Technological Advancements to Drive the North American Advanced High Voltage Transmission Technology Market.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c48784) has announced the addition of the new Frost & Sullivan "North American North American named after North America. North American blastomycosis see North American blastomycosis. North American cattle tick see boophilusannulatus. Advanced High Voltage The term high voltage characterizes electrical circuits, in which the voltage used is the cause of particular safety concerns and insulation requirements. High voltage is used in electrical power distribution, in cathode ray tubes, to generate X-rays and particle beams, to Transmission Technology Markets" to their offering. This Frost & Sullivan research service titled North American Advanced High Voltage Transmission Technology Market provides market trends, technology trends, revenue forecasts, as well as market share information. In this research, Frost & Sullivan's expert analysts thoroughly examine the following technologies: composite conductors, high voltage DC (HVDC HVDC High Voltage Direct Current ), FACTS, and HTS HTS Heights HTS Harmonized Tariff System HTS High Throughput Screening (biomolecular assay screening) HTS High-Throughput Screening (Pharmaceutical Industry) HTS Harmonized Tariff Schedule . Market Sectors Expert Frost & Sullivan analysts thoroughly examine the following market sectors in this research: * Composite conductors * Flexible AC transmission systems * High voltage DC * High temperature superconductor A material that has little resistance to the flow of electricity. Traditional superconductors operate at absolute zero (-459.67 degrees Fahrenheit or -273.15 degrees Celsius). Experiments in the 1980s raised the temperature to -321 degrees Fahrenheit. Technologies The following technologies are covered in this research: * Composite conductors * Flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) * High voltage DC (HVDC) * High temperature superconductors (HTS) Market Overview Technological Advancements to Drive the North American Advanced High Voltage Transmission Technology Market The power transmission and distribution (T&D) infrastructure in North America North America, third largest continent (1990 est. pop. 365,000,000), c.9,400,000 sq mi (24,346,000 sq km), the northern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere. is in need of replacement or overhaul. The four technologies that can take on the pressure of additional transmission lines have been identified as composite conductors, flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS), high voltage DC (HVDC), and high temperature superconductors (HTS). Composite conductors, HVDC, and FACTS can help the situation in the near future by improving performance and efficiency of the T&D infrastructure. HTS seems to be the best bet for the medium to long term future because of its very high efficiency and capacity, says the analyst of this research service. The grids in North America need to be improved upon without a huge capital investment due to tighter controls on utility expenditure. Therefore, composite conductors are likely to be very useful in the near future, as they can achieve the same capacity addition at less than 25 percent of the total replacement plan due to their superior high temperature performance. They are an apt solution for improving grid reliability and increasing revenues to utilities at a reduced cost of operation. The FACTS segment is also expected to develop because it helps increase the capacity, power factor, and reliability of the entire grid. HTS is still an emerging segment but there is tremendous potential for it in North America. Low Cost, Reliability, and Competitive Pricing are the Keys to Cornering Market Shares Lower costs and reliability achieved through improved power generation technologies will be pointless if the T&D infrastructure is not efficient. The way forward for the utilities is to improve the T&D infrastructure using some of the advanced high voltage transmission technology market. In fact, all developments in this industry are likely to be focused toward increasing reliability, decreasing costs, improving automation, and providing remote monitoring (protocol) remote monitoring - (RMON) A network management protocol that allows network information to be gathered at a single computer. Whereas SNMP gathers network data from a single type of Management Information Base (MIB), RMON 1 defines nine additional MIBs that provide a and diagnostics. Manufacturers must also focus on improving automation and providing remote monitoring and diagnostics, comments the analyst. This will help reduce the operations and maintenance costs. Intelligent systems being presently developed will also improve the optimal usage of all equipment using various smart predictive and preventive maintenance The routine checking of hardware that is performed by a field engineer on a regularly scheduled basis.
