Abstract
The design of this venue report is to provide a detailed overview of the energy sector from the perspective of intelligent device networking. Through intense focus on industry structure, emerging technologies, potential legislation, and additional factors, we aim to provide a thorough understanding of the growth opportunity afforded product OEMs and technology suppliers via the adoption of machine-to-machine communication applications within the energy venue.
Harbor Research' s analysis is the result of focused industry research, interviews with product OEMs and technology suppliers, analysis of prevailing trends, and data collection regarding multiple power-related subjects. This report provides a more detailed assessment of the energy venue down to the constituent devices within the venue. These devices are organized according to the principal application areas within the key Energy segments of Electricity Supply/Demand and Gas/Oil/Natural Resources, namely:
- Power Generation - including gas and wind turbines, boilers, and heat exchangers
- Power Distribution - including circuit breakers, transformers, switchgear, capacitors
- Power Quality - including voltage regulators, surge protection, and UPS systems
- Metering - including electricity, water and gas for Residential, Commercial, Industrial
- Oil & Gas/Extraction & Pipelines - including pipelines, pumps, compressors and drilling equipment
We believe that the energy venue possesses a huge amount of untapped potential for M2M/Pervasive Internet growth. Political, financial and social investments have made the generation of power a hot-button issue, regardless of geography. Opportunities within supply-side electricity, demand-side electricity, and oil, gas, and natural resources will flourish throughout the decade, as energy concerns continue to rise.
This report, as well as Harbor' s other venue reports (Buildings, Transportation, Healthcare/Life Sciences, Security/Public Safety, Industrial, Retail and Consumer/Professional) can be purchased on its own or as part of the firm' s Pervasive Internet Retainer Service.
