Digital substations as an alternative to conventional substations to affect the expansion of the market worldwide
Although the conventional substations can bridge the demand for electricity, they are very costly and inefficient. Digital substations on the other hand are much more efficient. Considerable cost is saved on digital substations as there is less copper wiring used. Fiber optic is used in digital substations which work on 61850 protocol that enables communication to other assets as well. These digital substations have a higher penetration in developed economies as compared to developing economies.
Digital substations are significantly more adopted in utilities sector around the globe
Based on module, the market is segmented into hardware, fiber optic communication network, and SCADA (Supervisory control and data acquisition). Hardware segment in 2026 is expected to hold about three fifths of the total market and expand at a rapid rate throughout the forecast period. Digital substations not only improve efficiency, but also reduce maintenance costs due to comparatively less copper wiring and connections than conventional substations. In terms of type, the market is segmented into transmission substations and distribution substations. On the basis of voltage, the market is classified into Up to 220 kV, 220-550 kV, and Above 500 kV. Primarily driven by the demand from urban regions, the up to 220 kV segment held the major share of revenue in 2017. On the other hand, the 220-550 kV segment is anticipated to expand at a rapid pace owing to the increasing demand from manufacturing units around the world. Based on industry, the market is segmented into utilities, metal, mining, oil & gas, and transportation. In 2017, utilities held the major share of the total market due to their widespread use in utilities.
