Smart Grid Technology Market

SGT Market Insights

The smart grid technology market is summarized to register a prominent augmentation in CAGR by 22.1% during the forecast period (2020-2026). A smart grid is an electric grid that involves operations and energy theory that comprises of smart meters, smart appliances, and energy-efficient resources. Few of the privileges of smart grid technology are the efficient transmission of electricity, faster recovery of electricity post power disruptions, lower operational management, and cheaper utility cost administration eventually resulting in lower power prices for customers. Initial installation expenses and network congestion during a two-way communication can be the limitations of the smart grid technology. The smart grid technology can be applied to energy grid networks, gas consumption networks, and water distribution networks respectively. Many countries have employed grid infrastructure for utility administration which has acted as a supportive element during the COVID-19 pandemic times and has established the market hereabouts to endure and has been analyzed to project an incredible growth in the forthcoming years. Demand in up-gradation of existing grid networks, initiatives towards smart city development, and oblige in the reduction of fault in power transmissions are the drivers steering advance the smart grid technology market.

SGT Market: By Type of Components

The components of smart grid technology are based on hardware and software where the smart meter is the sub-category for hardware components and advanced metering infrastructure, grid asset management, smart grid security, and others are distinct sections of software components respectively. The software component where smart grid distribution management is marked to secure a substantial rate in the forecast period. SGDM is a management system for power distribution recommended using multi-agent system technology. The advantage for the system is the optimization of the distribution of renewable energy including cost reduction of electricity bills for consumers. Incorporation of Artificial Intelligence applications in energy and power, surging demand in end-users, and implementation of smart city projects are drivers contributing towards immense momentum of the global market.

SGT Market: By Type of Network Operation

The smart grid technology market categorization based on network operation can be seen as outage management systems, SCADA, demand management systems, and geographical management systems among others. SCADA is analyzed to be the rapidly-growing segment in this market. SCADA is the abbreviation of supervisory control and data acquisition, where it is termed as a control system architecture for high-level supervisory management. The applications of SCADA can be used in project-driven processes in verticals like construction, energy & power. The prevalence of IoT, the rise in enterprise capital investments, and speedy electrification in the automotive industry are some of the highlights developing the global market.
