Grid transmission systems have adopted new technologies more readily than
in systems in the distribution segment of the grid. Nonetheless, NanoMarkets/Smart
Grid Analysis believes that as Smart Grids are deployed worldwide, changes are
coming to the transmission sector that will create new opportunities, not just
for systems firms, but also for firms that manufacture electronic components,
develop IT systems and carry out systems integration at every level.
In many countries, power companies are looking to deploy increased capacity
to support larger and wealthier populations and avoid the growing number of
power outages that have occurred in major cities over the past decade or so.
There is also a need for high capacity grid overlays or interconnects to support
long-distance transmission of energy from remote renewable energy generating
stations in order to make better, more efficient use of solar and wind power.
And connecting buyers and sellers across very large geographic regions is yet
another way that deploying Smart Grid transmission. Smart Grid also entails
more intelligent transmission systems intended to enhance reliability and security
and to create grids that are better able to cope in an era of distributed generation
architectures.

Grid Transmission Markets - 2010 report identifies where the Smart Grid
transmission opportunities will be found and what they will be worth over the
next eight years. Smart
Grid Transmission Markets - 2010 report covers all the latest developments
in transmission systems such as FACTS and high-voltage AC and DC transmission
systems and shows how the latest technology developments in power electronics
and superconductivity are enabling such systems. Smart
Grid Transmission Markets - 2010 report also predicts the deployment of
such systems in the grid network and shows how they are expected to change in
design and functionality over the next decade. In addition, Smart
Grid Transmission Markets - 2010 report also looks at how transformers and
monitoring components in the transmission sector will have to change to meet
the needs of the Smart Grid.
This is a worldwide study of Smart Grid transmission systems, technology and
markets and covers developments in North America, Europe, China, Japan, Korea
and the rest of Asia. Smart
Grid Transmission Markets - 2010 report looks at the business case for new
types of transmission systems and how these will be sold into today’s
conservative customer base. Smart
Grid Transmission Markets - 2010 report also provides an eight-year market
forecast for all the main equipment categories, broken out by product type and
technology and the markets into which they are sold.
NanoMarkets
believe that Smart
Grid Transmission Markets - 2010 report will be essential reading to suppliers
of equipment, utilities and investors looking to get a realistic appraisal of
where money is being made and will be made in Smart Grid transmission infrastructure
markets.
