2011 has been touted as “the year of the plug-in electric vehicle”. With domestic fuel prices up 30 percent since last year, drivers are feeling pain at the pumps. Automakers have heard the cries of American wallets and have delivered a fleet of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs). The Nissan Leaf and Chevy Volt are the first in a new generation of PEVs. The Leaf, a full PEV, runs entirely on a battery powered by the electric grid. The Volt is a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) that runs on a grid powered battery but also has a conventional engine fueled by gasoline. The Volt can travel between 20-50 miles on a single charge while the Leaf can travel over 100 miles. Regardless of a driver’s selection, the charging costs of both vehicles are less per mile than gasoline or diesel – approximately three cents per mile for EVs versus 12 cents per mile for conventional engines.
The global market for next generation smart grid technology is projected to grow substantially from $4.9 billion in 2011 to $43.3 billion in 2020, driven by proactive home energy consumers, renewable energy integration, and electric transportation. Growth will be slow over the next 5 years but accelerate starting in 2016. Developed countries such as the US, China, South Korea, Japan, Canada, UK, France, Spain, Denmark, Germany, Australia and New Zealand will lead the market as they are further along in national smart grid deployments. Opportunities will be largest for firms investing in innovative R&D to leverage the first layer of smart grid technology currently being deployed globally.
With Smart Grids in the foreseeable future, Demand-Side Management (DSM) is on the cusp of a revolution that will forever alter the way that homes and businesses use electricity.
