[130 Pages Report] The global electrical digital twin market is projected to reach USD 1,642 million by 2024 from an estimated USD 804 million in 2019, at a CAGR of 15.4% during the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to factors such as improved accuracy and efficiency in power sector operations, streamlined integration of renewable energy technologies, and reduced unplanned downtime and maintenance cost.
The report segments the market by twin type, into digital gas & steam power plant, digital wind farm, digital grid, digital hydropower plant, and distributed energy resources. The gas & steam power plant segment is expected to hold the largest market share by 2024, as it is the most critical component for power utilities. Power utilities use electrical digital twin to map physical assets to a digital platform, which helps the plant operator to analyze the real-time data collected over a period of time to avoid unplanned systems’ shutdown.
The electrical digital twin market, by end-user, is segmented into utilities and grid infrastructure operators. The utilities segment is expected to be the largest market during the forecast period. Electrical digital twins installed across power utilities help in continuous monitoring of asset health, increase grid reliability, and help in maintenance optimization. This is possible as electrical digital twin provides a holistic view of the power plant by helping the grid operators to take better operational decisions to raise the overall productivity of the power plant at a lower production cost with smart forecasting models.
In this report, the market has been analyzed with respect to 4 regions, namely, North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the World. North America is estimated to be the largest market from 2019 to 2024. The North American digital twin market has been further segmented into the US, Canada, and Mexico. The US dominated the North American electrical digital twin market with a strong presence of electrical digital twin manufacturers, software developers, and technology providers that play a vital role in the creation of digital twins. The major players have started offering products and solutions that help create the digital twins, which form a core part of the digital transformation of power utilities. For instance, in February 2019, Siemens collaborated with Bentley to launch digital twin for distributed energy resources. It is designed to help utilities unlock previously untapped efficiencies in distributed generation, particularly with regards to accommodating an increasing amount of renewables into the grid. These digital twins provide real-time updated and customized information that enables the Siemens businesses and customers to make timely decisions and interventions for continued profitability and maximized performance at a low cost.
The major players in the global electrical digital twin market are Siemens (Germany), GE (US), ABB (Switzerland), Emerson (US), and AVEVA (UK).
Siemens (Germany) is a German industrial conglomerate with core activities in the fields of electrification, automation, and digitalization. The company focuses on investments in the future mobility landscape together with other partners in areas such as sensor technologies, connectivity/IoT solutions, software for intermodal transport, Digital Twin/BIM, AI, and additive manufacturing. It focuses mainly on maintaining or enhancing its production facilities and on meeting project demands.
