Electric Vehicles Are Changing the Market for Grid Automation

The ARC Grid Automation market report provides critical insight into the suppliers that make the electric grid operate. The grid automation report covers measuring devices, control and protection devices, control and data gathering communications, and a wide class of operational execution systems. The report scope includes DMS, ADMS, TMS, EMS, OMS, WAMS, VVC, LFA, forecasting, GIS, and the services that go with these products. Grid automation spans a wide range of suppliers and technologies, but fundamentally it is focused on reliability, cost of power, and meeting environmental goals. Grid regulators and operators will be introducing new energy, ancillary service, and capacity markets and new policies that will drive investment in new generation, storage, transmission, distribution, and demand response software and hardware.

"Electric vehicles are on the cusp of a revolution in passenger cars. The fear that EVs will disrupt the electric grid is giving way to the realization that EVs can be a stabilizing influence on the electric grid. With the proper regulations, polices, and standards many EVs can charge when power costs are low. When EV makers enable bidirectional charging, owners can realize Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) or Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) to make money and stabilize the grid. Grid regulators and operators will be introducing new energy, ancillary service, and capacity markets and new policies that will drive investment in new generation, storage, transmission, distribution, and demand response software and hardware. The strategy for suppliers is to evaluate how, when, and where the markets will change," according to Rick Rys, Senior Analyst and key author of ARC's Grid Automation Market Research Report.

Drones Are Taking Off in the Process Industries

ARC’s new research on Drones for the Process Industries covers unmanned aerial systems that are designed to operate in hard-to-reach areas and confined spaces and/or perform dangerous tasks to ensure employee safety, save time and money, and provide operational improvements via automation and digitalization. Enhancements such as advanced sensor payloads, more sophisticated cameras, and higher power on-board computing are enabling advanced applications like AI-enabled image processing and autonomous navigation and operations. Drones are increasingly able to tackle more sophisticated and challenging tasks like mobile inspection and automated data collection and analysis, all while helping to keep employees safe.

"Demand for drones in companies operating in asset-intensive process industries will be robust as the desire to keep employees safe from working in inaccessible areas or confined spaces or completing dangerous tasks remains paramount for a growing number of companies. Although employee safety is a key driver of drone adoption, end users are realizing that the improved functionality and performance capabilities of drones empowered by enhanced sensor payloads, advanced analytics and machine learning, increasing levels of autonomous operation, and 4G (and soon 5G) communications are providing enhanced operational improvements and often significant cost savings in terms of time and money from traditional inspection or surveying and mapping methods," according to Tim Shea, Senior Analyst and key author of ARC's Drones for the Process Industries Market Research Report.
