According to the report, Hitachi Energy is the No. 1 provider of grid automation products and services worldwide. The company was also recognised as the market share leader in key software categories, including Grid Control & Management, Outage Management, and AI Applications. ARC’s study also revealed Hitachi Energy leads the market in a number of hardware categories, including Wireless and Wired Networks, Measurement devices, and RTUs.

The report points to substantial growth in grid automation software, hardware and services due to a changing mix of generation, new grid-storage assets, and new market structures such as virtual power plants and support for demand response. In particular, the report states growth is strongest in regions building new electric grids or making major system upgrades or repairs due to weather events or wars that target and damage electric distribution systems.
