The lessons learned from smart grid pilots over the last 5 years are leading to proven reliability improvements and verified grid efficiencies, which in turn have become powerful drivers for growth in the DA market. According to a new report from Navigant Research, revenue from DA systems will grow from $6.3 billion in 2013 to more than $11.3 billion in 2020. ~Source: Navigant Research, Smart Grid Distribution Automation Revenue Will Surpass $11 Billion by 2020, 2014 This year's Distribution Automation Europe Summit will give delegates a clear understanding of how to derive maximum value from your distribution automation investments.
