• Inclining new installations to augment market demand

The fast increase in the number of systems including renewable energy sources similar as solar and wind can be credited to the request's strong development eventuality. For illustration, Sun Tech Power Effects (China), a solar module manufacturer, intends to increase its investment in solar energy systems to fulfill China's rising energy demand as a result of rapid-fire urbanization. Several Chinese power enterprises, including State Grid Corporation of China, China Three Ravines Corporation, and State Power Investment Corporation, are working on 25 wind turbine contracts totaling about USD 586 billion to induce electricity.

Opportunities:

• Huge prospects for substation automation market due to increasing investments in renewable energy projects to meet growing energy demand

Solar and wind are presently the mainstream options in the power sector, with utmost countries generating further than 20 of their electricity using solar and wind energy sources. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the share of renewable sources in world electricity generation reached 25 in 2019. By 2050, renewable power will be suitable to give the bulk of global power demand, which would be roughly 86. Companies across the world are fastening on investing into sustainable energy structure than that of in fossil energies. According to the IEA’s World Energy Investment 2020report, total investment in renewable energy sources amounted to USD 259 billion and USD 226 billion in 2019 and 2020, independently. The decline in 2020 was important because of the profitable extremity due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic. Countries worldwide are trying to come up with new renewable systems for electricity generation. They're also investing in solar and wind systems to meet the growing demand for electricity and minimize the environmental impacts, along with investments in generating power using non-renewable sources at the same time.

Restrictions/ challenges:

• High initial installation cost of IEDs in substations

The original phase of automating the substation is capital-ferocious, which may restrain the growth of the global substation automation request. The adding use of advanced technologies analogous as microprocessor and service- acquainted architecture (SOA) and the rising demand to bed several IEDs in substations have increased the purchase costs of these substations. Also, an effective deployment of smart substations requires strong collaboration across customary organizational boundaries, significant process change, and rigorous governance. High investments for fruitful deployment of smart substations could add to the governments’ profitable burden. High functional and conservation costs after the deployment are also a big concern for avail providers.
