Electric infrastructure has a nature of interconnection to other critical infrastructures such as Communication, Water, Transportation and others, any disturbance has the potential for cascading interruption of critical facilities and services, which can impact national public health and safety. To address these problems, government across countries are increasing funding and developing programs for smart grid technology. According to smartgrid.gov, the Office of Electricity is investing nearly $10 million in early-stage research in smart grid in the US. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Electricity (OE) Advanced Grid Research and Development Division is proposing a new Sensor Technologies and Data Analytics Program.
Restraint:
- Increase in adoption of smart technologies and rise in development of smart cities
According to OECD, smart cities are initiatives or approaches that effectively leverage digitalization to boost citizen well-being and deliver more efficient, sustainable and inclusive urban services and environments. Some of the leading smart cities around the globe are Singapore, Dubai, Oslo, Copenhagen, and others. Smart cities are developed when several subjects such as, Mobility, Healthcare, Security, and Energy, among others, combines to automate and digitize several public services while improving the citizen experience. Smart grid is one of the most essential part of smart city and distributed energy resources (DER) systems.
Opportunity:
