High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) Converter Stations - Global Market Size to 2020
Rockville, MD (PRWEB) October 15, 2013 -- High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) Converter Stations - Global Market Size to 2020
The HVDC converter station market experienced considerable growth during 2006 to 2012. As of 2012, the share of the HVDC transmission network accounted for less than 1-2% of the total global transmission network. However, the increased need for bulk transfer of electricity over large distances with fewer transmission losses has led to considerable deployment of HVDC transmission lines and converter stations globally. These factors, along with the focus on creating interconnected grids, are expected to increase the share of HVDC transmission systems in the global transmission market over the forecast period 2013 to 2020.
According to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), global electricity demand is expected to double over the period 2000 to 2030, growing at an annual growth rate of 2.4% and reaching 31,524 Terawatt hours (TWh) by 2030. Developing countries such as China, Brazil and India are expected to grow at an annual rate of 4% during the same period and drive the global demand for electricity. To meet the rising electricity demand, these countries are making significant investment into power generation and transmission. Due to the huge transmission investment in China, Brazil and India, the HVDC converter station market is expected to grow rapidly during the forecast period.
China, Brazil and India are currently the key markets for HVDC substations, and electricity demand in these countries is expected to rise sharply in the future. The main driver for their HVDC converter station markets is that the natural resources for power generation (such as hydro) are located far off the load centers, where the electricity is required. During 2009 and 2012, the cumulative market revenue generated by the Chinese HVDC converter station market amounted to $9.2 billion. The market is expected to continue to increase at a high growth rate in the coming years until 2020, due to the planned execution of a number of HVDC projects.
The HVDC converter station market in North America and Europe is expected to be primarily benefited by the renewable energy targets of individual countries in these regions.
