The global gas insulated switchgear market was valued at $23.0 billion in 2022, and is projected to reach $35.2 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 4.3% from 2023 to 2032.
Electrical systems use gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) to isolate, control, and safeguard electrical equipment. Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) gas is used as an insulating medium in GIS, as opposed to conventional air-insulated switchgear (AIS), in order to obtain a compact design and enhanced electrical performance. GIS enclosures are built as metal-clad, sealed structures that provide strong resistance to environmental factors. The main insulating medium is SF6 gas due to its excellent dielectric qualities and strong capacity to extinguish electrical sparks.
To regulate and isolate electrical circuits, GIS integrates a range of disconnectors, earthing switches, and circuit breakers. Busbars are made of conductive materials, such copper or aluminum, which guarantees effective power distribution throughout the switchgear. Substation layouts can be made more space-efficient with GIS than with standard AIS designs. The overall dependability of GIS is improved by its sealed architecture and lack of exposure to outside influences. The enclosed design limits contact with live parts, and the use of SF6 gas lowers the risk of fire and explosion.
High-voltage substations that handle the transmission and distribution of electrical power frequently employ GIS. GIS can be used in a variety of industrial settings when limited space calls for a dependable and small solution. Substations linked to renewable energy sources, such solar and wind power, can include GIS. SF6 is a strong greenhouse gas with a high potential for global warming, despite its superior insulating qualities (GWP). The goal of ongoing work is to find substitute gasses or less environmentally harmful technologies. The ongoing dependability of GIS depends on routine maintenance and monitoring practices. This includes evaluating the state of SF6 gas, carrying out examinations, and carrying out any required maintenance or replacements.
Even while air-insulated switchgear is frequently employed, it does have some drawbacks, including a greater physical footprint and poorer insulation performance in extremely corrosive or polluted conditions. On the other hand, when a more compact design or better insulation performance are needed, gas-insulated switchgear, or GIS, is selected. In response to environmental concerns regarding sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) and its high global warming potential (GWP), industry efforts are being made to develop and install SF6-free solutions for gas-insulated switchgear (GIS). SF6-free gas-insulated switchgear uses different insulating gases or technologies to alleviate these environmental problems.
Moreover, there is a lot of potential for GIS manufacturers to meet environmental standards and satisfy the growing market demand for sustainable solutions through the development and production of SF6-free alternatives. The incorporation of GIS into smart grids presents opportunities for enhanced power distribution network monitoring, control, and communication. Growing infrastructure development and urbanization in developing nations present chances for GIS producers to increase their market share in these areas.
A trend in which alternative insulating gases or technologies are used to create and market GIS products devoid of SF6 to address environmental concerns. Internet of Things (IoT) and digital technology integration in GIS for enhanced operational efficiency, predictive maintenance, and real-time monitoring. To accommodate space limits and make installation easier in urban settings, manufacturers are concentrating on creating GIS designs that are compact and modular. increased partnerships and collaborations to foster innovation and handle market difficulties amongst GIS manufacturers, utilities, and research institutes.
