Market Definition

A local distribution grid, commonly referred to as a "Micro grid," can minimize its overall energy costs by integrating and optimizing energy resources with the help of the Micro grid Control System (MCS). To optimize the performance of a local microgrid and lower total cost of ownership, the MCS is a straightforward but efficient way to combine DERs (Distributed Energy Resources) based on fossil fuels and DERs based on renewable energy, and energy storage.

Report Scope and Market Segmentation

Microgrid Control System Market Dynamics

This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail as below:

Drivers

• Increasing Cases of Power Blackouts

Power outages and blackouts are very common in developing and underdeveloped nations. For instance, India experiences a daily power outage of roughly 30,000 MW. When compared to traditional backup techniques, microgrids offer more effective backup solutions. Microgrids can function independently from the main grid and offer backup power for longer periods. The market for microgrid control systems is expected to grow as enterprises and consumers adopt microgrid backup solutions more frequently.  Consequently, these beneficial properties ultimately drives the demand for microgrid control system, thus accelerating the market growth.

• Growth of Private Microgrid Control System

Private microgrid control systems can function in an islanded mode in addition to being typically grid-connected. The shareholders or investors are the proprietors of private utilities. Certain utility commissioners oversee these types of utilities. These private utilities can run their own generation facilities or buy electricity through contracts. Many commercial companies have set up power microgrid control systems to meet the domestic electricity demand thanks to rising primary energy consumption and government financial incentives. This expansion is then further linked to increased electrification project investments, which heavily utilize the microgrid technology.

Furthermore the incorporation of renewable energy sources and rise in the energy demand and limitations of space availability in densely populated urban areas will drive industry growth. Moreover, factors such as the development of a robust commercial and industrial sector base also accelerate market growth.

Opportunities

• Various Developments and Advancements

Furthermore, various developments coupled with introduction of advanced technologies by the market players further extend profitable opportunities to the market players in the forecast period of 2022 to 2029. This factor therefore offers lucrative growth opportunities for the market.

• Favourable Government Policies

A number of government policies largely supports the greener energy programs. As a result, the market is presented with a number of chances due to the increase in various government policies as well as the legislation linked to greener energy initiatives and reduction in carbon footprint.

Restraints/Challenges

• High Capital Costs

The microgrid control system's huge installation and maintenance cost further contributes to the overall capital cost. This factor further prevents the implementation of the system even after various advantages. Therefore the global market is hampered by high costs of the microgrid control system.

• Security Complexities

The various cyber security issues faced by the consumers further decreases the system's adoption rate. Therefore, this factor will further pose as a serious challenge to the growth of the microgrid control system market.

COVID-19 Impact on Microgrid Control System Market

The majority of the market's manufacturing, developing, production, and logistical divisions have had a very difficult time as a result of the coronavirus epidemic. People's ability to leave their houses has been restricted as a result of the policy of social isolation and lockdowns. But this pandemic has also given some sectors a chance to expand. Like how some businesses are absolutely unaffected by this pandemic. As a result, certain industries will see a decline in demand and growth, while others will see an increase in growth and indicate promising growth opportunities.

The coronavirus had a significant impact on the microgrid control system market. The market for micro-control grid systems has seen growing demand as a result of the rising demand for power. As a result, there is a greater need for micro-grid backup options because more people are working from home and require a steady and uninterrupted supply of electricity. However, these pandemic constraints have reduced the use of such systems and their backups in sectors like manufacturing, aviation, transportation, etc. However, there is a glimmer of hope that the market for microgrid control systems would boom once this restriction is eliminated.

Recent Development

• In May 2021, Ameresco, Inc., a top integrator of clean technologies with a focus on renewable and energy-efficient technologies, revealed plans for the imminent groundbreaking of its electrical distribution microgrid at Fort Hunter Liggett. The $21.6 million project will include the design and installation of a secure, islandable, and autonomous microgrid with controls and interconnection for new and existing generation and storage systems at the 165,000-acre U.S. Army Reserve training facility. This will support USAG Fort Hunter Liggett's goals to achieve Net Zero Energy and meet U.S. Army Directives to achieve Critical Mission Resiliency.
