Microgrid Automation Market: ARC Research Shows High Growth

ARC research shows significant growth in the market for Microgrid Automation Systems. While the electric grid is decarbonizing fast, the microgrid architecture is gaining popularity. The main driver for microgrids continues to be improved resilience and reliability. Electric power is increasingly essential for businesses and residents and the costs of outages have increased, as industry, commercial, and especially residential electric customers have seen large increases of financial losses due to power failures over the past 5 years. Local solar power and grid scale batteries can be integrated with existing fossil-powered backup generators to easily form a microgrid. Suppliers make control and protection systems that can improve reliability and optimize operation.
