Glen Allen, VA: Smart Grid Analysis (SGA), NanoMarkets' group dedicated to analyzing emerging market and technology opportunities within Smart Grids, has just announced a new report that will be released in April of 2010 that addresses the market potential for equipment and services brought about by microgrids. Additional details about the report, Microgrid Markets and Opportunities, including a table of contents can be found at www.smartgridanalysis.com or www.nanomarkets.net.

About the Report:

Microgrids are an emerging sector of the Smart Grid market, which we believe will exhibit significant growth over the next decade and there are already many applications where a compelling case can be made for their deployment. These include hospitals, high tech office parks, educational campuses, industrial applications, etc. In all of these applications and more microgrids can enhance power quality, reliability and security as well as improve energy economics.

This new report reviews the state-of-the-art in smart grids and where the technology is headed in the future and then goes on to identify and quantify the business opportunities that are emerging as microgrids are installed worldwide. We analyze these opportunities in both novel and established applications and also discuss how the new microgrids will fit in with both the existing grid infrastructure and in entirely off-the-grid deployments. We also discuss how regulatory frameworks facilitate and inhibit the creation of microgrids.

In addition to discussing the evolution of microgrid technology and the kind of equipment that will be used in microgrids, this report also discusses the service revenue potential from microgrids; especially sales of electricity. It also provides profiles of the major projects and companies with demonstration microgrids in place as well as major microgrid projects in development and planned in the near future. Based on information from these current and planned microgrids, we provide eight-year market forecasts of microgrids and the revenue opportunities that they will generate.

From reading this new report, readers will come to understand who will be the likely winners and losers in the microgrid space and why. This report will be essential reading for all firms planning to become involved in this space as well as investors who want to understand the strengths, weaknesses and strategies of the current emerging market in microgrids.
