Microgrid Sector: Growth Drivers and Challenges

Growth Drivers

  • Growing Number of Microgrid Projects and Installations- A total of 4470 microgrid projects were installed during the second half of 2019, representing nearly 25GW of planned and installed capacity around the world. Globally, remote microgrids and commercial and industrial microgrids account for roughly 65-70% of all microgrid capacity. Microgrids are becoming increasingly popular as they provide a reliable and resilient source of energy and are more cost-effective when compared to traditional grid systems. The growing demand for renewable energy and the need to reduce carbon emissions are driving the growth of the microgrid market.
  • Increasing Microgrid Installation for A Range of Purposes - For instance, a new microgrid project for electrifying electric vehicles was planned by the Los Angeles Transportation Department in November 2021. A microgrid powered by solar plus storage will serve as the fleet's charging station for electric buses. The power output is expected to be around 7.5 MW. The solar microgrid provides a reliable source of power for these buses, reducing the need for diesel fuel. It also reduces the amount of energy consumed from the electric grid, helping to lower energy costs.
  • Government Initiative to Provide Efficient and Reliable Power Supply - Governments are recognizing the need to provide efficient and reliable power supply, especially in rural and remote areas, and are investing in microgrid systems. For instance, the US government has announced that it will provide more than USD20 million in financial assistance to 17 microgrid projects across the country to better meet the needs of remote and regional communities.
  • Increasing Initiatives for Reducing Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions- Microgrid systems can be used to limit the use of large-scale generators and reduce the amount of GHG emissions. With the launch of TP Renewable Microgrid, Tata Power and The Rockefeller Foundation aim to connect 5 million Indian households and reduce annual carbon emissions by one million tons.
  • Growing Production Of Electricity - In accordance with the International Energy Agency in 2019, the world produced 617 EJ of electricity, an increase of 2% over 2018. As demand for electricity continues to grow, the need for a more reliable and efficient way to generate and distribute power is becoming more important. Microgrids are a cost-effective solution, as they are able to generate and distribute power independently from traditional power grids.

Challenges

  • Challenges related to the integration of microgrids with existing electrical grids- The complexity of the integration of microgrids with existing grids, the cost of the integration process, and the lack of standardization in the microgrid market are all factors that contribute to the difficulty of integrating microgrids. This makes it more difficult for microgrid companies to enter the market, resulting in slower market growth.
  • High installation costs
  • Lack of awareness among end-users

Microgrid Segmentation

Connectivity (Grid Connected, Off-Grid Connected)

The global microgrid market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by connectivity into grid connected, off-grid connected. Out of these, the grid connected segment is estimated to gain the largest market share of about 68% in the year 2037. The growth of the segment can be attributed to the increased use and isntallations of renewable energy sources such as offshore wind. It was observed that offshore wind installations worldwide in 2020 passed 6.1GW, making it the second biggest year since COVID was disrupted. Grid connected microgrids can help to distribute wind energy produced offshore more efficiently and reliably. Additionally, the grid connected microgrids allow for better integration of renewable energy sources, as well as increased resilience against outages and disruptions. Furthermore, grid connected microgrids are able to provide backup power during outages and disruptions, which makes them highly desirable for businesses, governments, and other organizations.

Offering (Hardware, Software & Services)

The global microgrid market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by offering into hardware and software & services Out of these, the hardware segment is estimated to gain the significant market share of about 59% in the year 2037.

Microgrid Industry - Regional Synopsis

North American Market Forecast

The market share of microgrid in North America, amongst the market in all the other regions, is projected to be the largest with a share of about 38% by the end of 2037. The growth of the market can be attributed majorly to the increasing need for reliable and uninterrupted power supply, especially in remote and rural areas, and the increasing popularity of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind energy. Additionally, the government's supportive initiatives and incentives towards the development of smart grids in the region is also driving the regional market growth. It is estimated that approximately 9,000 electric generating units with a combined generating capacity of more than 1 million megawatts connect to more than 600,000 miles of transmission lines through the U.S. electric grid. Moreover, the increasing number of microgrid projects, and the growing emphasis of governments to build a clean future and support the natural resources sectors in the region is projected to drive regional market growth in the coming years.

APAC Market Statistics

The Asia Pacific microgrid market is estimated to be the second largest, registering a share of about 31% by the end of 2037. The growth of the market can be attributed majorly to the rapid electrification of rural areas in several Asian countries, namely India, Malaysia, and the Philippines, and rising development activities to improve the electricity infrastructure. For instance, Maharashtra Energy Development Agency issued a tender for a 29.4 KW microgrid project for Maharashtra, India in 2019. The worth of the project is evaluated to exceed INR 6,140,000 and provide electricity to more than three villages in that region. Further, the high demand for power in rural areas is anticipated to drive the microgrid market in the region. An average of 39 kWh of electricity is consumed by rural households in India each month, according to a survey. Rural areas often lack access to reliable power grids, which makes them prime candidates for microgrid systems. Compared to centralized power grids, microgrids are more dependable, cost-efficient, and enable rural communities to generate and store their own energy.

Europe Market Forecast

Further, the microgrid market in the Europe, amongst the market in all the other regions, is projected to hold a majority of the share by the end of 2037. The increasing focus of the governments of the European countries on the development of smart grids and the rising demand for power from both, the residential and commercial sectors are the primary factors that are fueling growth in the microgrid market in Europe. Also, in November 2021, the United Kingdom earned a microgrid project to serve the people and businesses of Grove Park in Lewisham East, incorporating a 500kW renewable energy system and energy storage system, as well as smart grid management. Additionally, the high rates of energy losses experienced in the traditional power systems are encouraging the adoption of microgrids, as these systems can help reduce the energy losses and provide a more efficient power supply. This, in turn, is further propelling the growth of the microgrid market in Europe.
