Analysts forecast the Global Distribution Automation market to grow at a CAGR of 8.67 percent over the period 2013-2018. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the need to optimize distribution loss. The Global Distribution Automation market has also been witnessing the increase in mergers and acquisitions. However, the lack of product differentiation could pose a challenge to the growth of this market.

SMi's 4th annual conference will enable delegates to meet and network with utilities and gather information. Hear about the most up to date topics to help you with your day to day activities and challenges. The conference will cover a range of latest topics on self healing grids, technology platforms, and synchronizing platforms for robust smart grid communication.

Key Topics for 2014:
• The new role of DSOs: IT and regulatory framework as key enablers
• Centralising distributed logical control for system performance improvement
• How Big Data Provides Utilities with a Unique Lever to Optimize the Grid
• Role and value of flexible technologies in supporting efficient Distribution Network Operation and development
• The integration of renewables using Voltage Regulated Distribution Transformer (VRDT)
