http://www.reportlinker.com/p0118580/Enabling-Technologies-for-the-Smart-Grid.html
The U.S. market for smart grid technologies was worth $15.3 billion in 2008. This is expected to increase to $17.3 billion in 2009 and $37.4 billion in 2014, for a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.6%.
Distributed energy generation and storage technologies generated $10.1 billion in 2008 and an estimated $11.3 billion in 2009. This segment should reach $20.1 billion in 2014, for a CAGR of 12.2%.
Sensing, measurement and control technologies were worth almost $4 billion in 2008 and will reach an estimated $4.4 billion in 2009. This should increase at a CAGR of 26% to reach $14 billion in 2014.
INTRODUCTION
STUDY BACKGROUND
The century-old U.S. electrical grid has been called the largest interconnected machine on earth. It consists of more than 9,200 electric generating units with more than 1,000,000 MW of generating capacity connected to more than 300,000 miles of transmission lines. Several years ago, the U.S. National Academy of Engineering voted the national electrification made possible by this grid as the "most significant engineering achievement of the 20th Century."
However, the grid is showing its age. There have been massive blackouts in recent years, including the 2003 Northeast blackout, the worst in the nation's history. Although it was accidental, the 2003 blackout was a reminder of the grid's vulnerability to terrorist attack.
Even leaving aside such massive outages, according to the Department of Energy, 41% more outages affected 50,000 or more consumers in the second half of the 1990s than in the first half of the decade. The "average" outage affected 15% more consumers from 1996 to 2000 than from 1991 to 1995 (409,854 versus 355,204).
In addition to growing concerns about the U.S. electric grid's robustness and reliability, the grid was designed and built with one basic objective in mind, i.e., keeping the lights on. Meanwhile, other concerns have become increasingly important in the political and public dialogue about the status and future of the electrical grid, particularly:
Energy efficiency Environmental impacts Consumer choice Governments and utilities in the U.S. and elsewhere are investing in new technologies in order to build a 21st century grid that:
Runs more efficiently Generates higher-quality power Resists attack Is self-healing Enables consumers to manage their energy use better and reduce costs Integrates decentralized generation (e.g., renewable energy) and storage (such as fuel cell) technologies In addition to meeting the need for reliable, high-quality power, these technologies are intended to meet the economy's energy needs as efficiently as possible, optimizing energy consumption and related environmental impacts such as greenhouse gas emissions.
These technologies are often referred to generically as "smart grid" technologies. Smart grid describes a set of related technologies, rather than specific technology with a generally agreed on specification. These technologies fall into five main areas:
Two-way integrated communications: allow for real-time control, information and data exchange to optimize system reliability, asset utilization, and security Sensing and measurement: evaluate congestion and grid stability, congestion and grid stability, monitor equipment health, detect energy theft, and support control strategies support Advanced components: flexible alternating current transmission system devices, high voltage direct current, first and second generation superconducting wire, high temperature superconducting cable, distributed energy generation and storage devices, composite conductors, and "intelligent" appliances Advanced control that enables rapid diagnosis of and precise solutions to specific grid disruptions or outages Improved interfaces and decision support that reduce complexity so that operators and managers have tools to effectively and efficiently operate a grid with increasing numbers of variables.
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The overall goal of this report is to identify and prioritize the business opportunities for providers of smart grid technologies that will arise over the next 5 years as products utilizing these technologies increase their market penetration. In support of this goal, specific objectives of the report include:
Identifying the smart grid technologies with the greatest commercial potential over the next 5 years (2009 to 2014) Estimating the market for these technologies in 2007 to 2008 Analyzing the technical, economic and other demand drivers for these products, and other prerequisites of success in these markets Projecting the potential U.S. markets for these technologies through 2014 Analyzing macro-level political and economic forces that are helping to shape the market for smart grid technologies.
INTENDED AUDIENCE
The report is intended especially for providers of smart grid technologies and products based on these technologies. Although the report is structured around specific technologies, it is largely non-technical in nature. That is, it is concerned less with theory and jargon than with what works, how much of the latter the market is likely to purchase, and at what price.
As such, the report's main audience is executive management, marketing and financial analysts. It is not written specifically for scientists and technologists, although its findings concerning the market for their work, including the availability of government and corporate research funding for different technologies and applications should interest them as well.
Others who should find the report informative include government agencies, environmental and public policy interest groups with an interest in energy, the environment, and sustainable development in general.
SCOPE AND FORMAT
The study covers the major enabling technologies for the "smart grid", including:
Communications technologies Sensing and measurement technologies Advanced components Control technologies Interface and decision support technologies The study format includes the following major elements:
Executive summary Definitions Benefits of smart grids Smart grid "roadmap" Policy, regulatory and economic environment for the transition to a smart grid Enabling technologies for the smart grid Developers and suppliers of smart grid enabling technologies Current (2007 to 2008) and projected market for smart grid technologies through 2014 Patent analysis.
METHODOLOGY
The report is based on the results of targeted interviews with producers and users of smart grid technologies, complemented by a thorough literature review and BCC's internal databases. The base year for analysis and projection is 2008 or 2007, where data for all of 2008 were not available at the time the report was written.
With 2007 or 2008 as a baseline, market projections were developed through 2014. These projections are based on a combination of a consensus among the primary contacts combined with BCC's understanding of the key market drivers and their impact from an historical and analytical perspective.
The methodologies and assumptions used to develop the market estimates and projections are described in detail in the chapters on smart grid markets. That way, readers can see how the market estimates were developed and, if they so desire, test the impact on the final numbers of changing assumptions such as price.
