Modular Substation Market Scenario


Modular Substation Market size is projected to be worth USD 33760.28 Million, registering a CAGR of 8% during the forecast period (2022-2030). The market was valued at USD 16.12 billion in 2020.


A modular substation is an important component of an electrical generating, transmission, and distribution system that helps to change voltages and performs other activities such as monitoring, protection, and switching. High voltage equipment, power transformer, and medium voltage equipment are the three independent modules that make up a modular substation. These substations have some advantages over traditional substations, including reduced installation time and space savings while improving safety.


Local equipment rooms, LV/MV/HV packaged substations, generator power plant rooms, control rooms, and process or utility buildings are all examples of modular substation uses. Modular substations are built to work in hazardous, chemically contaminated, and potentially explosive settings. The global modular substation market is predicted to be driven by factors such as increasing urbanization and industrialization, aging power infrastructure, and minimal spatial requirements. One of the most significant difficulties that utilities confront today is the aging of their power-producing and distribution facilities. Utilities and grid operators bear enormous costs as a result of electricity infrastructure failure. They conserve space and can be used to upgrade power infrastructure in areas where space is limited. The worldwide modular substation market is projected to be driven by such reasons.


Modular substation is a critical part of electrical generation, transmission, and distribution system, which is designed to help transform voltages and perform other functions, including monitoring, protection, and switching. Modular substation consists of three separate modules, namely, high voltage equipment, power transformer, and medium voltage equipment. These substations offer many advantages to conventional substations including installation time and saving space while enhancing safety. Modular substation is used for a wide range of applications, including local equipment rooms, LV/MV/HV packaged substations, generator power plant rooms, control rooms, and process or utility buildings. Modular substations are designed to work safely in harsh, chemically contaminated and potentially explosive and environments.

Industry News



  • For the industrial gas business Linde in Singapore, Hitachi ABB Power Grids designed a prefabricated containerized gas-insulated substation in July 2021. BW Ideol and Hitachi ABB have agreed to work together on the development of floating substations for offshore wind farms.

  • Hitachi ABB Electricity Grids unveiled a ground-breaking modular mobile substation solution in October 2020, drastically reducing the time it takes to restore power in the event of significant disruptions like natural catastrophes. The world's first 400 kV multi-voltage modular mobile substation technology can be quickly transported and erected to restore power, cutting the time it takes to build a traditional substation from 18 months to just seven days.


Rising urbanization and industrialization, aging power infrastructure, and minimum spatial of requirements are the factors expected to drive the global modular substation market. Aging electricity generation and distribution infrastructure are among the biggest challenges that utilities face today. Due to the failure of power infrastructure, huge costs are incurred by the utilities and grid operators. According to the US Department of Energy, in the US, nearly 75% of transmission lines and transformers are 25 years old. Aging infrastructure is the biggest threat to the energy supply in the US and require replacement and refurbishment. So, modular substations and other equipment are required for reliable energy supply. Also, they save space and are useful for upgrading power infrastructure where space is at a premium. Such factors are expected to drive the global market. However, the factors such as lack of standardization and grid stability will pose a challenge to the global market.


Global modular substation market has been segmented based on voltage, type, fuel type, application, and region. Based on voltage, the market is classified into 11kV-33kV, 33kV-400kV, and above 400kV. The 33kV-400kV segment is leading the market, mainly due to the wide use of this substation by utilities for reliable power supply. The global market is further segmented based on insulation type into air and gas. On the basis of type, the global modular substation market is segmented into skid/trailer mounted and fixed. Skid/trailer mounted segment led the global modular substation genset market in 2018. The global market is segmented by application into power utilities, commercial, and industrial. Power utilities segment is estimated to hold the largest share in the Global Modular Substation Market during the forecast period.
