A microgrid controller is basically a device that loads within a specific electrical system to maintain reliable frequency and voltage. In order to maintain stability and satisfy power demand, the microgrid controller effectively automates control of all modules and interconnections of microgrids.

The microgrid controller has some benefits, such as the ability to identify electrical disturbances and implement accurate responses, lower energy production costs, and reduced environmental impact. Key manufacturers of microgrid controllers are focused on the integration of new control technologies to minimize the overall cost while moving toward renewability.

Due to the growing preference for microgrids to ensure power stability in critical loads, the market for microgrid controllers is anticipated to expand significantly. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the need for microgrids and their operating systems has dramatically decreased due to the reduction in electricity usage, especially for industrial operations.

Grid connected is expected to spearhead the market growth

A grid network that is completely connected and set up to distribute electricity in accordance with the needs of the appropriate end user is referred to as grid-connected. The unique advantage of being the most affordable option among the available microgrid solutions has led the majority of homeowners and small-sized businesses to prefer grid-connected microgrid systems to meet their respective power demands. Increasing the electrification in rural areas led to the highest adoption rate of off-grid microgrid controllers. Off-grid networks are energy self-sufficient and offer power security during electricity failure.

Hardware segment accounted for the largest share in 2021

The hardware segment is driven by an increasing number of microgrid projects in large power plants and strong demand from process industries, including manufacturing, mining, steel, and chemical, oil and gas. The elements that comprise the hardware are the digital input and output modules, analogue input and output modules, local controller, and communication system. Additionally, the capability of software to monitor, predict, manage, and maximize the energy supply is predicted to allow the software sector to expand during the projected period.

Commercial & industrial accounted for the highest revenue share

The commercial & industrial segment holds the largest revenue share and is expected to grow in forthcoming years. The requirement for a continuous power supply and minimizing equipment damage during industrial activities may be a factor in this market segment's growth. The main driver propelling the expansion of this market is the increasing use of microgrid technology, which enables constructions to continue operating on their own power when the grid fails.

Asia Pacific is expected to dominate and witness the fastest growth over the forecast period

Asia Pacific is a major market for microgrid controller systems. The demand for electricity in the Asia Pacific region is increasing faster than the capabilities of traditional electrical networks, which is further boosting the market's The growth of the Asia Pacific is anticipated to be driven by the expansion of conventional electricity grids, significant spending on electrification projects, and moderation and renovation of existing electrical networks.

Increasing rural electrification projects in developing nations, including Bangladesh and India, have supported the growth of the microgrid controller market in the region. The government regulatory framework and major leading companies is also anticipated to fuel market expansion in North America. Additionally, the market has grown as more smart grid projects have been launched in Canada.
