Which key factors are driving the expansion of the digital substation industry?
The increase in demand for electricity is expected to propel the growth of the digital substation market. Digital substations are actively used in replacing traditional copper cable with advanced fiber optics transmitters to convert electrical signals to optical signals. Digital substations are also used in power grids and transformers to minimize losses during transmission of electricity. For instance, in 2023, according to the International Energy Agency, global electricity demand is expected to grow at a much faster pace of 3% per year over the 2023-2025 period, compared to the growth rate in 2022. This anticipated increase reflects the continuing recovery of industrial and economic activities, along with rising demand for energy-intensive services and technologies worldwide. Therefore, the increase in demand for electricity is driving the digital substation market growth.

How are emerging trends transforming the digital substation market dynamics?
Strategic collaboration between companies is a key trend gaining popularity in the digital substation market. Companies that provide digital solutions are undergoing partnerships and collaborations to cope with the digital transformation that is occurring at a rapid pace. For instance, in September 2023, Hitachi Ltd, a Japan-based electronics company partnered with East Japan Railway Company to develop full-digital substation system by 2025. The technology will enable dual configuration of transmission lines as well as protection and control functions in substation premises, allowing for stable railway transportation via a stable supply of power. Furthermore, by minimizing the size of facilities, it will improve construction efficiency. Furthermore, in March 2023, Tata Power, an India-based integrated power company partnered with Enel Group, an Italy-based green energy and artificial intelligence (AI) company to power digitalization and automation of India’s power distribution network. The first pilot project will focus on increasing digitization and automation of secondary substations, with Tata Power joining Gridpertise’s proprietary QEd – Quantum Edge Device international co-creation programme. This collaborative programme will virtualize grid functionality, allowing for network security and control, automation, real-time problem detection, and service restoration.
