A Smart Grid uses a two way digital control technology to increase its net
metering system efficiency. It collects information from consumers, and helps
in reducing costs and increase reliability and transparency. Ethernet is a
Local Area Network (LAN) technology that connects computers and other
computing devices placed in close proximity. Ethernet equipment comprise
repeaters, hubs, bridges, switches, etc. These equipment are used in
substations to increase interoperability between the Intelligent Electronic
Devices (IEDs) present in Substations. Smart Grids are fully automated
grids with communication capabilities that enable complete visibility of how
electricity is being used by the end-user in real-time. It can provide
foresight about when and where an outage is likely to take place; thus,
increasing its reliability. Further, it enables the seamless addition of
renewable sources of power like solar and wind. All Substation Automation
devices present in a Smart Grid need to have Ethernet connectivity. These
devices should have compatible application layers which allows Ethernet to
connect the devices together for effective communication. Ethernet is easy to
instal, cheap, and readily available making it an universal networking system
interface. Devices connected through Ethernet communicate through a
protocol known as Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection
(CSMA/CD). This report by TechNavio Insights highlights scope of the
Global Ethernet Equipment in Substation Automation for Smart Grid market over
the period 2009-2013. Further, it discusses key market trends, drivers, growth
inhibitors and a few major vendors in the market.
