Active Network Management Market Size, Share, and COVID-19 Impact Analysis, By Component (Software, Services), By Enterprise Type (Small & Medium Enterprises, Large Enterprises), By Application (Automation, Grid Asset Monitoring, Real-time Monitoring, and Others), By Industry (Energy & Utility, Transportation, Government, Others), and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Active network management is a solution for handling constraints in real-time to defer or avoid reinforcement of existing assets. This technique is implemented by distribution network operators for the broader development of smart grids and to manage flows on the networks. Moreover, grid companies typically use Active Network Management (ANM) to control energy-generating schemes to avoid upgrading the network, which usually costs a lot of money. It is a communication platform that allows packets to actively modify the network operation flowing through a communication network. Active network management control and manage different energy infrastructure components, including power storage devices, renewable energy generation, generators, and others.

For instance, ZIV Automation partnered with Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) to provide Active Network Management solutions to deliver flexible and better energy system for its customers. Additionally, SSEN initiated the deployment and development of ANM solution through innovation projects to develop the U.K.’s first smart grid on Orkney.

Under this project, new energy generators can be initiated through automated controls to minimize the electrical output, thus preventing more energy being put onto the network that could cause system faults.

Moreover, with the rising share of renewable energy generation in electrical systems, ANM has become a valuable alternative for a distribution system operator to operate system in a secure and cost-effective way without expecting on network reinforcement.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Active Network Management Market

The outbreak of COVID-19 has impacted the demand and production of energy and power companies. The high cost & developments done by power generation and energy companies due to pandemic outbreak led to decreased need for active networks. However, high spending on advanced energy and power management solutions is considered a positive outlook for the active network management market.

However, the COVID-19 outbreak brings high spending on advanced energy and power management solutions and technologies; therefore, the long-term outlook remains positive for the active network management market.
