Overview of the global distribution feeder automation market

The global distribution feeder automation market report predicts the market to grow at a CAGR of close to 6% by 2021. The growing need for uninterrupted power supply as one of the primary distribution feeder automation market drivers. Owing to the frameworks of dynamic competitive environments, several businesses have realized the need for uninterrupted power supply without compromising on power quality. For instance, most of the manufacturing industries are now shifting toward Just in Time (JIT) delivery. An outage lasting even for a short duration creates a huge mismatch between supply and demand, thereby adversely affecting the overall revenue of the company. To overcome this challenge companies are using distribution feeder automation that reduces the outage time by quickly switching between feeder lines.

The integration of IoT with feeder circuits is one of the latest distribution feeder automation market trends. Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming the next-generation technology for utility companies to distribute power to industrial, commercial, and residential users. Additionally, IoT is also being adopted in grid automation to bring about a revolution in the communication sector and has increased the adoption of highly customized automated devices into the feeder system. Moreover, the adoption of IoT in grid facilities also helps overcoming challenges such as interoperability and data readability which will increase the implementation of IoT in grid facilities.
