In today’s data-driven economy, data is a strategic asset to any business, and organizations around the world are occupied with anomalous amounts of data. Frost & Sullivan expects that the volume of data created would reach 175 Zettabytes (ZB) by 2025. Driven by this explosive growth in data and technological advancements in Big Data and computin...

The global UPS market is witnessing growth due to data center demand across key countries such as the U.S, U.K, Germany, China, Japan, UAE, and African countries. UPS is an essential component to ensure uninterrupted, high power quality to equipment that cannot afford an interruption or disturbance in power. The market revived after a slump and is ...

Blockchain is predicted to disrupt majority, if not all, of industries in the medium term. At the moment, the development of blockchain technology is already gaining momentum and it is already advancing in number of industries, oil and gas included. The core technology that blockchain can provide, which is distributed ledger, is seen as medium to i...

The world is undergoing a transition in the energy industry from the traditional fossil-fuel based baseload power generation to a decentralized, distributed, and cleaner format due to approaching or already established grid parity of many technologies, such as solar power, offshore wind power, electric vehicles and the like. However, conventional u...

Fuel cells are expected to see significant growth over the next decade, as countries move toward cleaner power to diversify their power mix away from fossil fuels. The need to decarbonize the power sector will only intensify over the next decade. Renewable energy will play a big part in this story, but fuel cells will also be a source of clean powe...

As EVs continue to disrupt the power-mobility ecosystem, the role played by charging solutions in the 2020s will be crucial in how effectively the ecosystem develops. This will more so as utilities, technology solution providers, and major oil and gas firms look to target an area which effectively bridges power and mobility. Although a nascent indu...

The architecture of the global energy market is changing. The market model is transforming from highly centralized power distribution into decentralized, distributed energy management enabled by intelligent software and new approaches to data management. Three trends—digitalization, decentralization, and decarbonization—are steering the transfo...

The global smart meter market continued to register strong growth in 2018, as major rollouts continued to accelerate, pilot projects became larger projects and the first second-generation smart meter installations occurred. China will remain the most important country market, accounting for approximately 50% of shipments across the forecast period,...

Offshore wind energy involves the harvesting of wind power by setting up wind turbines in bodies of water, usually on the seafloor. Owing to the higher wind velocities in offshore locations, offshore wind turbines deliver greater power than their onshore counterparts. Higher offshore wind velocities also translate into higher capacity utilization f...
