Smart Meters report (
http://www.bharatbook.com/Market-Research-Reports/Smart-Meters.html
) explores neighborhood-area and home-area communications technologies and
standards, defines “basic” versus “advanced” meter capabilities, and provides
detailed market forecasts by technology and world region. Key vendors,
standards, and deployments are profiled, offering a comprehensive window into
the dynamic market for smart metering.
Electricity metering is undergoing its greatest transformation since the first
meter was installed more than 120 years ago. Smart Metering, integrating
advanced communications with energy measurement, is on the front lines of Smart
Grid deployments, promising major energy savings by changing how and when
customers use electricity. Major utilities worldwide, enticed by savings and
prodded by governments, are embarking on wholesale replacement of over 45% of
the North American and European installed base by 2015, breaking the traditional
15-20 year meter replacement cycle. This represents an unprecedented — and time
limited — opportunity for meter and communications suppliers as a projected
$19.5 billion of smart meters are deployed worldwide between 2010 and 2015.
While smart metering energy, climate, and operating benefits may be common
around the world, the communications technologies, standards, and regulatory
environments are not. Multiple proprietary and semi-standard solutions exist for
a “network of networks” linking smart meters and consumers’ in-home devices into
a cohesive energy infrastructure, but vendors, utilities, governments, industry
associations, and standards bodies are all exerting different influences in each
region. This report forecasts that the worldwide smart meter market will
experience an aggressive 19% CAGR through 2015, but underneath regional waves of
growth, peaks and valleys will likely have disproportionate impacts on industry
players.
