ARC says Smart Grid Software Market to Grow 65% in Five Years

ARC預(yù)測智能電網(wǎng)軟件市場在5年內(nèi)將增長65％ 
 
August 5, 2010: The worldwide Smart Grid Operations Management software and services market will grow by greater than 65% over the next five years, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.1 percent. A new report published by ARC Advisory Group projects this substantial growth will result from a concurrent wave of new technology and worldwide infrastructure spending driven by sovereign investment programs. These sovereign investment programs are heavily focused on technology to improve grid reliability, efficiency, and information management capabilities. Smart grid operations management software is a critical element in the development of more efficient and reliable electric grids.

8月5日消息——未來5年，全球智能電網(wǎng)的運行管理軟件和服務(wù)市場將獲得超過65％的增長，即年復(fù)合增長率（CAGR）為11.1%。ARC顧問集團(tuán)公布的一份最新報告表明，新興技術(shù)以及政府投資計劃帶動全球基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施開支的兩大浪潮是該市場持續(xù)增長的因素。這些政府投資項目均集中在提升電網(wǎng)的可靠性、效率、信息管理能力的技術(shù)革新。在發(fā)展更可靠、更高效電網(wǎng)的過程中，智能電網(wǎng)運營管理軟件是一個非常關(guān)鍵的因素。

The United States, China, and India are the countries currently allocating the greatest amount of public capital to grid expansion and improvement initiatives. “The concurrent deployment of the $8 billion in U.S. smart grid investment, $180 billion in Chinese grid investment, and $10 billion for the Indian R-APDRP program is serving as the catalyst for exceptional growth in this technology-driven market,” according to Clint Reiser, Enterprise Software Analyst, and the principal author of ARC’s “Smart Grid Operations Management Software & Services Worldwide Outlook.” The growth is also being supported by expansion projects in emerging markets such as the Middle East and Latin America.

目前，美國、中國和印度是在電網(wǎng)擴建和升級項目中投入公共資金數(shù)額最大的國家。ARC企業(yè)軟件領(lǐng)域的分析師Clint Reiser在其主筆的《智能電網(wǎng)運營管理軟件和服務(wù)全球市場研究報告》中指出：“美國政府投資80億美元于智能電網(wǎng)、中國投入1800億美元用于電網(wǎng)建設(shè)、印度投入100億美元用于其R-APDRP項目是這一技術(shù)驅(qū)動型市場取得異常增長的催化劑。”中東和拉美等新興市場也有越來越多的擴建項目，這必然促進(jìn)智能電網(wǎng)市場的發(fā)展。

U.S. Government Stimulus
美國政府的刺激方案

In 2009, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act allotted $4.5 billion to modernize the electric grid, enhance security of U.S. energy infrastructure, and ensure reliable electricity delivery to meet growing demand. Smart grid management software vendors have already begun experiencing increased interest in their solutions. Although these software vendors anticipate growth to occur in transmission and substation automation technology, they anticipate the greatest growth to occur from spending on distribution technology to enhance network control, efficiency, reliability, and power quality. In particular, vendors have noted that utilities have shown interest in new distribution management system and outage management system applications.

2009年，美國恢復(fù)和再投資法案撥出45億美元用于智能電網(wǎng)的現(xiàn)代化改造，增強美國能源基建設(shè)施的安全性，確保滿足經(jīng)濟增長所需要的電力供應(yīng)。智能電網(wǎng)管理軟件供應(yīng)商也開始感覺到他們的解決方案受到越來越多的關(guān)注。盡管這些軟件供應(yīng)商預(yù)期的增長出現(xiàn)在傳輸及變電站自動化技術(shù)上，但他們預(yù)計最大的增長來自于對增強網(wǎng)絡(luò)控制、效率、可靠性、發(fā)電質(zhì)量的配電技術(shù)投資上。特別地，供應(yīng)商已經(jīng)注意到了公用事業(yè)機關(guān)對新型配電管理系統(tǒng)和停電管理系統(tǒng)的應(yīng)用表現(xiàn)出的濃厚興趣。

China’s Ongoing Grid Expansion and Modernization
中國正在推進(jìn)電網(wǎng)擴建和現(xiàn)代化改造

China is in the midst of a large-scale, nationwide grid extension and modernization project. What began as an effort to supply electricity to the majority of the country’s population has gradually shifted focus toward grid modernization and efficiency. ARC believes that smart grid operations management software and other intelligent grid elements will account for an increasing percentage of total spending as this shift in focus toward grid modernization continues. Chinese Government and industry leaders have stated that a “unified strong and smart grid” system is going to be built across the country by 2020. Larger scale smart grid construction is expected to be included in China’s five year development plan beginning in 2011. A number of foreign technology and service providers have already established a presence in China in anticipation of the country’s smart grid growth opportunities.

中國政府正在全國范圍內(nèi)實施大規(guī)模的電網(wǎng)擴建和現(xiàn)代化改造項目。電網(wǎng)建設(shè)的重點從起初的滿足國內(nèi)大部分人口的電力供應(yīng)逐漸轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)殡娋W(wǎng)的現(xiàn)代化和效率。ARC認(rèn)為，隨著對電網(wǎng)現(xiàn)代化的持續(xù)關(guān)注，智能電網(wǎng)運營管理軟件和其他智能電網(wǎng)元器件占總投資的比重將逐漸增大。中國政府和行業(yè)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)企業(yè)已公布了“統(tǒng)一堅強智能電網(wǎng)”計劃到2020年全面建成。大規(guī)模的智能電網(wǎng)建設(shè)預(yù)計將被歸納入起始于2011年的中國下一個五年發(fā)展規(guī)劃，而眾多國外技術(shù)和服務(wù)供應(yīng)商早已布局中國市場，期待分享中國的智能電網(wǎng)發(fā)展機遇。
