These are critical times for the mining industry, with ever-increasing pressure from governments, customers, and other stakeholders to operate in a sustainable manner.  The rising demand for mineral resources, driven by emerging markets, highlights the fact that maintaining the levels of needed supply will be a significant challenge in the future and energy will become increasingly more important for the bottom line, shareholder value, and license to operate.</p>
<p>Many of the key industry players in the mining arena have developed energy saving strategies and are investing directly into renewable energy infrastructure.  For the most part, this is an outgrowth of the industry-wide realization that emerging technologies and strategies exist to better manage energy consumption, costs, supply, and risks from international and national regulations.  In addition, several companies have already included revenue streams from carbon credits and carbon trading as a vehicle to augment revenue streams, while, at the same time, addressing climate change regulations and/or taxes.</p>
<p>This Pike Research report provides a detailed examination of energy consumption dynamics in the global mining industry, along with an analysis of the market opportunity for greater utilization of renewable energy.  The study assesses the market drivers and policy issues that are influencing mining companies’ increasing interest in renewable energy, along with a review of the technology issues associated with each option.  The strategies of key industry players are profiled in depth and market forecasts through 2020 are provided for renewable energy investment in the sector.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="/wp-content/themes/pike-next-gen/images/pike_icons/white-senergy.png" width="68" height="68" alt="" title="Smart Energy" /><img src="/wp-content/themes/pike-next-gen/images/pike_icons/white-shome.png" width="68" height="68" alt="" title="Smart Energy Home" /><img src="/wp-content/themes/pike-next-gen/images/pike_icons/white-sgrid.png" width="68" height="68" alt="" title="Smart Grid" /><br/><p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-36318" title="Home Energy Management" src="http://www.pikeresearch.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/HEM-12.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="205" />The home energy management (HEM) market continues to struggle for more traction.  By now, with major deployments of smart grid infrastructure in place, the expectation had been that a smarter grid would be enabling the wider use of new tools and incentives for consumers to use energy more efficiently.  People would save money, and utilities would benefit from lower overall consumption and not having to spend capital so quickly on new power generating plants.</p>
<p>The HEM market has been stuck in near neutral, though, with numerous trials and only a few cases of industry-led deployments or significant consumer uptake.  That view is starting to change a bit.  Over the coming years, a continued desire among consumers to reduce bills, regulatory mandates for greater efficiency, wider use of variable pricing schemes, and a strong “green” sentiment will combine to help drive adoption forward.  These market forces, however, will be countered by indifference to the promised potential savings, a resistance to paying extra for HEM hardware, unsettled standards for interoperability, a crowded vendor space, and lukewarm support by some utilities.  Nonetheless, the driving forces will spur some gains, particularly where mandates have the most teeth.</p>
<p>This Pike Research report examines global and regional home energy management trends as they play out along a continuum of five segments: paper bills, web portals, standalone systems, in-home displays, and integrated HAN/HEM systems.  The study also explores the drivers and inhibitors shaping the market, plus major technology issues.  It provides market forecasts through 2020, with breakdowns by these five segments and by world regions.  Key vendor profiles, analysis of new players, and case studies are included as well.  In addition to the supply-side analysis, results from a Pike Research consumer survey focus on the demand side of HEM as well, making for a complete market overview.</p>
<h5>Key Questions Addressed:</h5>
<ul>
	<li>What are the market forces      shaping the HEM sector?</li>
	<li>How many HEM systems will be      deployed over the next 10 years?</li>
	<li>How large is the revenue opportunity      for the HEM market?</li>
	<li>How does this opportunity vary among      the five key segments?</li>
	<li>What technology issues are      shaping this market?</li>
	<li>Who are the major players in the      HEM space?</li>
	<li>Which global regions will provide      the most opportunities for HEM vendors?</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="/wp-content/themes/pike-next-gen/images/pike_icons/white-altvehic.png" width="68" height="68" alt="" title="Alternative Fuel Vehicles" /><img src="/wp-content/themes/pike-next-gen/images/pike_icons/white-strans.png" width="68" height="68" alt="" title="Smart Transportation" /><br/><p>In the last couple of years, a large number of electric bicycles have come onto the market in every region of the world.  The e-bicycle market is currently in a state of strong growth in the Asia Pacific and European regions, while North America has underperformed expectations in the last few years.  The result is that the market for e-bicycles is growing increasingly crowded, with a number of competitors in each region.  The 15 manufacturers chosen for this Pike Pulse either have the largest market share or are growing very quickly.  Even so, several large new competitors are expected to emerge in 2012 as market consolidation continues.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-33985" title="Pike Pulse Electric Bicycles" src="https://www.pikeresearch.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/PP-EBIKE-12-Grid.jpg" alt="" width="656" height="470" />
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>One market remains dominant in e-bicycle sales: China, which accounts for 92% of the global market.  The Chinese market has been fueled by the increasing need for inexpensive urban transportation, a highly fragmented marketplace, a wide array of e-bicycle designs, and low-cost product components and batteries.  Outside of China, the Western European market is one of the few markets to have mandated pedal-assist e-bicycles (most other regions allow throttle controlled e-bicycles).  While China’s battery market is largely lead acid based, the Western European and North American markets are more accepting of lithium ion batteries, because the quality and range are important enough to justify the higher cost.</p>
<p>This Pike Research report evaluates 15 e-bicycle companies that either have the largest market share or are growing very quickly.  The companies are rated on 12 criteria for strategy and execution, including vision, go-to-market strategy, partnerships, product and production strategy, technology, geographic reach, sales and marketing, distribution maturity, product quality and reliability, product portfolio, pricing, and staying power.  Using Pike Research’s proprietary Pike Pulse methodology, vendors are profiled, rated, and ranked with the goal of providing industry participants with an objective assessment of these companies’ relative strengths and weaknesses in the e-bicycle market.</p>

On one hand, they are driven to increase their subscriber bases and drive more traffic on their networks, while maintaining a high level of service quality and availability.  At the same time, they must keep a close eye on the bottom line and meet their public pledges to reduce capital and operating expenditures, total cost of ownership, and CO2 emissions.  To achieve these goals, operators are working to reduce energy-related expenses, increase operational efficiency, reduce costs associated with network deployments, and increase their utilization of clean energy sources.</p>
<p>In this context, network operators and telecom equipment vendors continue to invest in initiatives to improve the energy efficiency of telecom networks and reduce their associated carbon emissions.  Pike Research’s analysis indicates that these initiatives are likely to result in a significant reduction in energy-related operating expenses in addition to a dramatic decrease in GHG emissions related to telecom network operations.</p>
<p>This Pike Research report focuses on the direct impact of green technologies and practices as applied to telecommunications networks.  Specifically addressed are the market drivers and business decisions that drive the usage and implementation of green practices across fixed and mobile networks.  In addition, quantitative market forecasts through 2016 are provided to describe the effects of these green technologies and practices on operational and environmental costs.</p>
<h5>Key Questions Addressed:</h5>

Microgrid projects may be grid-tied or remote and are utilized in several key application segments including commercial/industrial, community/utility, institutional/campus, military, and remote installations.</p>
<p>This edition of the Microgrid Deployment Tracker reinforces two major trends that Pike Research has identified in our past analysis.  First, North America continues to be the world’s most promising market for grid-tied microgrid projects, with more than 50 new projects coming to light since the last tracker update.  These projects boosted overall planned capacity in North America to 1,550 MW in 2Q 2012, up 51% from 1,026 MW identified in our 4Q 2011 update.  Second, Pike Research finds that the remote microgrid segment is the best long-term bet in the sector.  As supporting evidence for this conclusion, the region boasting the largest growth in this edition of the tracker was “Rest of World”, with planned capacity in these countries rising from 76 MW to 391 MW.  Many of these projects are in the very early planning stages.</p>
<p>This Pike Research tracker report provides a detailed and comprehensive database of worldwide microgrid projects.  The tracker covers microgrids in five key segments: commercial/industrial, community/utility, institutional/campus, military, and remote systems.  Deployments are segmented by world region, and the tracker includes details on generation capacity, power generation sources, facility type, and companies involved for each project.</p>
<h5>Key Questions Addressed:</h5>
<ul>
	<li>What is the total global capacity for all segments of microgrids today?</li>
	<li>Which of the primary applications – commercial/industrial, community/utility, institutional/campus, military and remote – leads in capacity deployments today?</li>
	<li>Which geography leads the world in total deployments to date?</li>
	<li>Which vendors are involved with which projects, and where?</li>
	<li>What regions of the world are hot spots for remote systems, the leading microgrid segment in terms of sheer numbers of projects and total revenues?</li>

<p>The residential housing industry has long been a pillar of stable economic growth in local, regional, and national markets.  Since the United States housing bubble burst in 2007, the residential construction and real estate markets have floundered in many OECD countries, and some have experienced a full stop in new construction.  Conversely, the markets in China and India are experiencing unprecedented booms in residential construction.  But despite local market conditions, energy efficiency is becoming an increasingly important issue around the world as total residential energy consumption continues to rise, creating greater demands on power infrastructure and contributing to greenhouse gas emissions.</p>
<p>Energy efficient homes, according to Pike Research’s definition, are properties that are built to exceed the 2009 International Energy Conservation Code by 15% on a kilowatt-hour per square foot basis. Construction of residential properties that achieve such energy savings – in both new construction or in existing building stock – is a highly diverse design problem complicated by factors such as local climate, availability of materials, funding, and legislation. In order to achieve this level of energy savings over the 2009 IECC, home builders and retrofitters must adopt a systems approach to home design and construction, integrating all aspects of home operation.</p>
<p>The Pike Research report analyzes the global market opportunity for energy efficient homes, including a focus on key market segments such as building envelope improvements, lighting, HVAC and major appliances, water heating, energy audits, and soft costs associated with energy efficiency.  Market forecasts are provided through 2020 for both new and existing building stock across five world regions.  Details of local, regional, and supranational market drivers and barriers are discussed in depth, and a cross-section of key industry players are profiled, highlighting their product and services offerings.</p>

<p>Smart electric meters have emerged as the most visible technology of the major modernization of the global electricity infrastructure known as the smart grid.  Smart meters and advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), terms often used synonymously, integrate embedded computing and two-way communications to transform meters from simple manual recording instruments into highly intelligent devices serving increasingly broad roles within the electricity infrastructure.  Smart meters have transformed a placid, 140-year old, low-innovation electricity metering market into a high-tech, high-growth juggernaut.  In 2008, less than 4% of the global installed base of 1.5 billion electricity meters could be considered “smart” but 4 years later this penetration will have grown to over 18%, and is forecast to exceed 55% by 2020.</p>
<p>Such ongoing growth continues to offer unprecedented opportunities for a broad spectrum of suppliers.  However, the smart meter market is exceptionally local, with different drivers, regulatory environments, favored technologies, standards, value and supply chains, and especially, market timing.  Most importantly, the smart meter boom is a limited-time opportunity within each region.  As anticipated in earlier Pike Research smart meter forecasts, the North American market has already peaked, and faces dramatic near-term contraction, just as the European market begins a similarly dramatic growth period.  The Asia Pacific region will continue to outpace all other regions driven by major deployments in China, utilizing a different breed of smart meter technology.  The global smart meter market is forecast to experience a modest 4.9% CAGR between 2010 and 2020, but hidden beneath seemingly steady growth are significant regional peaks and valleys, each with their own opportunities and risks.  Suppliers seeking to profit from the unique smart meter upgrade cycle must understand the associated technology, standards, and market dynamics behind this regional diversity.</p>
<p>This Pike Research report examines global and regional smart meter market trends, details neighborhood-area and home-area communications technologies and standards, defines and segments various smart meter capabilities, and provides detailed market sizing and forecasts by technology, utility type, and world region for the period from 2010 through 2020.  Key vendors, standards, and deployments are profiled, offering a comprehensive window into the dynamic market for smart metering.</p>

<p>The market for building information modeling (BIM) software and services is still nascent, but evolving rapidly. The architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry is coming to the realization that its tools and processes are antiquated and inefficient when compared to other global industries such as manufacturing.  BIM software and processes have evolved to allow new ways of collaboration, work sharing, and virtual design capabilities that serve to reduce costs for building owners and add visibility to the overall design and construction process.  With this added visibility and upfront understanding of a project’s detailed characteristics, building owners and operators are realizing that the lifecycle costs of a building can be significantly reduced.</p>
<p>The competitive environment for BIM products is led by a handful of well-established industry players.  Significant spending on research and development by these players facilitates the rapid evolution of new tools and technologies.  AEC industry practitioners are still at the early stages of BIM adoption, but those who have made the transition to BIM tools and processes are realizing a solid return on their investment.  With the recent economic downturn, many firms have been hesitant to change their business structure and strategies and spend the time and resources to transition to BIM.  The learning curve can be relatively steep when this transition is made, but the effort may result in producing higher quality deliverables, extending the service offerings of the business, and increasing return business opportunities.  A host of global organizations are championing the development of interoperability standards and the advancement of BIM on both public and private projects.  The adoption of Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) and other standards such as COBie are greatly enhancing the capabilities of BIM and its inherent collaborative process.</p>
<p>This Pike Research report provides a comprehensive analysis of the global market opportunity for BIM software, training/support services, and project management/collaboration tools.  The study includes detailed assessments of the business drivers that are stimulating adoption of BIM, the challenges faced by the industry, and technology issues in the evolving BIM market.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="/wp-content/themes/pike-next-gen/images/pike_icons/white-altvehic.png" width="68" height="68" alt="" title="Alternative Fuel Vehicles" /><img src="/wp-content/themes/pike-next-gen/images/pike_icons/white-strans.png" width="68" height="68" alt="" title="Smart Transportation" /><br/><p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-36318" title="Electric Two-Wheel Vehicles in Asia Pacific " src="http://www.pikeresearch.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Electric-Two-Wheel-Vehicles-in-Asia-Pacific.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="205" />Sales of internal combustion engine (ICE) scooters are strong in China, India, and most Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries compared to other regions of the world.  Two-wheel vehicles (scooters, motorcycles, and bicycles) are a very popular mode of transport due to their fuel efficiency and ease of use in congested traffic.  As a result, consumers in Asia Pacific markets are heavily adopting traditional two-wheel vehicles.  Largely driven by costs, these vehicles provide a mode of transportation for individuals who may not be able to afford a car yet.  In many places, scooters, motorcycles, and bicycles are designed to carry additional cargo and people and, therefore, are more accommodating to families.</p>
<p>The growth of the total market for these vehicles within Asia Pacific is also leading to strong expansion of the electric two-wheel vehicle industry in the region.  Adoption of e-bicycles, e-motorcycles, and e-scooters will continue to be driven by rapid urbanization trends and the increase in household incomes.  Economic prosperity will result in a greater number of middle and high income level consumers, which will contribute to the growth of the electric two-wheel vehicle market.  Since the total cost of ownership (TCO) of e-motorcycles and e-scooters remains low enough to see payback on the vehicle with a year or two of purchase, Pike Research’s analysis finds that the market for electric two-wheel vehicles is likely to remain strong in regions with high economic growth rates.</p>
<p>This Pike Research report provides an in-depth assessment of current market dynamics and the future growth potential for electric bicycles, scooters, and motorcycles in the Asia Pacific region, along with profiles of the key industry players who are defining these rapidly-evolving markets.  The study examines the market forces that are driving adoption of electric two-wheel vehicles in key countries, including demographic trends, consumer behavior, and government initiatives.  The report also analyzes the technology issues surrounding this sector such as the changing mix of battery chemistries and key trends in battery management systems and electric motors.  Detailed vehicle sales forecasts are provided for each vehicle category through 2018, segmented by country.</p>

Frequency regulation balances the fluctuations between electricity generation and electrical load and manages the variability in the grid’s frequency output and is required to maintain grid balance regardless of whether the electricity market is regulated or deregulated; frequency regulation is relevant to every grid system.  Traditionally, frequency regulation was largely tied to the wholesale energy market. Today, a second key driver has developed – intermittent renewable energy.  Solar PV, wind, and other intermittent resources are causing frequency instabilities on the electrical grid.  In addition, in face of energy security concerns, major economies are mandating changes in energy mixes globally, altering the mix of technologies available to deliver frequency regulation.</p>
<p>New opportunities in the frequency regulation sector are emerging in countries that are liberalizing or deregulating electricity markets. Additional opportunities are developing in fully deregulated markets that are changing market rules to differentiate the quality of frequency regulation delivered by various technologies.  The United States Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has issued Order 755 (commonly referred to as the commission’s Pay for Performance order) with the purpose of making the market more efficient, encouraging high-quality vendors to the market, and reducing the amount of frequency regulation required by the market, all else being equal.</p>
