EQUIPMENT MARKET SIZE TO 2020

Executive Summary

US Leads Way in Key Smart Grid Equipment in North America

The US accounts for the largest grid in the North

American region, and it accounts for the largest

renewable and distributed energy generation. It is

a leading market globally for investments in smart

grid and the funding of smart grid projects. The US

houses many of the Electric Vehicle (EV),

microgrid, smart meters, and microgrid-related and

other-smart-grid-related equipment manufacturers.

In 2013, the US accounted for XX% of the

synchrophasor market and the market is expected

to continue until 2020. Among the US and

Canadian markets, which hold the majority share

of microgrid revenue throughout the world, the US

accounted for a share of XX% of the market. The

US is responsible for the uptake of smart grid

initiatives in North America and has provided funds

to Mexico to study and initiate the incorporation of

smart grids in its systems. In terms of renewable

energy, the US is expected to account for XX% of

the renewable capacity addition between 2014 and

2020 in the North American region. It also leads

the way in terms of EV manufacturers, EV sales

and other smart grid initiatives, in the region.

Introduction

2 Introduction

“Smart grid” refers to technological advancement, whereby computer-based remote control and

automation technology is used in the electricity delivery system for information collection and

management. This can include two-way communication technology and communication processes,

which help to increase system efficiency, facilitate faster data transfer, better process control and

better energy management. The system enables the transfer of data from power generation

(supply point) to the electricity used by the end-user application, using Information Technology (IT).

A key benefit of modernizing the electricity network through the adoption of smart grids is the ability

to reduce power consumption at the consumer end during peak hours, via demand management.

In addition, smart grids enable the connection of power to the grid from distributed generation

sources such as Photovoltaic (PV) arrays, wind turbines, micro hydro and combined heat power

generators. A smart grid also allows grid energy storage for distributed generation load balancing,

and contains or eliminates failures such as widespread power grid cascading failures. Furthermore,

smart grids drive the adoption of energy efficient appliances by modifying consumer behavior

through in-home displays and variable electricity rates.

The electricity grids in North America and South America are undergoing a significant number of

changes to become efficient and reliable. In North America, the present grid infrastructure in the

region is being upgraded because it is old and incapable of meeting the growing demand for

electricity, minimizing its environmental impact and reducing its dependency on conventional

energy sources. The economic growth of North American countries is largely dependent on their

energy infrastructures. To achieve the required progress, the North American power sector will

have to convert from the conventional one-way energy flow network to an advanced grid system

that enables a two-way flow of power and information. The deployment of smart grid technologies

will help in grid transformation and address issues such as Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions,

growing demand for power, peak load demand, Transmission and Distribution (T&D) losses and

integration of renewable energy sources. The South American countries are also looking at smart

grid to fight against their non-technical power losses, increasing per-capita energy consumption,

and creating an efficient power grid.

South and North America Smart Grid Market



3.1.3 South America Smart Grid Market Drivers

3.1.3.1 High Non-Technical Loss Rates

Some of the leading Latin American economies, such as Brazil and Chile, have an extremely poor

T&D infrastructure, with lack of investment often cited as one of the main reasons. This has

resulted in huge T&D losses. Power theft is a problem in most Latin American countries, further

contributing to the high distribution losses.

In the case of Brazil, the country has suffered from frequent outages over the last three years.

However, the government has not yet taken necessary action to address the situation. It is more

focused on creating a robust regulatory framework to promote investment in the power generation

sector than in the transmission sector (Biller et al., 2012). Power theft is also widely prevalent in the

country’s power sector. As a result, the country suffers from high T&D losses, amounting to more

than XX% in 2011. However, the country is endeavoring to lower distribution losses by deploying

more smart meters. Chile is also characterized by poor a T&D network. Natural disasters such as

the droughts in 2008 and the earthquake in 2010 resulted in severe damage to the power

transmission system of the country. To reduce power theft, Chile is also deploying smart meters.

As a region, Latin America is said to have had electricity losses of about XX% in 2010, or XX%, if

including the Latin American countries not listed in the table below.

North and South America Smart Grid, Key Markets

4.1.1.2 Canada, Smart Grid Synchrophasor Market

The Canadian market is also a major market for synchrophasors. Its volume and size is much

smaller than the US, because its grid size is comparatively small. Canada is collaborating with the

US to understand the various benefits and requirements to install synchrophasors.

In 2003, a huge blackout that affected about XX million people in both Canada and the US

occurred. The blackout affected the functioning of XX power plants. Following this incident, Canada

and the US along with the NERC have been developing synchrophasors. There have been many

blackouts that have been prevented due to this technology (Galvin, 2013).

In 2010, XX units of synchrophasors were sold in Canada. With new projects and interest in

synchrophasors and their usage the annual units sold has increased to XX in 2013. The revenue

generated by the market in 2013 was $XXm. Units sold and revenue are expected to continuously

increase to XX units and $XXm by 2017 respectively. Following this, a review of smart grid

applications is expected around 2017. Due to this, we estimate that there will be a slowdown in the

pace of synchrophasor installation. However, this could change with the results of the smart grid

application review by NERC.
