Opportunity:  Use of power line communication technology for lighting control applications

The power line communication technology is witnessing an increasing penetration in the lighting control applications. This technology can be used for both indoor as well as outdoor lighting control. In outdoor lighting, street lighting, such as roadway lighting, tunnel lighting, car park lighting, and urban lighting, is one of the upcoming applications where this technology is increasingly being used. Street lighting accounts for a significant portion of operating expenses incurred by municipalities and businesses with large facilities. Moreover, the lighting cost cannot be avoided, as it is necessary for public safety and operation; hence, municipalities and businesses are moving toward automating lighting networks for lowering the energy usage. Power line communication is considered one of the ideal technologies for this purpose. The advantages, such as no additional wiring required for setting up communication network, as well as network coverage even through walls, underground, and adverse weather conditions, offered by this technology has led to its adoption in the lighting control applications. Furthermore, this technology is increasingly being used for network expansion and lighting control in smart homes. A number of companies in the power line communication market are offering power line communication technology-based products for the lighting control application. For instance, NYX Hemera Technologies (Canada) offers TLACS-EM solution designed for switching on and off luminaire/lamps, and controlling and supervising luminaire/lamps status and consumption. This solution for communication either uses the power line communication technology and transfers the data through the power lines or uses dedicated communication wires.

Challenge:  Availability of various substitute technologies

The players providing power line communication technology face competition from other players providing wired and wireless communication technologies. Fiber-optic network is one of the communication technologies, which can be used for smart grid communication instead of power lines. The selection of the communication technology depends upon various factors such as infrastructure, application, and resources. For instance, the factors, such as frequency spectrum for wireless technologies, availability of fiber-optic cables, and quality and length of the power cables for broadband power line carrier, needs to be considered for the selection of communication technology for data communication in power utilities. At times, a combination of various communication technologies is also required to be deployed at the power utilities for effective communication and cost efficiency. At the consumers’ end, the selection of communication technology differs based on consumer’s requirements. For instance, in buildings, where a communication network is required only for the transmission of meter data and price signals, GPRS modems or narrowband power line carriers are sufficient. On the other hand, broadband power line carriers, fiber-optic cables, or wireless solutions can be used in smart homes where power generation and controllable loads or e-car charging stations need to be managed. In the network expansion application segment, the power line communication technology-based product providers face competition from other players offering various communication devices such as Wi-Fi extenders and network switches. However, companies operating in the power line communication market are focusing on offering innovative products to compete with the substitute communication technologies. For instance, in 2016 TP-Link Technologies launched the TL-WPA9610, an AV2000 gigabit powerline AC Wi-Fi kit. This device is designed for the network expansion application and is capable of simultaneously delivering AV2000 via powerline and AC1200 via Wi-Fi.

APAC to be the fastest growing market for power line communication during the forecast period

Some of the key countries in the power line communication market in APAC include China, Japan, India, and South Korea. High economic growth witnessed by major developing economies in the region can be attributed to the rapid growth of the power line communication market in the region. Government efforts to expand the grid and build new power plants, wind farms, and solar farms in China and India are also likely to drive the demand during the forecast period. Heavy investments towards smart city infrastructure in China where this technology is used for smart grids and smart buildings for communication will be a likely factor to contribute to the growth of the market 

Some of the players operating in the power line communication market include Siemens (Germany), NETGEAR (US), ABB (Switzerland), AMETEK (US), Schneider Electric (France),  General Electric (US), Hubbell Power Systems (US), TP-Link Technologies (China), D-Link (Taiwan), Landis+Gyr (Switzerland), Belkin International (US), Corinex Communications (Canada), devolo (Germany), and Zyxel Communications (Taiwan).
