American Manufacturing and Systems Integration Capabilities for Power Grid Modernization
Newton-Evans Research believes that American manufacturers can accommodate more rapid growth in U.S. grid modernization efforts than currently exists. Based on repeated surveys of key manufacturing companies active in grid modernization product development and firms involved with grid management and control systems integration activities, there is sufficient manufacturing and integration capacity to meet expected demand levels for almost all core components of the smart grid investment grant program identified by the U.S. Department of Energy as well as additional grid modernization components studied by Newton-Evans Research Company. The latter group includes the intelligent electronic devices required for various automation projects from transmission and distribution level applications down to smart infrastructure equipment.
Regarding the nation’s ability to increase systems integration workloads and capabilities, there is sufficient integration expertise available to expand usage levels of the following: (1) dynamic transmission line rating systems; (2) synchrophasor-related monitoring systems used in the nation’s high-voltage transmission networks; (3) operational control systems deployed for power generation management, transmission and distribution network operations and outage management; (4) information technology with which to intelligently manage deployments of grid modernization components, including telecommunications and analytical tools.

Assessment and Overview of the World Market for Time Synchronization in Electric Power Substations: A Utility and Industry Survey-Based Report on Precision Timing Requirements
During the second quarter of 2013, Newton-Evans Research Company undertook a two-pronged research program to determine the current usage patterns and mid-term plans among electric utilities for implementing time synchronization, the use of various time reference standards and the role of GPS. Concurrently, manufacturers of substation devices were queried about the extent to which their products and equipment supported precision timing protocol.By August 1, Newton-Evans had received usable survey responses (or replies) from 17 manufacturing company participants, 57 utilities from nearly 30 countries, and substation engineering teams from six major transmission and distribution engineering consulting firms.
The report is organized in three sections. The first section summarizes the survey findings from 17 leading suppliers of substation automation-related intelligent devices. The second section is a summary of findings from a survey of utilities around the world regarding their approaches and plans for time synchronization in their electric power substations. The third section is our synopsis of the size, vertical industry focus and global sales regions for the identified suppliers of precision timing clocks (whether PTP IEEE 1588-compatible or not).
