Substation forms a critical part of the electricity transmission and distribution process. They regulate the increase and decrease of voltages with the help of step up and step down transformers respectively. There are also, devices like circuit breakers and fuses installed to protect the distribution networks at the substation. Substation automation market is where various innovative technologies and components are used to automate the operations of the substation. It is mainly used for remote access and control of substations. The global market is anticipated to grow with a CAGR of 6.11% through the forecasting years of 2019-2027. The market will rise to expected revenue of about $69,585 million by 2027. The base year considered for the study is 2018, and the estimated period is between 2019 and 2027. The growth of this market is driven by the following factors:

  • Growth in consumption of electricity
  • Need for advanced technologies in the power system
  • Need to reduce maintenance and operation cost of substation
  • Government regulations in favor of substation automation market

The most important driver that is advancing the market growth is the need for reducing the maintenance and operation cost of the substation. Most of the utility company and power network operators are now concerned to reduce the maintenance and operational cost by implementing substation automation. As customer complaints incur a huge cost for utility companies due to prolonged outage time and longer traveling distance, they have started incorporating substation automation to address those issues with minimal cost. As the power sector investment is growing worldwide, many players are emerging in the market. However, substation automation can bring competitive edge for players by reducing the overall cost for both customers and electric service providers.

In 2018, substation automation in transmission accounted for the largest revenue share of 82.25% of the market by product segment. It is also expected to be the fastest-growing segment by product type. The transmission segment includes automation solutions that are implemented between generating plants and grids. It considers all the intermediary power equipment such as transformers, relays, and switches between these two points. The automatic tap changer in the transformer and numeric control of relays and switches on the transmission line are few of the major applications that generate maximum revenue for the transmission market. There are few major customers such as the aluminum and metal industries that directly purchase power from generating station and have no intermediary between them. The transmission automation helps these industries to obtain an uninterrupted and reliable power transmission through a long distance of traveling wire. The transmission segment contributes a huge revenue to the overall market due to a large number of intermediary substations between generating station and grids. As the power infrastructure grows worldwide, the adoption of substation automation experiences a surge in the market.

The market growth is restrained by problems such as the lack of interoperability & threat of cyber-attack on the substation. The number of interconnected devices in the substation are increasing day by day. But the integrators use smart devices from different vendors. Hence, the communication between these devices is becoming a difficult task due to lack of standard protocols. The cost of substation automation has increased significantly due to rising interoperability issues such as these.

The report on global substation automation includes segmentation on the basis of components, module, communication channel, product and end-user.

Geographically, the global substation automation market has been segmented on the basis of four major regions, which includes:

The largest market for substation automation lies in North America. The substation automation market in North America experienced continuous growth due to the demand for the energy-efficient grid. Further, the well-established telecom industry is fully supplementing the substation automation market in the region to grow. At present, the US is continued to be the largest market for substation automation due to aging infrastructure. Thus, the retrofit and replacement activities in substation automation are the key revenue contributors for the region. The fastest-growing market for substation automation lies in the Asia Pacific region. The high cost of installation and the low awareness among utility companies were the two major challenges for the substation automation market in the region during the forecast period. Also, the lack of supplementing infrastructure was off-putting substation automation in the region. The alarming growth of population in India and China are driving higher demand for electricity. It was observed that approximately 50% of power is wasted in India during transmission and distribution. Half of these waste occurred due to electricity theft. Thus, transmission losses in these highly populated countries can only be restricted through substation automation.

The global substation automation market segmented into the market by components, module, communication channels, product and end-user. The Component segment is further sub-segmented into re-closer controller, programmable logic controller, capacitor bank controller, digital transducer/smart meter, load tap controller, communication channel, digital relays & others.
