Utility Outage Management System Spending is Expected to Total Nearly $11.8 Billion from 2014 to 2023, According to Navigant ResearchA recent report from Navigant Research analyzes the global market opportunities for outage management systems (OMSs), including global market forecasts for spending, segmented by category and region, through 2023. Historically, OMSs have been configured to respond to signals that indicate outages, manage restoration, and communicate outage information. However, with much larger amounts of data available from modern smart grid technologies, today's OMSs are becoming more complex and robust, incorporating more features to better prevent outages and restore power more efficiently. Click to tweet: According to a recent report from Navigant Research, global utility OMS spending is expected to total nearly $11.8 billion from 2014 to 2023. "As the grid has become smarter and more connected, utilities and vendors have recognized several issues with legacy OMS systems, which is driving change in the technology," says Lauren Callaway, research analyst with Navigant Research. "These innovations focus on integrating real-time information reporting, big data analytics, the cellular connectivity of work crews, and the growing effort to mesh engineering and operations IT systems with operational technology (OT)." Because today's OMSs need to be able to handle more data and restore power faster, vendors have created combined systems that also incorporate distribution management systems and supervisory control and data acquisition functionality. According to the report, these integrated systems, known as advanced distribution management systems (ADMSs), are expected to erodesales of standalone OMSs over the forecast period, particularly in North America and Europe. The report, "Outage Management Systems," analyzes the global market opportunities for OMSs. It provides an assessment of the current market drivers and challenges, regional trends, technologies, and business segments related to OMSs. Global market forecasts for spending, segmented by category (software purchases and upgrades, software maintenance fees, services, and analytics) and region, extend through 2023. The report also profiles key industry players and examines several utilities that have upgraded their OMSs to align with more ambitious smart grid initiatives and aggressive regulatory policies.
