Report Description
Microgrid Control Systems Market Outlook 2031
The global microgrid control systems market size was valued at around USD 26.60 Billion in 2022 and is expected to reach USD 75.26 Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of around 12.25% during the forecast period, 2023-2031. The growth of the market is attributed to the increasing improvements in control and energy management.
Microgrid refers to a group of electricity users with a local source of supply, which is usually attached to a centralized national grid and function independently. Grid connects houses, businesses, and other buildings to central sources of power. The whole interconnected network affects when a part of the grid needs repair. Microgrids, though they operate while connected to the grid, can operate independently when needed.
Microgrids can be powered by batteries, generators, or renewable energy resources depending upon its requirements. Microgrids aid in strengthening grid resilience, mitigating grid disturbances, and function as a grid resource. Microgrids provide backups for the grid, which allows communities to be energy independent and environmentally friendly.
Microgrid control systems are control and information systems that provide necessary functionality to ensure the generation and distribution of energy at minimal operational costs.
Microgrid Control Systems Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities
