“Increase in demand for renewable energy source”
The requirement for HVDC is increasing with the worldwide plans for the vast integration of new renewables in the electrical energy supply, transferring power over long distances. This is especially true for offshore wind farms, which are being planned to meet large electric power transmission needs, which is expected to increase the significant use of gas-insulated transformers. For instance, the European Union has the objective of reducing its carbon footprint by at least 55% by 2030 and creating a climate-neutral zone by 2050 by adopting renewable energy sources, which are generating lucrative opportunities for the gas-insulated market.
The market is expanding as a result of a significant increase in power consumption in developing economies owing to several electrification projects, rising megacities, investments in smart grid technology, expanding IT hubs, and commercial institutions. Furthermore, rapid urbanization and an increasing number of commercial infrastructures looking for ways to reduce operating expenses are expected to drive market growth in the commercial sector.
Owing to their compact design and low maintenance, gas-insulated transformers are preferred for installation in underground and indoor substations in urban areas. With rapid urbanization across the region, electricity demand has increased significantly over the past few years, which drives the demand for gas-insulated transformers. In the forecast period, factors such as increased investments in transmission and distribution infrastructure, increased power consumption, the rise of the renewable energy sector, and the upgrade and modernization of ageing infrastructure are expected to drive the market.
“Uses of Renewable energy and reliable power supply”
As the significance of electrical energy in every sector increases due to the increase in population, the increase in energy consumption from technological developments, rapid growth in industrialization, and urbanization across the region, high power electricity demand has been increasing significantly in the last few years. Due to this, investments in transmission and distribution (T&D) infrastructure for reliable power sources have also grown significantly.
Furthermore, gas-insulated transformers are increasingly being used on long-distance energy transmission and distribution projects to address environmental issues while also improving safety by installing underground networks and smaller substations, so gas-insulated transformers are becoming more popular.
The adoption of renewable energy sources to address the global warming problem by reducing carbon footprint has been increasing rapidly. To meet the rising demand for energy, governments also support the adoption of renewable energy, which required gas-insulated transformers owing to their low maintenance requirements, non-flammability, and compactness. The adverse environmental effects of the oil-based transformer have encouraged manufacturers to shift towards the use of a non-explosive and large-capacity gas-insulated transformer.
“Strengthen environmental norms”
Regional governments and world energy association, and environmental associations have prescribed different regulations for use of transformer material. Environmental regulations concerning the use of sodium hexafluoride (SF6) as a greenhouse gas with a global warming potential 23,000 times that of carbon dioxide, as well as the high cost of instruments, are major factors limiting the growth of the gas-insulated transformer.
Various health and safety organisations, including the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), have issued warnings about the formation of toxic compounds from sodium hexafluoride gas electrical discharge. As a result, the use of alternative gas-based transformers is increasing.
