Smart Grid Market Research

Global smart grid investment is likely to grow rapidly. By 2025, a complete transformation to a smarter grid is unlikely but the process would have gained pace with major changes underway in grid automation, demand-side management, and Big Data analytics. Revenue growth will be the fastest in Europe. Demand response and advanced metering infrastruc...

Smart grids consist of four main segments: advanced meter infrastructure (AMI), demand response (DR), distributed grid management (DGM), and high-voltage transmission (HVT). This research service examines opportunities for semiconductor companies within the smart grid market by analyzing these four segments. The service notes the markets major dri...

The need to connect the devices in the home to the smart grid in order to increase control of those devices and improve energy efficiency are driving a merge between home technologies and smart grid deployment. This study evaluates the factors impacting such trend as well the benefits and barriers the industry is facing. An overview of related tech...

Market pressures to improve energy efficiency are driving a merge between building technologies and information and communication technologies to develop intelligent buildings and smart grids. This study evaluates the factors impacting such trend and the benefits for an integrated network of energy consumers (buildings) with power suppliers (utilit...

Awareness of smart grid technology is low to moderate, yet awareness likely does not stem from electric utility companies. Consistent with the previous years results, nearly 40 percent of residential energy consumers are aware of smart grid technology. However, only very few respondents are aware of any efforts by electric utility companies to int...

This study provides a foundation for upcoming research in Business Analytics and vertical specific solutions, technologies and innovation.

This research covers the implications of smart grid on the manufacturing industry and how demand response is leading to energy efficiency initiatives. While the research will include the competitive dynamics, it will also highlight the influence of smart grid initiatives towards potentially changing the manufacturing operations and the control syst...

To increase the utilization of the current electrical distribution grid, utilities are promoting demand response programs that offer customers financial incentive to shift some demand to off-peak times. This would increase the amount of electricity that the existing grid can carry and reduce the need to expand the grid. The financial incentive co...

This report will address requirements that utilities have to implement distributed, secure, and reliable network and operations infrastructure to support Smart Grid deployments worldwide, and its synergy with Communication Service Providers (CSPs) and Operations Support System/Business Support System (OSS/BSS) vendors.
