Fault Current Limiter Market Insights

Global Fault Current Limiter Market size was valued at USD 5.1 billion in 2022 and is poised to grow from USD 5.49 billion in 2023 to USD 9.86 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 7.60% in the forecast period (2024-2031).

Globally, utility companies have been undermined by demand for electricity as electricity demand outpaces supply. As energy demand increases, increasing system errors are in current levels and more distributed generation, solar and wind and other clean energy sources, added to an already overloaded system which causes faults in the system such as power supply, fallen power lines, or power cut lines. Too much current flows through the electrical system causing failure of the T&D system causing circuit breaker failure or a blown fuse. The fault current limiter limits the amount of current flowing through the system to allow the power system to maintain uninterrupted operation. Therefore, it is necessary to use a fault current limiter to prevent short circuits and damage to expensive electrical equipment.

The market is driven by the advancement in networking and the growing need for efficient and reliable power transmission across the globe. A fault current occurs in the power supply system when the current bypasses the normal load due to a short circuit. It is used to monitor energy consumption in electrical power systems. The fault current limiter is a self-protective feature in modern T&D networks that helps them operate more efficiently by reducing the chances of fault current. The fault current limiter prevents the amount of current flowing through the system and enables system consistency while reducing risk and improving consumer care.

Fault Current Limiter Market Segmental Analysis

The Fault Current Limiter Market segmentation, based on type, includes superconducting and non- superconducting. The Fault Current Limiter Market segmentation, based on voltage range, includes high, medium, and low. The Fault Current Limiter Market segmentation, based on end-use, includes power stations, oil & gas, automotive, paper mills, chemicals, and steel & aluminum. By region, the study provides market insights into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Rest of the World.

Analysis by Application

The superconducting segment is the dominating segment which retained the major market share (3.9 billion) during the forecast period, owing to its advantages, including small size and inexpensive replacement cost. Superconductor fault current limiter (SFCL), fault currently one of the main types of restrictions, and is considered an alternative to conventional safety equipment. Under normal circumstances, the SFCL does not produce much energy and energy loss, but when a catastrophic fault occurs, it switches to a more resistant state.

The non-superconducting segment is the fast-growing segment of the fault current limiter (FCL) market plays an important role in addressing the challenges associated with fault currents in power systems; non-superconducting fault current limiters tend to be more cost-effective than their superconducting counterparts. The materials and processes involved in non-excessive FCLs are often economically viable, making them useful for companies and power system operators prioritizing cost considerations.

Analysis by Material

The high segment is the dominating segment, which retained the largest market share during the forecast period. High voltage fault current limiters are still in their infancy, but medium low voltage fault current limiters have gained general acceptance. High-voltage current limiters have been implemented in many countries such as the USA, China and Germany, although they are not yet available on the market in general.

The middle segment of the fault current limiter (FCL) market refers to FCLs designed for use in medium-voltage power systems. Medium-voltage fault current limiters typically operate in the medium-voltage range, which can vary but is generally considered from 1 kV (kilovolt) to 69 kV. The specific requirements of these devices and the challenges associated with medium-voltage power systems.

Fault Current Limiter Market Dynamics

Drivers

  • Growing Need for Advanced and Sophisticated Power Systems Is Driving the Market Growth

The market value for the defective cage is associated with the development schedule of the power grid in the grid due to the inclusion of all other components in addition to other components value of the deduction expenditure added to the items included. Increase due to inability to machine. These factors have increased the overall cost of device assembly, potentially limiting the market expansion of fault current constraints.

Rise in the Demand of Electricity

  • Rising economies worldwide have led to a dramatic rise in the demand for electricity leading to significant investments in power transmission and distribution. At the same time, many companies and consumer product manufacturers are investing heavily in safety equipment to meet the demand for fault-limited equipment as clean energy such as wind and solar panels add energy to an already overweight electrical system that can fail in over voltages.

 

Restraints

  • High Cost

Lack of fault current limiting standards in power systems, high cost, market potential and safety issues related to high temperature and high temperature superconducting fault current limiting in power systems are expected to restrain the market growth during the forecast period.

 

Cost and affordability

  • Implementing fault current limits can result in significant costs, including the purchase of the equipment itself, installation costs, and potential power changes to existing systems. The affordability and willingness of stakeholders to invest in these technologies can be a significant constraint, especially in small or budget- items and enhanced implementation.

 

Technological Advancement

  • Current constraints of the market is still evolving, and some technologies are considered relatively new or relatively insufficient compared to traditional safety devices. Some FCL technologies lacking a well-established track record existence may lead to hesitation among businesses and end-users to adopt these solutions on a large scale.
