Grid-tied microgrids can be operated with or without connecting it to the main grid, while remote microgrids work independently and hence do not require any kind of a grid infrastructure. The increasing demand for power that is secure, emission-free, and reliable is leading to growth of the global microgrid market. The undeniable advantage of microgrids is their ability to function without a grid infrastructure. This advantage has allowed installation of microgrids at several locations where main grids do not exist. Some of the other noteworthy reasons driving the global microgrid market are power outages, depleting supply of fossil fuels, fluctuating costs, and the ever-growing concerns about energy security. Some of the prominent users of microgrids are universities, militaries, and commercial and industrial users.
According to analysts, the defense and military segment will be the biggest user of microgrids in North America. This is mainly due to the urgent need for better energy security and reliability in defense forces. However, analysts also predict that the remote islands segment will grow at a rapid pace in the coming few years. Asia Pacific and Europe will also tread on a positive path, as a large number of investments are being made in restructuring the energy mixes. The presence of supportive regulatory policies will also help the microgrid market grow in these regions. Countries that haven't yet invested in microgrids will become the primary targets for major players in the global microgrid market in the coming few years.
