Generator Market Growth: Uninterrupted Power Supply in a Digital Age
In a world characterized by an ever-increasing reliance on electricity, technology, and data, the need for a continuous and sustainable supply of power has never been more critical. Frequent power interruptions disrupt daily life at domestic, commercial, industrial, and societal levels, making generators the go-to solution for maintaining uninterrupted operations. Generators have become the lifeline that keeps the world moving forward amidst electricity supply challenges and are gaining popularity due to their versatility.
Rising Global Demand for Generators
With the global population growing, industrialization on the ascent, especially in developing nations, and new technologies emerging at an unprecedented pace, the demand for uninterrupted electricity is reaching historic highs. Global electricity consumption is outpacing population growth, with projections indicating a 57% increase in demand by 2050, nearly reaching 38,700 terawatt-hours, up from 25,000 terawatt-hours recorded in 2017. The persistent demand-supply gap has led to peak power deficits, scheduled and unscheduled load shedding, and brownouts, underscoring the immense potential of generators to bridge these gaps and provide continuous power supply.
A Diverse Range of Generators
Generators come in various electrical and physical configurations to cater to diverse applications. Physical configurations include portable generators, inverter generators, standby generators, and industrial generators. In terms of electrical configurations, generators can be categorized as AC (alternating current) and DC (direct current) generators, depending on how loads receive electric power. While generators for home use deliver AC power, vehicles rely on DC power generators. Alternators, capable of producing AC power, have gained popularity for power generation.
Challenges in Generator Implementation
Despite their advantages, generators have their challenges. Standby generators can strain appliances when switching from the main power supply to backup. Portable generators require installation and continuous monitoring of the control panel. Additionally, on-site fuel storage is necessary for immediate operation. To mitigate exhaust fumes and noise, generators are ideally set up outdoors.
Adherence to Emission Regulations
Meeting emission regulations is crucial for generator fuel tanks and systems. In the United States, compliance with National Fire Protection Association Codes and Standards (NFPA), specifically sections NFPA 30 and NFPA 37, is essential. Emission monitoring includes Nitrogen Oxide (NOx), Hydrocarbons, Carbon Monoxide (CO), and Particulate Matter. Permanently installed prime generators and standby generators that run for over 100 hours per year must adhere to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rules.
Advancements in Cleaner Technologies
The generator market is advancing towards cleaner and more efficient technologies. Newer gensets already meet emissions standards due to improved manufacturing processes. Cutting-edge innovations encompass direct power installation, wireless monitoring, carbon monoxide sensing, power management, and protective-relay-grade microprocessor devices. Promising technologies include thermoelectric generators, radio wave recycling, and energy generation through friction. Companies like A&I Power and Mainspring Energy have introduced innovative generator technologies, with lower-carbon and sustainable features.
Key Players Driving Innovation
Key players in the global generator market, such as AIPOWERGROUP, Caterpillar Inc., Generac Power Systems, Inc., and Solaray Corporation, are focusing on new product developments, sustainability, and energy efficiency. In April 2021, Generac Power Systems, Inc. announced eight acquisitions and two investments, while Solaray Corporation acquired Hawaii-based emergency power specialist Generator and Power Systems.
