The global penetration rate for smart metering is forecast to increase from just over 40% at the start of 2022 to 65% by 2030. This growth will lead to an increased demand for meter data management (MDM) software. First-generation meters largely focus on basic functions such as billing and time-of-use pricing. With the growth of decentralized energ...

A gas insulated switchgear (GIS), typically housed in a high voltage substation, is a critical component in the substations of the transmission network of utilities or in energy-intensive industrial units. In general, GIS structures are contained in a metal-sealed environment with sulfur hexafluoride gas (SF6) as the insulating medium. A GIS’s basi...

The global microgrids market will experience strong revenue growth, increasing from $8.85 billion in 2021 to $19.55 billion in 2030. North America and Asia-Pacific (APAC) will be the leading markets from 2021 to 2030. However, APAC will outpace North America and hold the highest share in the long term, focusing on remote microgrids. With largely se...

Switchgear forms an integral component of the transmission and distribution grid network. Medium voltage pole mount switchgear is interchangeably used with terms such as reclosers and sectionalizers. This study provides a complete overview of pole mounted switchgear, which consists of primary and secondary switchgear. The market, in which utilities...

As the smart grid continues to develop, metering is a key building block in the process, enabling the accurate measurement of consumption and allowing utility companies to move toward real-time pricing and policies to try and reduce peak demand. The market is being driven by increased regulations and, in some markets, a desire to minimise non-techn...

Pressure to reduce costs, improve revenues, and become more competitive has prompted investor-owned utilities to utilize outsourcing transmission and distribution (T&D) services. Recent winter storms, which hit the states between 2012 and 2013, prompted utilities to invest rugged T&D infrastructure. Furthermore, the addition of renewable power on t...

The global microgrids market revenue is forecast to increase from $3.37 billion in 2022 to $8.00 billion in 2030. While North America is projected to remain the largest regional market over the forecast period, the Asian region is expected to outpace its growth. With a largely secure grid infrastructure, the European Union has limited microgrid dev...

The traditional utility business model of a pure-play centralised power producer and provider will soon be extinct. Distributed generation (DG) will increasingly feature in new utility value propositions as utilities try to capture more downstream opportunities. These will include several models, from an aggregator of DG to providing complete energ...
