[151 Pages Report] The overall microgrid controller market is expected to grow from USD 6.1 billion in 2019 to USD 12.6 billion by 2024, at a CAGR of 15.65% from 2019 to 2024. The growth of this market is being fueled by the rising demand for microgrids and increasing shift toward usage of renewable energy sources and reducing carbon footprint.
The microgrid controller system market by offering includes hardware, software, and services. The market for the software segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This growth is due to its crucial role in monitoring, prediction, managing, and optimization of energy supply and demand for a microgrid network.
Microgrid controllers operate in 2 modes: isolated or grid connected. Isolated microgrids are designed to operate independently, without connection with the main grid. Grid connected microgrids have higher reliability than isolated microgrids as these are connected to main utility grids. Thus, grid connected microgrids are expected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period.
The defense sector has been the major adopter of microgrid technology that allows buildings or bases to stay functioning on its own power when the grid goes down. From big players such as General Electric (US), Lockheed Martin (US), Boeing (US), and Honeywell (US) to small specialty technology firms such as Spirae (US) and Power Analytics (US) cater microgrid solutions to this vertical.
The Americas is expected to account for the largest share of the microgrid controller market owing to the presence of key players such as GE Power (US), SEL (US), Lockheed Martin (US), Honeywell (US), S&C Electric (US), Power Analytics (US), Emerson (US), Princeton Power Systems (US), SPIRAE (US), Homer Energy (US), and Pareto Energy (US) in the region.
Major vendors in the global microgrid controller market are Schneider Electric (France), General Electric (US), ABB (Switzerland), Siemens (Germany), Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (US), Eaton Corporation (Ireland), Honeywell International (US), Lockheed Martin (US), S&C Electric (US), and Power Analytics (US).
