International market reports
Within the area of International market reports, trend:research markets trend- and market research studies in English. The international orientated trend:research product portfolio has been expanded by acquisition of the market- and trend research company EnergyCrack (www.energycrack.com) with further studies addressing issues of the European and American market.
European electricity distribution grids have been the focus of previous EnergyCrack Studies. The commencement is formed by a Europe-wide inventory of structural data of several national distribution grids (grid topology, assets, investment, system usage fee, grid revenues). Additional studies describe the challenges for European distribution grid operators, arising currently from an increasingly intelligent, adaptable infrastructure ("Smart Grids"), the proactive, market-oriented mains operation management, the integration of decentralized production facilities as well as the active load control ("Demand Side Management").
In the area International market reports, trend- and market research studies are marketed freely as so-called Multi client studies without a specific purchaser in mind. Depending on study approach the surveys provide a theoretical base and practical advice as well as market data and competitor profiles on varying focus points. They address requirements and experiences as well as trends, opportunities and risks.
The surveys provide essential knowledge about new topics and tasks and therefore enable to review previous internal strategies and implementations as well as to make important success oriented decisions.
