U.S. Smart Grid research indicates that the leading players in the smart grid value chain include a wide range of
vendors, power providers, investors, regulators, government agencies, research institutions, and standard-setting
organizations that span various market segments. These businesses can be described as follows, with a few examples
in each case:
• “Legacy” power firms that have traditionally provided electric equipment and are now
involved in smart grid-related hardware, software and services (ABB, GE, Cooper Power
Systems, S&C Electric Company)
• IT firms that provide communications, networking, and data management (Cisco, IBM)
•Communications firms that provide products for advanced metering infrastructure
(Motorola, Silver Spring Networks, SmartSynch, Trilliant)
• Meter hardware firms that provide smart meters (Itron, Landis+Gyr, Sensus)
• Energy services firms that provide curtailment services to reduce peak demand
(Comverge, Constellation Energy, EnerNOC)
• Energy management firms that provide automation, monitoring, and control systems for
buildings (Honeywell, Johnson Controls, Schneider Electric)
• Telecom service firms that provide cellular network access (AT&T, Sprint, Verizon)
• System integration firms that help manage data from millions of smart devices
(Accenture, Capgemini, SAP)

Opportunities for a diverse array of manufacturers exist across several key areas exist for
Smart Grid Supply Chain areas.
Emerging advancements are taking root in areas related to the below listed categories. As
each technology segment begins to root itself in the North American market, small and
midsized manufactures stand to benefit from involvement in the supply chain of the following:
• Transmission Enhancement Applications
• Distribution Grid Management
• Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI)
• Wide Area Monitoring and Control
• Commercial, Industrial or Residential Building Energy Management
• Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure
• Information and Communication Technology Integration
• Renewable and Distributed Generation Integration

Transmission Enhancement Applications
Transmission Enhancement Applications are
the technologies that enable transmission
networks to be more controllable, maximize
power transfer, reduce I transmission losses
and decrease the risk of overloads.
These Technology Categories on were drawn from IEA, 2011, based on DOE’s
National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) and the National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST.)

Distribution Grid Management
Distribution Grid Management systems combine
sensor technologies and automation to continuously
maintain voltage levels, locate faults, reconfigure
feeders and control distributed generation for optimal
performance.
These Technology Categories on were drawn from IEA, 2011, based on DOE’s National Energy
Technology Laboratory (NETL) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST.)

Wide Area Monitoring & Control
Wide Area Monitoring and Control systems help
monitor, control and optimize the powerr system
over large geographic areas, avoiding blackouts and
facilitating the use of renewables. Advanced system
analytics generate data used to inform decisions and
make systems more reliable.
These Technology Categories on were drawn from IEA, 2011, based on DOE’s National
Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) and the National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST.)

Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI)
Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI)
The foundation of the smart grid's two-way flow of
data and the key to most smart grid efforts to date.
It is the underlying infrastructure that combines
smart meters, communications and data
management.
AMI involves a number of functions including smart
meters, the network that transmits data, and the
software to compile and manage the data.
These Technology Categories on were drawn from IEA, 2011, based on DOE’s National
Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) and the National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST.)

Commercial, Industrial or Residential Building Energy Management
Commercial, Industrial or Residential
Building Energy Management is a phrase
used to describe new technologies that
include energy dashboards, smart appliances,
local energy storage and various other
networked solutions are an important part of
smart grid “Demand Response.”

Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure
Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure
Electric Vehicle rely on energy storage in the
form of advanced vehicle batteries.
Connecting these vehicles to the grid for
battery recharging requires infrastructure to
handle billing, scheduling and other intelligent
functions.

Information and Communication Technology Integration
Information and Communication
Technology Integration make it possible to
integrate intelligence throughout the entire
power system and to achieve real time, two-
way communication in order to manage
energy more effectively.

Renewable and Distributed Generation Integration
Renewable and Distributed Generation
Integration connecting solar arrays, wind
farms and other sources to power grids. This
involves new products in addition to standard
technologies used to connect traditional
energy sources like coal and nuclear.
Accommodating small-scale distributed power
sources like roof top solar requires different
capabilities and systems.
