Distribution automation is often required for the safe storage of electricity in large industrial complexes, office buildings, hospitals, etc. where heavy equipment and other large machines may be dangerous if left idle. For instance, a power plant, which produces electricity must constantly keep on running as maintaining all the machines' parts, repairing them, replacing parts, etc. is very costly and distribution automation is used to monitor the activities and provide preventive or corrective action in case there is a major power outage. A distribution automation system includes a number of machines, which are designed to handle the job of monitoring the distribution system and identify problems before they cause any damage. Some of these machines are designed for fault detection and monitoring, while some others are designed for general maintenance.

Market Dynamics

Increasing need for improved grid reliability and operating efficiency is expected to boost the global distribution automation market growth over the forecast period. Distribution automation provides numerous advantages including reduced line loos, enhanced operational efficiency, improved grid reliability, optimal energy use, and other economic benefits. As a result of this, the adoption of distribution automation in many countries has increased significantly. Recently, in February 2019, ABB collaborated with Intel for the marketing and selling of distribution automation systems and products in industrial applications.

Moreover, rising renewable energy integration is expected to accelerate growth of the global distribution automation market in the near future.
