Increasing preferences for clean energy generation sources is stimulating the growth of the microturbines systems market
Microturbines
system are turbine blades that have an acoustic modeling component. It is
generally an air compressor or engine designed for use in small-scale turbine
applications. The size of the turbine blades is in turn dependent upon the
requirements of the application and the turbine's performance characteristics.
The basic function of microturbines is to provide electrical energy to an
application without the need for modifications and the reduction of cost.
Growing
preferences for lower emission power generation sources are driving the growth
of the microturbine systems market. They provide significant advantages such as
the ability to run on multiple fuels, compact size, and higher efficiency which
automatically reduce the electricity costs. This factor is driving the demand
from a wide range of industries. The rise in shale gas exploration coupled with
the increasing implementation of strict government regulations is also expected
to augment the growth of the microturbines
systems market.
On
the other hand, fluctuating prices of oil are projected to hinder the growth of
the microturbine systems market.
North
America is projected to gain significant growth over the forecast period and
this is attributed to the rise in shale gas exploration in the region. According
to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the U.S. natural gas production
in 2019 was about 34 trillion cubic feet (Tcf), the highest annual amount
recorded. In 2019, U.S. dry natural gas
production was about 9% greater than U.S. total natural gas consumption.
Moreover, high demand for the product from end-user industries such as
wastewater treatment, construction, mining, and pharmaceutical industries in
the US is further anticipated to augment the growth of the microturbines market
Key Developments:
1. In April 2017, Capstone Turbine
Corp. has expanded its Signature Series line of microturbines with the launch
of the Capstone C200S microturbine. The 200 kW C200S microturbine incorporates
numerous system and design upgrades intended to improve overall product
quality, reliability, and performance
2. In February 2020, Toshiba
Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation ("Toshiba") has launched
“TC78H670FTG,” the latest addition to its line-up of micro-stepping motor
driver ICs. The new IC has a maximum rating of 18V/2.0A and can drive motors
with a wide range of operating voltages
3. In April 2019, SSE Enterprise
launches a clean power solution with microturbines. It utilizes the latest gas
microturbine technology from California, is being launched by SSE Enterprise
and Pure World Energy.
