This is a multi-client study encompassing the world market for substation automation and integration programs. It measures current market sizes, estimates and forecasts demand for substation automation and integration equipment.

In addition to profiling utility requirements and plans, the research program is focused on defining the broader product and market requirements which suppliers must meet in order to successfully participate in the substation automation and integration programs within electric utilities worldwide.

This new round of research provides an appraisal of products, instruments and related substation equipment that electric utilities of all sizes will be specifying, recommending, and purchasing during the forecast period.


Key issues addressed in this series:

Product Requirements: What is the specific product functionality required in substation automation programs?

Product Utilization: What is the extent of substation automation programs in electric power utilities – in the U.S. as well as internationally?

Vendor Requirements: The future role of smaller, specialized providers of substation equipment, and protection and control equipment, in light of the global reach of large, “generalized” transmission and distribution substation equipment suppliers, is examined.

Purchasing Plans and Decision: What specific plans do electric utilities have for acquiring substation-based equipment, instruments, systems and related services?

Market Analysis: What will it take to be competitive in the substation automation and integration market?


Research Methodology:

The principal source of information for this study is the substation engineering unit of major investor-owned utilities, municipal and provincial utilities, cooperative utilities within the U.S. and Canada, together with national and regional power systems throughout the world.

Field survey work was conducted using a mix of primary research methods, including mail, fax, and email. When necessary, follow-up email and telephone interviews were conducted by Newton-Evans Research Company staff.
