The HVDC transmission market is projected to reach USD 14.9 billion by 2027 from USD 9.6 billion in 2020, at a CAGR of 6.5 % during 2020 -2027 . High voltage direct current (HVDC) is used in long distance transmission. HVDC power transmission systems use direct current for electricity transmission. Due to the direct current (DC), HVDC systems asynchronously connect power grids in that specific area which eliminate various outage- causing issues. High voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission systems are less expensive for long distance electricity transmission and they also produce lower electrical losses. HVDC systems enable transmission of power generated from solar panels and wind plants which are at long distances.
The interconnection of HVDC and the AC grid has toughened the reliability and capacity of power grids. Growing electricity consumption is one the primary factors driving the global HVDC transmission market. Population is increasing rapidly, thereby increasing the electricity consumption. More and more electrically powered devices are currently being used.
To reduce fossil fuels and carbon emissions are being substituted by new technologies which also cause higher electricity consumption. Growing need for cable based transmission instead of transmission through overhead lines is the other factor responsible for the growth of the global HVDC transmission market. Overhead transmission lines are not insulated and hence the risk of human safety is high. Cable based transmission lines require insulation so that the live cables do not touch the earth and get shorted, and hence the adoption of cable based transmission lines is increasing, thereby boosting the growth of the HVDC transmission market.
Electricity transmission through such lines results in much lower transmission losses due to high voltage during transmission and the nature of direct current, and hence the adoption of high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission is increasing significantly. Requirement of lesser space for the towers carrying HVDC transmission lines is also one of the key factors driving the global HVDC transmission market. Power faults during short circuits in the AC power system may hamper the growth of the global HVDC transmission market.
One of the ways to improve the performance of the power sector is by transforming the transmission and distribution infrastructure. This can be done by creating an efficient transmission infrastructure, which significantly helps reduce losses in transmission, transmitting electricity from renewable sources to energy deficit areas, and reducing the cost of electricity. HVDC transmission cables improve the efficiency of energy transmission by 30-40% than traditional overhead AC lines. There are a variety of HVDC transmission lines available in the market with prominent players having grasp of the market.
Key players in the HVDC transmission market include ABB (Switzerland), Siemens (Germany), General Electric (US), Hitachi (Japan), Mitsubishi Electric (Japan), Nexans (France), NKT A/S (Denmark), NR Electric (China), C-EPRI Electric Power Engineering (China), and Prysmian Group (Italy). ABB is a key player in the global HVDC market.
Based on the region, Asia-pacific is anticipated to lead the global HVDC Transmission market over the forecast period owing to increasing power consumption driven by the growing population rate, especially in China and India coupled with strong demand for uninterrupted power in this region. Moreover, the increasing power infrastructure development in this region is creating new growth opportunities for the market players. Countries such as China is investing heavily in renewable energy resources and employing advanced and latest UHVDC technologies for power transmission.
HVDC transmission market is expected to majorly benefit in the coming years due to expanding infrastructure in offshore region around the world, increasing power connections from the developing countries such as India, Japan, and China, and expansion of transmission and distribution systems. HVDC transmission systems market is expected to be dominated by LCC systems on technology segment, by offshore on application segment, and by multi-terminal on configuration segment and by Asia Pacific on region segment
