Global Microgrids Technology Markets Report 2022: Mergers & Acquisitions, Joint Ventures, Collaborations/Partnerships, Key Market Strategies and Relevant Patent Analysis

DUBLIN, April 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Microgrids: Technologies and Global Markets" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Regional and country level markets will be segmented and analyzed by type and application. The report also covers the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The market sizes and estimations are provided in terms of revenue, with 2020 serving as the base year; and market forecasts will be given for the period from 2021 to 2026.

Microgrids are a critical and fundamental component of the development of smart grids. It is a distributed energy resource-based small-scale power system. To fully utilize the distributed generation potential, it is critical to adopt a system in which the associated loads and generation are treated as a subsystem or microgrid.

Distributed renewable energy microgrid technology holds significant potential as a key driver for increasing energy access for millions of people around the world without access to energy as well as for providing reliable and stable power to industry. Because the microgrid approach to electrical distribution allows local users more flexibility to control the optimization of power-sources and uses, it is growing in appeal.

Microgrids are an extension of on-site generators, or dedicated power supplies, sometimes called captive generation. Technically, a microgrid is a grouping of small, independent power-generating equipment connected to computer systems that monitor, control and balance energy demand and supply and storage in response to changing energy needs. They can also be cleaner if solar or wind is used as part of the energy mix.

Now that solar panel prices have fallen, distributed solar can be cheaper than running diesel generators alone for backup power. The microgrid market is therefore undergoing a transformation from a niche application intended for military bases, telecommunication base stations and remote communities to national grid extenders, a grid modernization tool for utilities, cities, communities and public institutions.

Market growth can be attributed to several factors, which vary depending on global region but include a growing demand for stable and reliable electricity, declining prices for microgrid technology, increasingly unstable grids (especially in more developed countries) and a lack of grid connectivity in many developing countries.

Emerging markets with little or no infrastructure are, in some ways, ideal for the microgrid system because they avoid the need for expensive and inefficient transmission and distribution systems. Microgrids allow the developer and user to put generation closer to the load, so there are fewer losses and no need to build the expensive transmission and distribution networks that are typical with the central generation model in use in much of the world today.
