provide a highly effective earlydetection system for plant safety and safeguard the life and proper ty, in case of an incident. LED lighting for hazardous locations holds the potential to save operating and maintenance costs for operators of the facilities. LED lighting is agreed as a viable alternative to traditional lighting in areas, where flammable gases and vapors are present (under conditions defined by NEC class I, division 2, and IEC zone 2). Besides the detection of hazardous substances and triggering of an alert, these sensors equipped LED lighting equipment allow the configuration to dynamically illuminate the lights along the evacuation route, based on the absence of the offending substance, thereby, assisting the guide personnel on the fastest, safest escape route. Energy conservation is another benefit achieved by these LED fixtures incorporating smar t sensors. These can help reduce energy use by an additional 50%.
