Feeder Automation Market by Application (Commercial, Industrial, & Residential), by Product (Hardware, Software, & Services), and Region - Global Trends & Forecasts to 2019
[210 Pages Report] Feeder automation is a constituent of distribution automation system, which principally focuses on remote monitoring and control of the distribution systems & their equipment. Distribution feeders include control devices, most common being the shunt capacitors to meet local volt-ampere reactive (VAR) requirements or support voltage regulation. In addition, it comprises components such as line reclosers, load break switches, and sectionalizers. Reactors are employed to limit the fault current in the system. Integration of such automatic devices in the feeder system is done in order to optimize the management of capital assets and enhance operation and maintenance efficiencies with minimal human intervention.
Factors driving the feeder automation market include rising electricity prices with increased consumption, renewable energy integration, and improved reliability and efficiency. Growing demand for energy, coupled with increasing investment in automation activities, is expected to drive the global feeder automation market to $3,445.0 Million by 2019, at a CAGR of 7.2% from 2014 to 2019.
The market for this system in regions such as the Americas has grown in the past decade due to its benefits, which include labor cost savings, reduction in unconsumed energy, and reduction in electrical losses. The global market is expected to witness sound growth in the near future, supported by various governments for effective installation and reconfiguration of networks for real-time optimization.
