Analyst Review

Substation automation market holds a substantial scope for growth globally. High electricity demand, increasing share of renewable energy as well as replacement of old substation units provide exclusive opportunities for growth of this market. However, no power system is complete without substations and hence most of governments are providing initiatives to setup smart grids. Major segments in substation automation module market are SCADA, IEDs, and communication networks. IEDs occupy major market share owing to their widespread availability and utilization. Substation automation market is dominated by few key players; however, ever-increasing electricity demand provides opportunities for new players once they overcome the technological barriers.

As the power sector is the key indicator of economic growth, countries are investing in strengthening their power infrastructure to meet the growing demand for electricity. Therefore, increasing electricity demand and strong government support for new power projects together with utilization of renewable energy are estimated to fuel the growth of the substation automation market in the forthcoming years. However, cyber threats are a major concern for the market growth.

Currently, communication channel is widely utilized in substation automation, followed by digital relays and programmable logic controller. Globally, the most preferred mode of communication is copper wire communication, but utilization of power line communication is increasing as it carries both data and electrical current.
