London, Southwark (PRWEB UK) 12 August 2014 -- In the context of smart grid deployments today, Distribution Automation (DA) refers to intelligent distribution systems that are fully controllable and flexible, and that can help operate the grid more efficiently due to their embedded intelligence. 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
