Sub-Saharan Africa lags behind most regions in the world in the availability, accessibility, and management of water. A key challenge for water utilities here is the high water losses in the water reticulation network. These are physical water losses due to leakages as well as apparent losses due to water theft and improper metering. Together, thes...

Australia has witnessed unprecedented extreme weather events of drought and flood. Climate change also plays a role in drought and flood severity and recurrence. With over 80% of its population living in and around urban hotspots, the country is one of the most urbanized worldwide. As such, water and wastewater (W&WW) utilities in Australia are und...

With the addition of smart meters and AMI, the need to provide cybersecurity to the energy and power infrastructure has also increased significantly. The Energy infrastructure is slowly turning from a mere physical infrastructure to a cyber-physical one with the addition of smart devices those are connected by communication networks. These nodes pr...

The key factors that promote digital transformation in Australia's water and wastewater market are: increasing need for optimising performance and efficiency, focus on customer service improvements, billing revenue and accuracy, and the need to reduce non-revenue water loss. This study investigates the digitalisation of the water and wastewater mar...

Radio frequency (RF) testing is essential to ensure that radio waves do not interfere with each other in air space. Recent technologies in sectors including mobile communication, aerospace and defense, automotive, and healthcare demand operation in the millimeter wave (mmWave) frequency range and bandwidth. Designing wireless systems in the mmWave ...

Although much of the focus on grid investment relates to hardware, there is a growing awareness of how important it is to increase the overall intelligence of the grid. Frost & Sullivan s Digital Grid Attractiveness Index analyzes and ranks countries based on how attractive they are for digital grid developments in terms of implementing improvement...

This research outlook provides an overview of the global opportunities and challenges that will influence the growth of pump original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in the water and wastewater industry. With sustainability and energy transition being key trends, digital transformation has become the core solution for short-, medium-, and long-t...

Water utilities must improve resilience and sustainability in the face of climate change-induced weather disruptions, which have caused unprecedented levels of flooding or drought. In the last 5 years, there has been a decisive shift in policies and regulations, which now significantly focus on ensuring water security. Water conservation and reuse...

Grid-Scale energy storage solutions involve electrochemical storage such as batteries, supercapacitors, electromechanical storage solutions such as flywheels, compressed air energy storage and thermal energy storage solutions like molten salt and ice energy storage. These storage solutions are used to support grid stability and predominantly the in...
