according to IHS IMS, a new achievements in the research of smart grid sensor North America market is expected to have increased significantly in the next two years. Titled "2013 the north American market" smart grid sensor, according to a report of feeder induction of North America market is undergoing major changes, new to this market has brought a series of new technology enterprises.


IHS predicted that by 2014, a smart grid sensor market scale will be 2012 Watson Wchangeorganisation expansion, revenue will reach $100 million for the first time in 2015. Feeder sensor fundamental shift happening in the market now, new to the market of enterprises to provide a new generation of technology is replacing old equipment. It also led to many relevant market changes, including the level of distribution of electronic equipment continues to grow, continue to promote the development of intelligent distribution network and automation, and the adoption of a new supplier of new technology, also showed that changing habits and behaviors of the public utilities in North America.
At present, the growth of the smart grid sensor market derived from replacing old fault circuit indicator (FCI). These old equipment has been purchased for decades, the utility company to install it in fragile overhead lines on the road. However, new technology is rapidly with the price of the old equipment, quickly won the market share. This year is feeder sensor market transition. New suppliers to provide products to the needs of the future, easy to upgrade, the overhead line fault indicator is better than the old fault detection circuit is more reliable, more accurate, with these advantages, they are taking the market share of the traditional sensor suppliers. Short-term prediction shows that a new generation of smart grid sensor will usher in a sharp increase, while the north American voltage/reactive power optimization (VVO) the implementation of the plan will drive the growth of the market for a long time. As a result of the north American utilities currently implementing voltage/reactive power optimization level is different, so the voltage/reactive power optimization equipment including sensor until 2015 is expected to usher in a significant growth.

The emergence of better fault detection technology, & lsquo; Bag type & rsquo; Utilities and budget resolution, expected surge in voltage/reactive power optimization, all of these together, make the smart grid sensor market showing a strong growth trend in the next five years. IHS estimates that by 2018, a smart grid sensor market would earn more than $200 million.
