The report identifies and quantifies all sensor-related opportunities related to the Smart Grid. This includes not only energy monitoring and load balancing sensors. Security monitoring and equipment inspection are also part of the story. In addition, coverage of the energy monitoring aspect of the market includes conventional electrical sources as well as sensors for load balancing for alternative energy. We also examine the markets for Smart-Grid-related sensors and sensor systems that are used both by power companies and in buildings including specialist sensors that are being developed for grid applications, such as those that are capable of rapid analysis of anomalies in electricity quality over very large geographic areas.

Report Summary
Sensors for the Smart Grid: Market Opportunities 2010 – Much of the literature on smart
grid makes the point that the smart grid will use lots of “advanced sensors.” Sensors are
intrinsic to advanced metering applications, for example. As a result we believes that the
emerging Smart Grid will create important new markets for sensors over the coming
decade. Giant firms such as AT&T are already creating units to tap into this opportunity and
this report indentifies where all the new business revenues in Smart Grid sensors will be
coming from. It will be essential reading for product managers, marketers and business
development executives at sensor firms, networking companies, advanced materials and
software companies and all businesses involved with the emerging smart grid.
