To Disrupt or Not to Disrupt: Understanding the Global Microgrid Market

LONDON, June 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

Frost & Sullivan Global Energy and Environment Research Team

"Microgrids" is the new buzz word amidst the rise of distributed energy resources and battery energy storage systems. "Significant price declines in both distributed renewable power and battery technologies, coupled with increased technological advancements in control and energy management systems, have created a vision of highly reliable, efficient, renewable and "islandable" grid networks embedded with advanced smart grid technologies", says Ross Bruton, Senior Industry Analyst for Smart Energy Systems, Frost & Sullivan. These microgrids are expected to protect the encompassed load (e.g., community, commercial park, industrial zone, military base, etc.) from sudden outages, as well as mitigate on-going power quality and reliability issues experienced by the central gird.

"However, the development of this advanced microgrid market rests on an already established global market of remote and island microgrids, largely driven by remote electrification of communities and a severe lack of reliable electricity supply in developing countries", - Mr. Bruton continues. To provide an understanding of the nuances of the global market, the briefing will provide clarity on market drivers and restraints for different application and geographic markets; geographic segmentation of market revenues and key market hotspots; and multiple business models that vary depending on the unique regulatory, economic, topographical, social and technological environments in which they are developed.

It will also be useful to:

• Understand the market forces impacting the development of microgrids within key regional markets (NA, Europe, APAC, ROW);
• Discuss market strength, commercial opportunity and expected growth of microgrid types per regional market (i.e., rural and island grids, community/utility, commercial/industrial, military, institutional/campus);
• Learn about assessment of key business models being used in the establishment of bankable microgrid projects;
• Gain a snapshot of growth hotspots (countries) for future microgrid growth and assessment of supporting policy.
