Market CAGR for hydropower turbin is being driven by the increasing demand for low-cost electricity generated by hydro turbines. The construction and deployment of hydropower projects has increased in order to provide a better sustainable source of electricity, as hydropower generating emits no glasshouse gases or other air pollutants. Hydro turbines may convert up to 90% of the energy in water into electric energy. Hydroelectricity generation costs have decreased due to technological advancements and great efficiency. The cost of producing hydropower is projected to be roughly 40% less than that of producing electricity using fossil fuels. Because water is denser than air, hydropower has an advantage over wind power. As a result, harvesting wind mechanical energy requires a greater force to rotate a wind generator than it does to rotate a hydro generator. All of these factors contribute to the increasing demand for electricity generated by hydro turbines, particularly in emerging nations, because this is a homegrown source of energy that does not rely on fossil fuel sources.
The hydropower turbine is incredibly efficient, and it can run successfully even at minimal discharge. Furthermore, it is simple to assemble and install. Changes in flow rate can be accommodated by altering the hydropower turbine. A single nozzle is used for very low flow rates, whereas several nozzles are utilised for high flow rates. As a result, such benefits increase the adoption rate of the hydropower turbine market, propelling its growth over the forecast period.
In addition, the popularity of developing technologies such as run-of-river, low head turbines, and micro hydro plants is expected to drive market demand. Environmental deterioration and understanding of climate change are leading many important stakeholders to use environmentally friendly power production technologies in order to support sustainable development among various nations across the world. These characteristics are expected to enhance market expansion within the estimated time frame.
The Hydropower Turbine Market segmentation, based on type includes reactive, impulse, gravity and others. During the projection period, the reactive category is expected to be the largest market, because of the rising use of reaction turbines such as the Francis and Kaplan. This water turbine market increased by 60% due to rising demand for small and medium-scale hydropower projects to meet rising energy demands. The abundant supply of run-of-river resources, along with rising electricity demand in developing nations, is a critical element supporting the business. The Kaplan turbine operates well at low head, whereas the Francis turbine is a hybrid of an impulsive and a response turbine.
