The electrical industry is constantly evolving and adapting to new technologies and trends. In 2023, there are a number of trends that are expected to shape the industry in the years to come. At A-1 Electric, we believe that staying at the forefront of emerging technologies enables us to do our jobs efficiently and effectively. By incorporating these new trends into our commercial and residential work, we hope to provide our clients with the best services possible.
From renewable energy sources to smart buildings, here are some of the top trends to watch out for in the electrical industry this year.
Increase in Demand for Smart Buildings
Smart buildings are becoming increasingly popular as they offer more efficient energy use and improved safety features. Smart buildings allow for automated control of lighting, temperature, security systems, and other building functions. This technology can help reduce energy costs and improve overall building performance. Additionally, through the use of more energy-efficient systems, residential and commercial building owners can significantly reduce their carbon footprint.
High-Tech PPE
Personal protective equipment (PPE) is essential for electricians working on high-voltage projects. In 2023, we will see an increase in demand for high-tech PPE such as insulated gloves, flame-retardant clothing, face shields, and other safety gear. This will help ensure that electricians stay safe while working on potentially hazardous projects.
Microgrids
Microgrids are small-scale power grids that can be used to generate electricity from renewable sources such as solar or wind power. They provide a dependable source of electricity without relying on large centralized power plants. Microgrids also offer greater flexibility when it comes to managing energy supply and demand since they can be easily adjusted according to changing needs. Microgrids are also a great way to avoid power disruptions when issues arise with main power distribution methods.
Drones
Drones have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their ability to capture aerial footage with ease. In 2023, drones will be used more frequently in the electrical industry as they can be used to inspect hard-to-reach areas such as rooftops or tall structures without putting workers at risk of injury or death. Drones can also be used to survey land before construction begins or monitor progress during a project’s duration.
Energy Storage
Energy storage solutions such as batteries are becoming increasingly popular in the electrical industry due to their ability to store excess energy generated by renewable sources such as solar panels or wind turbines. This helps reduce reliance on traditional fossil fuels while providing a reliable source of energy even during peak times when demand is highest.
There have been a number of significant advances when it comes to batteries in recent years. These advancements have made batteries more reliable, increased their capacity, and made them a superior choice for those wanting an emergency supply of power.
