Advanced Transmission and Distribution Technologies Overview
High and Low Voltage Power Delivery, Automation, Control, Drones, and Sensing and Metering: Global Forecasts and Analysis
The transmission and distribution (T&D) networks are at the core of utilities’ business. Most of these networks throughout the world are 50 or more years old, and many are in dire need of an injection of both technology and capital to maintain the high levels of grid performance demanded by customers today. And with a growing percentage of the global utility-scale generation mix coming from renewables, advanced T&D technologies are becoming more important.
The global market for advanced T&D technologies is large and growing significantly. The total market size for each technology, as well as the growth rate, is indicative of both the size and complexity of the electric grid within each region. Asia, for example, commands a strong regional market share across all technologies, as it is investing heavily in building out its long-distance transmission infrastructure with high voltage direct current (HVDC) and other expensive technologies across its expansive grid. Developed regions such as North America and Europe are investing in distribution technologies, and developing regions such as Latin America and Middle East & Asia are witnessing high growth rates of more than 10% annually.
