Utility Management Association, New Proposals for 30% Cut in Energy Use in Buildings Will Energize Wireless Control Networks Industry, As Energy Management Bec
Mtn View, CA (PRWEB) June 18, 2007 -- - The announcement on June 4th by Mayor Bloomberg and Senator Schumer of a new federal plan to increase energy efficiency of buildings nationwide by 30% will have major resonance in the wireless control network technologies. Details can be found on Senator Schumer's website - www.senate.gov/schumer.
A new report from WTRS examines further the energy conservation potentials of wireless sensor networks. The opportunities for projects and products that more effectively manage energy use are being driven by a confluence of events.
The first of these is a growing demand for energy. Examples being the popularity of energy-hungry consumer electronics products such as plasma and flat panel displays, as well as the continued growth in demand for computing power. At the same time the constraints on adding new power generation capability such as regulations, political factors such as the resistance to the construction of new power plants located near metropolitan areas, as well as the capital requirements to build a new physical plant, are challenging the construction of new power generating plants. This combined with government and industry mandates for smart power infrastructure networks, automated metering services, and automated demand response systems, are causing significant demand for new products and technologies that manage the use of power in a more flexible and imaginative fashion. The power of wireless technologies.
The well known capabilities provided by wireless technologies; ease of installation, flexible deployment, and lower infrastructure costs are proving to be key enablers of these new solutions. In addition the broad portfolio of solutions tying wireless sensor networks back into traditional IT networks are helping organizations extract real value from information generated by wireless sensor networks. These factors are contributing to the explosive growth in the adoption and deployment of solutions based on wireless sensor technology.
"Research indicates that companies can recognize up to 30-90% reduction in operating costs by simply wirelessly-enabling a process," said President George West. "We have heard reports of project payback periods as short as 90 days. The opportunities for extraordinary project ROI's are being fueled by wireless sensor networks."
The WTRS Report, "Wireless Sensor Network Technology Trends Spring 2007" identifies other conclusions as well, including:
1) Industrial Sector is likely to undergo workflow churn as WSN applications increase safety, reliability and efficiency of industrial facilities.
2) Module and development kit pricing has dropped over the last 6 months while functionality has increased.
3) Frequency agility requirements are driving evolution toward industrial standards.
4) AMR management is a truly significant opportunity in Utilities Sector.
5) Growth of personal and national security demand drives much growth in WSN, in border control, access, defense, etc.
6) European Government mandates strengthening market hold on WSN.
7) Slow economic growth in US changes direction of WSN market expansion.
8) WSN market likely to converge on 3 to 4 players.
9) A fundamental driver for WSN is ability to power sensors with batteries.
The "WTRS Wireless Sensor Network Technology Trends Spring 2007" Report is 102 pages and contains 69 charts, tables and graphs.
