Utility Smart Grid Outlook in North America 2013: Technologies, Strategies & Case Studies(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Dublin - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/crlklr/utility_smart) has announced the addition of the "Utility Smart Grid Outlook in North America 2013: Technologies, Strategies & Case Studies" report to their offering. As smart grid market drivers shift from U.S. stimulus funds to operational efficiencies, utilities are demanding that vendors prove a business case to justify smart grid expenditures to their investors and regulators. While some utilities are still initiating advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) and distributed generation projects to meet requirements, the lack of federal mandates in smart grid and renewable energy means that in order to predict where the industry is going and which companies will succeed, it is truly essential to understand how utilities are approaching the smart grid market. This 219-page report provides insight into the strategies utilities are employing to improve the efficiency and reliability of energy delivery. Smart grid submarkets covered in the report include AMI, distribution automation, data analytics, communications, network management, enterprise software and customer engagement.
