Role of ICT Technologies, Standards, Markets in Smart Grid Development, 2021 Market Analysis Report - ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "ICT Role in Smart Grid Development: Technologies, Standards, Markets" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

This report presents the in-depth analysis of Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) for the Smart Grid.

The concept behind smart energy and Smart Grid (SG) is controlling energy consumption internally, within the home, office and similar; and externally from the home to outside connected devices, networks, and the smart grid itself - all with the goal of optimizing energy production, distribution, and usage. Bi-directional communication between home networks and the power grid opens up possibilities for improved reliability and sustainability as well as reducing energy consumption.

Both wireless and wireline communications technologies are considered. Designers of SG networks have multiple choices; the report presents the comparison of various technologies with their benefits and issues.

In addition to "traditional" technologies, such as 802.15.4g and 802.22, the report concentrates on newer cellular technologies, such as LTE for low-powered and low-speed UEs. It also analyzes a group of IoT technologies that support SG connectivity (such as SigFox, LoRa, Weightless and RPMA).

The detailed survey of organizations that are involved in SG ICT development and standardization is also presented together with the survey of the industry. Marketing statistics also have been developed and included in the report.

This report is useful to a wide audience of technical, managerial and sales staff involved in the SG ICT development and implementation.
