NavigantResearch has announced that by 2026, there will be an increasing demand for sophisticated sensor measurement, monitoring, and asset management solutions as the grid becomes more diverse. By 2026, the market for sensing and measuring equipment for transmission and distribution is expected to reach $4.8 billion.
Over the next decade, utilities worldwide will invest heavily in automation and monitoring solutions such as substations, transmission and distribution lines and transformers to upgrade and replace aging infrastructure, the report said. With the growing demand for distributed power generation, such as wind and solar, and pressure from regulators and customers to enhance grid intelligence, the transmission and distribution sector will play an important role in the development of more advanced self-monitoring and self-healing grids.
NavigantResearch research analyst MichaelHartnack explained, "the power industry is in the early stages of a radical paradigm shift that will see the towers and lines of traditional one-way systems connect power plants and power customers into a complex network characterized by two-way flow, ubiquitous communication, and a high level of automation. Therefore, as the grid becomes more diverse, it is essential to deploy an integrated sensor, measurement, status monitoring and asset management solution system.
As the cost of sensors and connections falls, utilities expect to deploy sensor measurement systems faster than ever before, the report said. Advanced sensors, used in conjunction with real-time communications and analysis, provide power companies with vital benign system information and tools to monitor asset functions, assess security risks and effectively prevent network outages.
