Key Takeaways

  • Microgrids are crucial for maintaining a reliable supply of power in diverse industries.
  • Growing integration of renewable power sources to achieve sustainability goals is a key factor shaping the market trends.
  • Fuel cells are used in microgrids that prioritise low emissions and sustainability, especially in urban or environmentally sensitive areas.

 

A microgrid refers to a separate energy network composed of interconnected charges and distributed energy supplies that can operate alongside or independently of the main power grid. Microgrids are commonly known to be smaller versions of power grids, which provide electricity to customers from producers, help reduce overall costs in the case of an emergency and provide redundancy for the grid. They are more powerful, together with a range of other renewable sources like solar, wind, small hydroelectric power, geoelectric, waste energy systems, and heat and power combined (HPCP) systems than conventional electrical grids. Microgrids are a reliable energy source because they continue to work during power outages.

The increasing demand for microgrid systems which allow customers and developers to achieve environmental goals by using renewable energy as a source of electricity is one of the crucial factors driving the microgrid market growth. Governments of many countries are also taking steps to set up bioelectric power, solar, and wind farms. Others have legislation, such as the Clean Power Plan (CPP), which seeks to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, enforced by countries such as the United States. A variety of technological advancements have also been made to increase the performance of battery inverters to ensure an uninterrupted power supply via microgrids. In addition, better battery technology with higher power inputs and outputs has also been developed for a longer time.

 

These days, the reliance on new communication technology like wireless cloud computing is growing, making electricity networks vulnerable to cyber-attacks and hackers. For this purpose, a stable network with 24/7 power is required in certain industries, such as military and research laboratories, which are given by microgrids, as they can be run in 'island mode' independently from all external power and data transfer. This is expected to support the growth of the microgrid market globally.

 

The ability to deliver improved performance against low transmission losses is another factor boosting the demand as microgrids produce local power and decrease reliance on long-haul lines and therefore reduce transmission losses.

 

Key Trends and Developments

Integration of renewable energy sources; growing advancements in energy storage solutions; rapid digitalisation and adoption of smart technologies; and regulatory and policy support are the major trends impacting the microgrid market expansion

 

Date Company/Group Details
Sep 2023 Correlate Energy Corp. Correlate Energy Corp., an innovative company specialising in distributed energy, unveiled a major microgrid project poised to revolutionise the energy framework in the region surrounding the Los Angeles metropolitan area.

Feb 2024 A Toshiba and Aquatera led consortium (including other members like Eco Wave Power, Hitachi Energy, and teams and researchers from various universities) A group led by Toshiba and Aquatera secured $1.9 million in funding from the UK government to develop a pilot microgrid project, which will utilise wave energy to power a remote island in Thailand.

 

 

Trends Impact
Increased integration of renewable energy sources Microgrids are incorporating renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and hydroelectric power due to the global push for sustainability.
Growing advancements in energy storage solutions The development and integration of advanced energy storage technologies, such as lithium-ion batteries and flow batteries, are crucial for stabilising renewable energy supply within microgrids.
Rapid digitalisation and adoption of smart technologies in the microgrid market The integration of digital technologies, including the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and blockchain, into microgrid systems is on the rise.
Regulatory and policy support by the government Governments and regulatory bodies worldwide are implementing policies and incentives to promote the adoption of microgrids and renewable energy.

 

Microgrid Market Trends

The increasing incorporation of renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and hydroelectric power into microgrids is a response to a global push for sustainability. Renewable energy sources produce electricity with minimal to no greenhouse gas emissions, significantly reducing the environmental impact compared to fossil fuel-based power generation. By using locally available renewable resources, microgrids enhance energy independence and security and contribute to microgrid market development. This is particularly valuable for remote or isolated communities with limited access to the central grid or regions that rely heavily on imported fuels.

 

In February 2024, Toshiba and Aquatera announced that they are developing a pilot microgrid project, leading a consortium. The consortium has secured USD 1.9 million investment from the UK government, showcasing a significant commitment to support renewable energy projects and international cooperation in sustainable development. The project aims to design and implement a microgrid system on a remote island in Thailand which will integrate wave energy as its primary source, highlighting an innovative approach to utilising renewable resources.

Market Segmentation

“Microgrid Market Report and Forecast 2024-2032” offers a detailed analysis of the market based on the following segments:

 

Market Breakup Categories
Energy Source Natural Gas, Combined Heat and Power, Solar Photovoltaic (PV), Diesel, Fuel Cell, Others
Application Remote Systems, Institution and Campus, Utility/Community, Defence, Others
Region North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, Middle East and Africa

 

Solar photovoltaic accounts for a significant microgrid market share due to the rising demand for renewable energy sources

Solar photovoltaic (PV) holds a significant share of the microgrid market due to its decreasing cost, scalability, and global push for renewable energy sources. It is favoured for its relatively easy installation in both rural and urban settings and its low operating costs. Solar PV's popularity is also driven by its environmental benefits, contributing to its high market share.

 

Diesel generators are commonly used in microgrids as backup power sources as they can quickly start up. They are common especially in remote or off-grid locations due to their reliability and the high energy density of diesel fuel as they are often used for backup or emergency power in microgrids.

 

Meanwhile, natural gas is also expected to grow at a sizeable rate, especially for Combined Heat and Power (CHP) systems. Natural gas can provide baseline power to a microgrid and adjust output to follow daily and seasonal load variations. Natural gas CHP systems are efficient, as they can provide both electricity and heat from a single fuel source. This efficiency, combined with the relatively lower emissions of natural gas compared to coal and diesel, makes it a popular choice for microgrids, particularly in urban or industrial settings.

 

The utility/community segment maintains its dominance in the market due to the rising demand for sustainable energy sources in these sectors

The microgrid market is supported by its growing applications in the utility/community segment as microgrids can integrate renewable energy sources, provide grid services, and enhance resilience against grid outages. The push for decarbonisation and energy independence in urban and suburban areas further boosts the adoption of utility/community microgrids.

 

Institutional and campus microgrids are typically the second-largest segment. These microgrids serve universities, hospitals, corporate campuses, and other large institutions. They are favoured for their ability to provide reliable, efficient, and green energy solutions that can operate independently from the main grid.

 

Competitive Landscape
