Guidehouse Insights Leaderboard: Advanced Distribution Grid Sensing and Measurement Vendors

Assessment of Strategy and Execution for 12 Distribution Grid Sensing and Measurement Solution Providers

The market for advanced distribution grid sensing and measurement solutions is reaching an inflection point, spurred by accelerating deployment of distributed energy resources (DER), particularly behind the meter, growing resiliency demands on the part of regulatory bodies worldwide, and increased instances of devastating storm and wildfire events. While visibility into the distribution grid has historically been low relative to the transmission grid, these factors, along with widespread deployment of networked smart metering at the grid edge, are setting the stage for accelerated demand for advanced distribution grid sensing and measurement solutions.

Furthermore, utilities are becoming more sophisticated in their ability to leverage the data collected by distribution grid sensors, deploying advanced distribution management systems (ADMS) and other powerful analytics solutions. For example, analytics addressing vegetation management needs are becoming particularly important in regions prone to wildfires. Distribution grid sensors along feeders or on pole top or pad mount transformers can help utilities understand events in real time—even in remote, hard-to-reach geographies.

This Guidehouse Insights Leaderboard report assesses the competitive landscape for advanced distribution grid sensing and measurement solutions providers, and how well different companies are positioned to address customer needs. This report is intended to help market participants better understand their competitors’ solution offerings, differentiation, and track record in deploying advanced distribution grid sensors and supporting analytics. The report includes profiles of 12 advanced distribution grid sensing and measurement vendors and ranks them according to Strategy and Execution scores.
