The growing demand for low-cost substation automation solutions in solar industry, rising integration of functions with digital technology to enhance grid efficiency in smart cities, growing need for retrofitting conventional substations, development in the substation automation standard IEC 61850 to allow interoperability among intelligent electronic devices, and increasing adoption of fiber optics cables are the major factors that driving the growth of global substation automation market. The power generation companies are focussing on low-cost substation solution; therefore, they are replacing their conventional substation by digital substations that further boost the growth of the market. However, high wireless sensor network installation costs and embedded leds in substation rise equipment purchasing costs are restraining the growth of the market.
Substation automation refers to using data from intelligent electronic devices (IED), control and automation abilities within the substation, and control commands from remote users to control power-system devices. Substation automation is using in over-current protection and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA). The principal standard for the substation automation is with the invoking of IEC 61850. The substation automation uses across industries such as utility, steel, oil & gas, transportation, and mining.
Based on the module, the communication segment is expected to grow at a higher rate during the forecast period owing to the rising demand for reducing solar projects cost, which are widely used in distribution substations. Wireless networks eliminate trenching costs associated with wired communications and shorten deployment timelines and make them more predictable are further fuelling the growth of the market.
Based on the type, the distribution substation segment is projected to grow in the global substation automation market over the forecast period owing to rising demand for electricity, which increase the need for replacing of aging infrastructure for power delivery systems station. The existing infrastructures are not capable of sustaining heavy power transmission or inferior standards, which increases the outages chances. Therefore, companies are investing in upgrading the infrastructure of substation transmission.
Based on the installation type, the retrofit installations segment is projected to grow in the market over the forecast period owing to the growing demand to upgrade conventional substations to enhance operational efficiency at a global level.
Based on the industry, the utility segment is expected to grow in the market during the forecast period due to the high demand-supply gap in energy across utilities sector. Substation automation is widely used in generating, transmitting, and distribution of power in the utility industry, which fuels the growth of the market in the coming years. Moreover, the growing modernization of grids, along with the installation of smart grids, is further boosting the growth of the market.
Based on the region, the Asia-pacific region is projected to grow at a significant rate in the substation automation market over the forecast period owing to the increasing government initiatives in emerging economies such as India and China to improve its power and energy sector. India is targeted to install 175 GW of renewable energy capacity by the year 2022, various schemes organized to stimulate distribution in utilities, and village electrification programs, among others are some of the initiatives taken up by the Government of India. Moreover, growing investment to boost the manufacturing activities across the developing countries across the globe is positively impacting the industry growth in the Asia-pacific.
