40% off “The World Market for Substation Automation and Integration Programs in Electric Utilities: 2017-2020.”

In 2017 Newton-Evans completed its eleventh worldwide study of the market for substation automation and integration systems in electric utilities. This 4-volume report series measures current market sizes for several sub-categories of equipment and services in North America and by World Regions. It also estimates and forecasts demand for substation automation equipment through year-end 2020, and profiles utility requirements as well as broader product and market requirements.

Newton-Evans observed four major types of professional third-party service providers that assist electric utilities with substation modernization. These firms range from (1) smaller local or regional engineering consultancies with substation engineering resources to (2) major global participants in EPC work, to (3) the engineering services units of manufacturers of substation devices and platforms, to (4) substation integration specialist firms that source and integrate devices from multiple manufacturers for utility and industrial clients. The role of such service providers is growing in importance each year. Global spending for external substation engineering and automation services provided to electric utilities over the 2017-2020 years will likely exceed $4.1 Billion according to the study findings. This is an important segment of the total world market potential for substation modernization that exceeds $45 billion.

The North American market report (Volume One) includes survey participation from 65 large and midsize US and Canadian electric utilities while the international market report (Volume Two) includes survey participation from 32 unique utilities in 20 countries around the world. In addition to the baseline survey questions, the report includes 2017 substation survey findings on four additional specific topics: communications issues; protective relaying trends; security topics and the CAPEX/OPEX outlook for substation modernization.

Volume Three is the detailed market synopsis and global outlook for substation automation and integration:

Section One of the report provides top-level views of substation modernization, automation & integration, and a narrative market synopsis.
Section Two provides mid-year 2017 estimates of population, electric power generation capacity, transmission substations and primary MV distribution substations for more than 120 countries in eight world regions. Information on substation related expenditures and spending for protection and control for each major world region and several major countries is also provided.
Section Three provides information on NGO funding resources for substation modernization among developing nations.
Section Four of this report volume includes North American market share estimates for 2016 shipments of many substation automation-related devices and equipment.

The Supplier Profiles report (Volume Four) provides descriptive information on the substation modernization offerings of more than 90 product and services companies.

Additional topics being covered in the four-volume series of substation automation studies include in-depth coverage of several communications topics, vendor security certification requirements, external systems linkages to the substation, and preferred equipment suppliers.
