Global Smart Grid T&D Equipment Market 2016-2020

About Smart Grid Transmission and Distribution Equipment

Globally the power T&D network is undergoing a transformation with the introduction of digital technologies into the grid; it is largely driven by the need for efficiency, improved reliability and the integration of diverse power generation sources. The traditional grid was designed to manage continuous power from sources such as coal, oil, and other resources. However, countries are focusing on newer alternate sources of technology, which serve as intermittent sources of power generation. To harness the full potential of renewable power and provide a continuous power supply, utilities require flexible power supply system. This implies using a combination of these alternate energy sources along with power backup options such as generators, energy storage, and smart devices that provide complete transparency to the network. Smart T&D equipment transfers electricity from the transmission system to the consumer delivery point. Such equipment improves the overall efficiency of the smart grid, minimizes technical losses, improves O&M, and improves the longevity of the T&D equipment, deferring the investment and allowing grid operators to monitor and control the functions of the grid from a remote location. Smart T&D equipment includes reclosers, fault current indicators, automated switches, Volt-VAR control equipment, synchrophasor, and HVDC, among others.

Technavio’s analysts forecast the global smart grid T&D equipment market to grow at a CAGR of 16.23% during the period 2016-2020.
