Incorporation of technology aided systems including monitoring hardware & software and PLC networks across substations to enhance the overall functionality has witnessed significant impetus in the current scenario. However, substantial number of automation systems has been installed across conventional substations with an aim to upscale & curb excessive cost incursions across new substation installation.
Emerging nations favored by appreciable economic growth have witnessed upsurge in the deployment of new substations. Moreover, incorporation of energy efficient electrical systems including transformers, busbar and other protection devices along with technologically advanced human machine interface will impel the overall industry potential.
Incorporation of renewable energy sources across the grid network will complement the business scenario
Integration of sustainable energy networks supported by regulatory schemes including net-metering, feed in tariffs, and similar incentivization will complement the business scenario. In addition, incorporation of grid connected renewable networks along with decentralized micro-grid infrastructure have led to the demand for technologically effective circuitry components to sustain varying frequency network integration.
Furthermore, renewable networks pose frequency volatility and varying wavelengths requiring effective circuit monitoring and control units which will drive the digital substation market outlook.
Ongoing investments toward the grid development along with repair and maintenance of electrical infrastructure will propel the digital substation industry trends
Rising investments toward the upgradation of the conventional transmission lines coupled with smart energy infrastructure establishment have infused a favorable business growth. For instance, in April 2020, Ukraine’s National Energy & Utilities Regulatory Commission (NEURC) announced to invest an amount worth USD 240 Million toward grid development by the end of the year.
In addition, continuous operations across power industry in COVID-19 pandemic in line with maintenance and repair of electrical infrastructure for stable operation of the grid will drive the product demand.
Increasing demand for advanced and upgraded control systems across the power distribution network will propel the business scenario
Low voltage based digital substation market is anticipated to exceed USD 1.5 billion by 2026. In addition, wide applicability of these systems across power and infrastructure sectors as well as process industries will drive the product demand. Growing demand for smart control systems in line with favorable power distribution reforms will further stimulate the business growth. Ongoing deployment of low voltage power distribution networks across the commercial and residential sectors have positively stimulated the product demand.
Rising energy demand as well as growing customer inclination toward sustainable electricity distribution network will fuel the market growth
Digital substation market has been influenced by various regulatory guidelines and mandates, which have laid various standards pertaining to the deployment and manufacturing of the product across the globe. In the recent years standalone areas have been a focal point for installers & regulators as these systems hold a significant potential for business expansion and industrial growth. In addition, the rising energy demand favored by ongoing consumer inclination to integrate a sustainable power infrastructure will complement the industry landscape.
Favorable regulatory norms toward integration and electrification of micro-grid power networks will fuel the product demand
Stringent regulatory and government directives toward utility aided grid networks pertaining to electric infrastructure deployment will complement the digital substation market demand. Favorable government regulations toward electrification and integration of micro-grid power networks across grid isolated zones have propelled the product demand.
In addition, integration of sustainable energy infrastructure across developing economies along with flow of funds from government and private authorities and institutions including IFC, world bank and similar organizations across upcoming regions will positively sway the industry dynamics.
Ongoing technological advancements toward replacement of conventional electrical equipment will drive the product adoption
