Smart energy refers to a sustainable energy management solution that utilizes energy-efficient, renewable and the Internet of Things (IoT)-integrated systems and devices. It involves smart electricity, gas, solar and thermal grids and home energy management systems that use distributed generation systems, meters and modules for one-way or two-way communications. These solutions are used for collecting and storing data that are further transmitted to computers, laptops, smartphones and power line carriers. Smart energy systems enable the consumers to monitor and vary their energy demands and reduce emission rates. They also aid in reducing aggregate transmission and commercial energy losses while preventing disconnection, eliminating inefficiencies in billing and minimizing re-connection costs. As a result, smart energy is widely used for residential, industrial and commercial applications.
Smart Energy Market Trends:
The increasing deployment of smart grid technologies is one of the key factors driving the growth of the market. Moreover, the rising demand for efficient energy solutions is providing a thrust to the market growth. Smart energy solutions provide accurate readings regarding the energy consumption to the users and can aid in remote monitoring of sub-meters to prevent power outages. In line with this, the widespread adoption of advanced metering solutions, instrumentation, network infrastructure and network management software, especially in the developing economies, is also contributing to the growth of the market. These solutions are integrated with workforce and mobile management systems and distribution automation solutions for enhanced operational efficiency. Additionally, the increasing focus on rural electrification and the rising utilization of smart meters for automatic control of electricity, light and energy to minimize wastage are also favoring the market growth. Other factors, including the implementation of favorable government policies to promote the utilization of renewable energy resources, along with extensive infrastructural development, are anticipated to drive the market toward growth.
