Rising Trend: Embracing Digital Transformation in Switchgear
Digital high voltage switchgear is pivotal for advancing towards a smart grid by facilitating advanced control, protection, and monitoring of the electricity network. These systems also address space constraints and manufacturing delays, allowing OEMs to modify existing equipment rather than produce new units, thereby reducing overall costs. Consequently, leading players in the energy sector are increasingly focusing on the digitalization of electrical gear to meet evolving consumer needs.
For instance, Hitachi Energy offers an extensive range of high voltage switchgear and breakers for voltages reaching up to 1200 kV AC and 1100 kV DC. While General Electric does not provide a dedicated digital switchgear line, it supplies digital substations and instrument transformers. Siemens Energy, on the other hand, features a complete portfolio of digitally-enabled substation equipment, branded as 'Sensformer' and 'Sensgear'.

High Voltage Plays a Crucial Role in Switchgear Market
High voltage switchgear is essential for maintaining grid stability and reliability, driving its dominance in the switchgear market. Its role in supporting renewable integration will be increasingly critical in the coming years. To address global climate change, it's crucial to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and meet specific targets. Governments worldwide are implementing special policies to achieve this, with a notable event being the UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) held in Glasgow in November 2021. At this conference, participating countries reaffirmed their commitments to reducing emissions and providing financial support to limit the average global temperature rise to 1.5°C.

The power sector, a major source of GHG emissions, was responsible for about 14 billion tons of CO2 in 2019, representing roughly 42% of total global emissions, according to the International Energy Agency. The sector now faces the dual challenge of reducing carbon emissions while maintaining grid reliability and stability. This has led to a rise in renewable energy sources and decentralized generation, which necessitate the reliable operation of power networks, especially at voltages above 42 kV. High voltage switchgear plays a crucial role in ensuring this reliability and security.
