[199 Pages Report] The Microgrid Market size was estimated at USD 35.24 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 37.90 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 8.30% to reach USD 61.60 billion by 2030.
The microgrid represents a group of distributed energy resources and a mesh of interconnected loads acting as a separate controllable unit of the main power grid. Microgrid offers resilience to overcome grid disturbances and power outages, improving customer reliability on power systems. The rising demand for renewable energy and stable global power supply raise the utilization of microgrid solutions. Cyber attacks on electricity infrastructure have created an increasing need for microgrid solutions to independently operate power grids in disaster situations. However, concerns regarding the high installation costs of microgrids may limit their adoption in the current market scenario. The market is expected to face challenges due to technological concerns encountered during the service of island-style microgrids. However, increasing R&D investments by the public and private sectors for developing advanced electrical infrastructure fuels the adoption of microgrid solutions. In addition, Government initiatives to encourage the development of microgrids aid in expanding renewable energy capacity in developing countries.
Power: Emerging potential of solar photovoltaic in microgrids
Combined heat and power (CHP) is used for implementing microgrids, owing to its ability to lower energy costs and improve overall system reliability. Diesel generators are conventional power sources integrated with microgrids, known for their quick-start capabilities in existing power infrastructure. Fuel cells generate electricity through electrochemical processes between hydrogen and oxygen, resulting in virtually zero emissions. Fuel cell technology offers significant potential for microgrid applications as it provides continuous power output with minimal maintenance requirements. Natural gas-powered turbines or engines can offer efficient and relatively low-emission alternatives in microgrids compared to diesel generators. Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are increasingly popular for implementing microgrids as they enable reliable daytime energy generation while contributing to energy resilience that assists in withstanding grid disruptions or extreme weather conditions.
Product: Burgeoning popularity of hybrid microgrids
Grid-connected microgrids are connected to the main electrical grid infrastructure and can operate in parallel with it to enhance overall system resilience. Hybrid microgrids combine multiple generation sources, such as solar photovoltaic, wind turbines, battery storage systems, and conventional generators, such as diesel and gas turbines. This diversification in energy sources ensures improved energy reliability and reduced dependence on a single source of power generation. Remote microgrids cater to isolated communities or off-grid areas where traditional electrical infrastructure is either unavailable or difficult to reach due to geographical constraints, including remote islands or mountainous regions. In addition, remote microgrids also significantly promote energy access and support socio-economic development in rural and remote areas worldwide.
Application: Penetration of microgrids in the utility sector
Microgrid systems are deployed to generate, store, and supply electricity in a commercial building application to operate backup generators and emergency power systems. Mobile microgrids have a wide scope of applications in the defense sector as a properly configured microgrid provides critical resiliency to military installations, ensuring energy security for operating bases and mission readiness when local power is disrupted across the region. Colleges and universities use microgrid technology to offer uninterrupted, affordable power to serve the campus and larger community in a power outage. The government provides services and emergency shelters to supply electricity using microgrids for several emergencies that seamlessly serve critical situations. Microgrids can provide utilities with a lower-cost alternative to meeting peak demand requirements and other chain of supply issues.
