What have been the primary factors driving the fault current limiter market’s growth?
The rising need for improved and sophisticated power grid infrastructure is expected to propel the growth of the fault current limiter market going forward. Power grid infrastructure refers to the complex network of generation, transmission, and distribution systems that deliver electrical power from producers to consumers, ensuring reliable and efficient energy supply. The growing demand for advanced power grid infrastructure is driven by factors such as increasing energy consumption, the integration of renewable and distributed energy sources, the need for enhanced grid reliability and resilience, and the necessity to modernize aging infrastructure to support technological advancements and ensure efficient energy distribution. Fault current limiters are used in power grid infrastructure to protect equipment by reducing excessive fault currents, ensuring system stability, and preventing outages. For instance, in April 2024, according to the report published by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, a US-based laboratory of the US Department of Energy (DOE), the total cumulative active capacity in power project queues has risen to nearly 2,600 GW (2.6 TW) in 2023, up from 2.05 TW in 2022 and 1.46 TW in 2021, with active nuclear capacity seeking grid connection growing to 10 GW from approximately 6.5 GW and hydropower capacity remaining steady at around 5.7 GW. Therefore, the rising need for improved and sophisticated power grid infrastructure is driving the fault current limiter market.

How will emerging trends drive the fault current limiter market throughout the forecast period?
Major companies operating in the fault current limiter market are focusing on developing innovative solutions, such as ultra-fast fault current interruption solutions, to enhance grid protection and reliability by quickly mitigating large electrical currents caused by faults. An ultra-fast fault current interruption solution is a high-speed protection system designed to rapidly detect and disconnect fault currents in electrical networks to prevent damage and enhance system reliability. For instance, in April 2022, Western Power Distribution (WPD), a UK-based electricity distribution network operator, launched the EDGE-FCLi trial, the first-of-its-kind fault limiter solution trial for electricity network faults. The solution can break fault currents in less than 200 microseconds, making it 1,000 times faster than conventional mechanical methods, thereby reducing the risk of damage to equipment and power outages. Its ability to quickly stop large electrical currents improves grid reliability and safety, especially as more distributed generation, such as solar and wind, is integrated into the network.
