Smart Grid Renewables Integration Market Skyrockets Over 300%, to Reach $13 billion by 2018
FARMINGTON, Conn., June 4, 2012/PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Global Information Inc. is pleased to announce the availability of two important new green energy distribution and storage market research reports:
Smart Grid Renewables Integration - Transmission Upgrades, Energy Storage, Demand Response, Virtual Power Plants, and Microgrids as Enablers of Renewable Energy on the Grid
Smart grid technologies at the distribution level – smart meter installations and distribution automation projects – are being deployed at scale in many countries around the world. However, a much broader set of smart grid technology tools will be required for the successful integration of renewable energy at both the utility scale and on a distributed basis, and according to Pike Research's new Smart Grid Renewables Integration market research report revenue from these technology tools will rise from almost $4 billion in 2012 to over $13 billion by 2018.
This Pike Research report examines current thinking and practices with regard to a series of smart grid technologies, policies, and applications designed to help integrate large penetration levels of renewable energy into power systems around the world. The study provides market capacity and revenue forecasts for static VAR compensators; synchrophasors; transmission, distribution and residential advanced energy storage systems; demand response; virtual power plants and microgrids.
Pike Research anticipates a significant expansion of the market opportunity for smart grid technologies that enable the integration of renewables. It also defines why HVDC transmission is crucial to meeting renewables targets, even though it is not really part of the smart grid. The report further identifies which kinds of advanced energy storage work best at the transmission, distribution, and residential points of power grid service.
