Smart Grid Market Research

Silicon-based power electronic device, the most popular and well established material technology is witnessing constant improvements with regard to power handling capability. However with silicon subjected to certain theoretical limitations, wide bandgap semiconductor materials holds promise to deliver high efficiency leading to savings in energy. ...

The past 2-3 years have witnessed an increasing interest in smart grids and smart energy. Smart meters are considered to be the first step towards smart grid implementation. The smart meter rollout in Europe is well underway, boosted by the European Union legislation to achieve 80 percent coverage by 2020. Sweden and Italy had full scale penetratio...

Smart buildings are an integral part of the future of building technologies. Over the course of this decade, several factors are expected to promote the development of smart buildings. The market will be fuelled by the need for energy efficiency and decreasing operational costs. Revenues are highest in North America and Europe. However, certain tec...

The majority of European energy utilities have made considerable amount of progress towards smart grid implementation, especially in the areas of automated meter infrastructure (AMI) and demand side management. Approximately 35 per cent of utilities companies do not know when a return on investment will be achieved from their programs, whereas 29 p...
