DC Vacuum Insulated Switchgear Market Trends

DC Vacuum Insulated Switchgear Market Trends

The adoption of renewable sources of energy, such as solar and wind, has aided in the development of DC vacuum insulated switchgear. These components are dramatically used in high voltage direct current (HVDC) systems for long distance electricity transmission with minimum losses. Countries in Europe and the Asia pacific with strong renewable energy targets are now using these switchgears to add to their grid stability and operations.
 

These systems provide inbuilt advantages over the traditional air insulated systems as they are lightweight and compact which is very appealing to metropolitan areas where space is limited. Their extreme high reliability and performance has made these systems popular among industries and utilities where downtime is very expensive.
 

Developments such as the IoT have made integrating arc quenching technologies, active monitoring, and enhanced lifecycle components very easy. These inventions combine high performance with low maintenance costs. Enhanced vacuum switch gears are more reliable and absolutely vital to data centers. Their lower maintenance costs and higher adoption rates make them more appealing. Similarly, this method is being put to use in industries such as mining and railroad, where their high voltage direct current needs to be satisfied.
