Global Microgrid Controller Market – Overview
Microgrid Control System (MCS) enables distribution grid operators to incorporate and manage energy resources to decrease a local distribution grid's overall energy cost. It is a miniature of the larger energy network but at a distributed level. MCS assures a consistent electricity supply without the risk of a blackout. It distributes the load and assists in maintaining the main grid. The integration of various DERs (Distributed Energy Resources) into the power grid accelerated the development of microgrids, and as a result, the system has experienced a wave of technological growth after the massive deployment of distributed energy resources into power systems.
Opportunity: Growing investments in T&D facilities
Global microgrid controller market is expected to gain from the increasing investments in transmission and distribution (T&D) facilities. The market benefits from increasing energy demand and the necessity for reliable power supply. In addition, companies account for 23% of global carbon emissions, they are migrating to microgrids because of their high efficiency and low carbon output to minimize their carbon footprints. Another driver of market expansion could be the necessity for consistent supply, particularly in remote places, which will boost reliance on microgrid control systems in the coming years.
Global Microgrid Controller Market – By Region
Geographically, global microgrid controller market has North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East and Africa region. The Asia-Pacific region is expected to hold the highest share due to surging demand for electricity is growing faster than the capacity of existing electrical networks. The development of traditional energy grids, major investment in electrification projects, and optimization and upgrading of existing electrical networks are predicted to propel Asia Pacific growth. In addition, growing rural electrification programs in developing countries such as Bangladesh and India have aided the expansion of the region's microgrid controller industry. North America is expected to be the second largest region during the forecast period.
Impact of COVID-19 on Global Microgrid Controller Market
