In the recent past, the power industry has witnessed massive transformation among its different segments from power to supply. In addition, technology, regulatory, and market structure have been spurred by the adoption of ambitious policies and strategies focused towards enhancing security, competitiveness, and sustainability of energy systems. Increased involvement of electricity consumers in the management and production, the rise in penetration of distributed and renewable energy resources are playing a crucial role in the transformation of the global power sector. These new advancements in the industry are anticipated to radically change the electricity industry and market especially at distribution level which is projected to create massive opportunities as well as pose challenges to the efficiency and reliability of system operation. Nevertheless, major barriers must be overcome to deploy smart grids at the scale they are needed. A smart grid—an electricity network—uses advanced technologies to monitor and manage the generation and transport of energy from various power generation sources to meet electricity demands of end-users.
Introduction of supportive government policies and mandates, rise in demand for integration of renewable energy sources, and increase in awareness among people regarding carbon footprint management are anticipated to boost the market growth over the forecast period. However, the high initial cost to set up smart grids, high risk of digital security and vulnerabilities, and lack of standards and interoperability are some of the major issues that are anticipated to hinder the market growth to some extent.
