Market: Segmental Analysis
The
Variable
Speed Generator Industry is segmented on the basis of rating, generator
type, prime mover, technology, and end user.
By
generator type, the variable speed generator market is segmented into doubly
fed induction generator, variable speed-self excited induction generator, permanent
magnet synchronous generator, and wound rotor induction generator. Of these,
the permanent magnet synchronous generator segment leads the market.
By
rating type, the variable speed generator market is segmented into up to 100
KVA, 100 KVA-1MVA, 1MVA-25MVA, and above 25 MVA. Among these, the 1 MVA-25 MVA
segment is predicted to generate maximum revenue due to the surging capacity of
offshore wind power projects.
By
technology, the market is segmented into mechanical variable speed generators
and power electronics-based variable speed generators. Of these, the mechanical
segment is estimated to reign in the market until the review period.
Based
on prime mover, the market is bifurcated into hydro turbines, internal
combustion engines, wind turbines, and steam & gas turbines. Of these, the
internal combustion engine acquires the largest market share due to the
increased investments in marine, shipbuilding, and aerospace industries.
End
users segment comprises hydroelectric power generation, renewable power
generation, marine and shipbuilding, oil & gas mining, commercial and
residential, aerospace and telecommunications, and others.
Regional Frontiers
Geographically,
the variable speed generator market spans across Europe, North America, Asia
Pacific, and Rest of the World (RoW).
Considering
the global scenario, the Asia Pacific led the market globally in 2017. The
region is expected to retain its growth due to the rising government mandates
imposed on energy efficiency, modernization of hydropower plants, and a slew of
renewable energy sources. The region acquires the lion’s share due to rapid
industrialization and urbanization, which are triggering the demand for
variable speed generators. To meet the increasing demand for energy, countries
in the APAC region are highly focusing on power generation with the help of renewable
energy sources. Consumption of clean energy will augment the development of
wind power, further creating new growth opportunities in the regional market.
Moreover, the rapid development in the commercial sectors like, hospitals and
institutions are propelling the growth of the variable speed generator market
in the APAC.
