Market Dynamics:
Drivers: Growing need for reliable, uninterrupted power supply
For over a century, massive grids were built that connected power plants to homes and businesses through wires that traversed thousands of miles. Electricity generated by large, remote power plants, which are connected to centralized power grids and use fossil fuels, is transmitted across different regions and countries. However, the shortcomings of these power plants in terms of inefficient power transmission have become increasingly evident. Conventional grids are largely dependent on fossil fuels for electricity generation, leading to pollution and global warming. These grids are also vulnerable to natural calamities that usually result in network malfunctioning or blackouts. For instance, Hurricane Sandy in the US and Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines resulted in mass blackouts in major areas, such as New York and the islands of Leyte. For several days after the calamities, these areas lost access to electricity, leading to the growing demand for self-power generating plants or microgrids. Due to hurricanes, heat waves, windstorms, wildfires, and other extreme weather events in 2020, electric utility customers in the US spent significantly more time in the dark. In 2020, utility customers experienced 1.33 billion outages, an increase of 73% over roughly 770 million in 2019, according to PowerOutage US.
Restraints: Dynamic government policies, regulations, and standards worldwide
Microgrid technology, being relatively new, is still too dynamic and volatile for regulatory frameworks. For instance, regulations and policies overseeing the integration of microgrids into the wider grid are still under development. The current framework structure poses some barriers to the acceptance of microgrids. For example, IEEE Standard 1547 requires grid-connected power inverters to shut down on detecting grid faults. This standard is driving R&D on static switches that can disconnect and reconnect in sub-cycle times. Research into standards for the operation of microgrids is being conducted, and a new generation of energy management systems is being designed to meet the challenges, especially the requirements of IEC 61970. Under these circumstances, designing a microgrid controller that can comply with different standards is challenging for manufacturers.
Opportunities: Modernization of aging grid infrastructure
The current energy demand requires an infrastructure that is more robust, resilient, and reliable in achieving high performance and causes fewer outages over a long period. Microgrids will give a huge advantage to the current need for electricity, being a resilient and reliable solution to the old-aged electricity infrastructure. These will present opportunities to the microgrid controller market. Over the next decade, China plans to invest USD 6 trillion in infrastructure as part of its urbanization development plan. These factors will provide huge opportunities for microgrid control system providers like ABB (Switzerland), Schneider Electric (France), and Siemens (Germany).
Challenges: Interoperability and compatibility issues due to large number of components/devices
Microgrids comprise several hardware and software components, making it complex to plan and handle for efficient operations. These devices may come from different vendors, creating compatibility and interoperability issues. Interoperability is a critical parameter as it allows technologies from different vendors to plug and play and interact on a common network. Having a common standard/protocol is important to support automated resource coordination.
Microgrid configuration consists of the interface of devices, systems, and persons between the microgrid and electric power system (EPS) across the point of common coupling (PCC), where interoperability is required for data exchange. Thus, interoperability requirements are more extensive when microgrid functions are considered as connected to and operated as part of the EPS rather than as an island. Furthermore, while adding new components in a microgrid, operational methodologies and protocols, appropriate secure communications, and standards and codes that specify operational requirements, and protocols and safety need to be developed and updated on time as testing is necessary to validate the viability, functionality, consistency, reliability, compatibility, and interoperability of utility grids with other microgrid systems. A microgrid control system needs to match up with all these additions in the microgrids from time to time.
Microgrid Controller Market Ecosystem
Grid-connected microgrids likely to dominate the market during the forecast period
Grid-connected microgrids will lead the microgrid controller industry during the forecast period. Grid-connected microgrids consist of multiple generators, distribution systems, and sophisticated controls. These technologies not only improve grid resiliency, improve power quality, and reduce their environmental impact, but also have a number of other advantages, resulting in increased demand. The expansion of utility-based grid networks globally, as well as the large-scale exploitation of renewable energy sources, like offshore wind, are driving the growth of this segment.
Hardware segment to account for largest market share of microgrid controller market during the forecasting period
The key drivers for the growth of the market for the hardware segment include the growing number of microgrid projects worldwide, decreasing costs of energy storage and renewable sources of energy, and increasing government initiatives to promote the use of clean energy and minimize greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Microgrids generate electricity from different energy sources such as renewable energy sources (solar, wind, photovoltaic (PV) cells, etc.) and non-renewable energy sources (fuel cells, diesel generators, combined heat and power (CHP) and micro-CHP, microturbines, etc.).
The remote areas end-use application is expected to account the largest share of the microgrid controller market in 2022
Based on end-use application, the market has been segmented into utilities, commercial & industrial, institutes & campuses, remote areas, military, governments, and healthcare. Key factors driving the demand for microgrids for rural electrification are the growing government support and the surge in the deployment of microgrid projects in remote areas. According to the International Energy Association, ~1 billion people in remote areas worldwide face electricity scarcity due to the high costs of fossil fuels used for electricity generation and challenges in terms of electricity transmission to remote areas. This has led governments of different countries to increase their investments in electricity infrastructures to provide efficient, low-cost, and clean electricity to end users. This, in turn, has led to an increased demand for microgrids from remote areas.
Asia Pacific is likely to be the fastest growing market during the forecast period between 2022 and 2027.
To know about the assumptions considered for the study, download the pdf brochure
The Asia Pacific accounted for the second largest share in the microgrid controller market in 2021 and is expected to be the fastest growing market during the forecast period. The market's growth in Asia Pacific can be attributed to the high rate of rural electrification in several economies such as India, Malaysia, and the Philippines. A large number of unelectrified islands in Indonesia and the Philippines and the lack of proper electricity infrastructure in emerging economies have led to the demand for cost-effective microgrids in the region. This is expected to contribute to the growth of the market in Asia Pacific during the forecast period.
