RECOMMENDED: We value Newton-Evans reports for several reasons. First, company founder Chuck Newton is perhaps the industry's most experienced researcher. Second, because the company specializes, it has great depth of knowledge in its topic areas. Third, the reports are conservative and sober. Newton Evans refuses to participate in the hype and over optimism that sullies reports from less experienced companies. The company's reports are long on facts and short on speculation. This study is no exception.

 

SUITABLE FOR: Sales and marketing executives at T&D equipment manufacturers, systems integrators, consultants, investment analysts and others who want to chart utility purchasing trends. Executives and managers at utilities who want to see the purchase plans of other utilities as a benchmark or who want to gauge the attitudes and plans of regulators.

 

REPORT SUMMARY: This study is based on inputs from utilities, regulators, manufacturers, systems integrators and consulting firms. It also includes highlights from recently completed Newton-Evans studies. 

 

Volume One includes assessment of survey results obtained from utilities in more than 30 countries, together with inputs from regulators from throughout the United States, as well as regulatory findings from China, India, Brazil and Mexico.  Survey topics included utility views and regulatory filings related to real-time pricing, vehicle-to-grid and vehicle-to-building topics.

 

 Volume Two includes sections that describe the current status and outlook for smart grid building blocks including control systems, substation automation, protection and control, outage management, distribution automation, smart infrastructure and automated metering.  The role of communications networks as the integrating force for smart grid development is also detailed.

 

 Volume Three is an attempt to realistically portray the market as it stands in 2011 and as it may look by 2015.  The outlook for specific smart grid developments in each world region and in key countries within several world regions is profiled.  The regional outlooks have been smoothed by taking into account regional variables including GDP, population, economic growth  rates, and electrical infrastructure assets (including power generation capacity, actual production, as well as transmission and distribution substations).  The volume also includes survey findings from research conducted with more than 30 global and regional market leaders active in development of the smart grid on the near-term and mid-term outlook for smart grid developments.
