World Market For Energy Management, SCADA, And Distribution Management Systems Climbs To $1.4 Billion
Newton-Evans Research Company introduces its new summary of findings and observations of transmission and distribution monitoring and control systems used in many of the world’s key electric power utilities. This study includes findings from more than 200 North American power utilities and 50-plus international utilities from 41 countries.
This New Study of the Global Electrical Power Market Incorporates Findings from Every World Region and Provides Market Assessment and Outlook for Global Markets.
Highlights from some of the 18+ individual topics researched in the global study of mission critical, real-time electric utility operational systems include the following:
OUTAGE MANAGEMENT: Almost thirty percent of the international utilities surveyed this year have implemented a separate outage management system (OMS). About 25% of the group plans to implement OMS as a separate system from SCADA/EMS by 2007. The largest international utilities were more likely to have already implemented an OMS than were their smaller counterparts. European and Asia-Pacific regional utilities were more likely to have implemented an OMS than were counterparts in other world regions.
GENERATION MANAGEMENT: Generation management systems (GMS) are also experiencing an increased level of activity this year, at least among those vertically integrated domestic North American utilities serving more than one half million customers. Most others (75%) continue to rely on automatic generation control (AGC) applications resident on their distribution SCADA systems for linking to power plant-based control systems (DCS¦s) or related power supply resources. Internationally, only a handful of participating utilities indicated use of, or plans for, a separate GMS.
