Fixed Hydrogen Stations, by station type

The by station size segment is bifurcated into 2 types Fixed Hydrogen Stations and Mobile Hydrogen Stations. In most cases, fixed hydrogen stations have higher storage and dispensing capacity than their mobile station counterparts, which helps them meet the high demands in busy areas. Fixed stations can be fitted into the existing infrastructure of fueling stations, such as conventional gas stations, thereby making them more accessible and convenient for consumers. Besides, fixed stations offer a stable and reliable supply of hydrogen gas without the logistical complications involved in the transportation of the mobile units from one location to another. Moreover, fixed stations are usually provided with much more support and incentives from the government, including subsidies, grants, and favorable regulations, in order to motivate them to develop and deploy.

Components, by solution

The by solution segment is further bifurcated into 2 types: EPC and Components. The Continuous improvements in component technologies make them more efficient, reliable, and thus more attractive than EPC services. Mass production and economies of scale in component manufacturing have cut down on their costs significantly, hence making them more affordable and preferable to complete EPC packages. Components offer more flexibility to tune in to the individual needs of projects; independent station operators are thus better positioned to have their tailored solutions without having to be locked into one EPC provider. Ordering individual components normally brings shorter lead times compared to arranging comprehensive EPC services, thus shaving off a few weeks or even months from a project timeline and quickening overall deployment. Moreover, Components can easily be integrated into existing infrastructure to provide incremental upgrades and expansions, rather than requiring total replacement.

Relay Market Size by Application: Automotive, Industrial, and Beyond

 The global relay market size is estimated to be USD 9.0 billion in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 14.7 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 6.3% during the forecast period. The relay market is driven by the rising investments in renewable energy resources. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA) forecast, the total global renewable capacity is expected to increase by 1,220 GW between 2019 and 2024, with solar accounting for about 60% of the total additions. IEA also projects that an additional 314 GW could potentially be added under the accelerated scenario during the same period. IEA defines an accelerated case as a scenario wherein governments address three main challenges preventing faster deployment: policy and regulatory uncertainty, high investment risks in developing countries, and system integration of wind and solar in some countries. These increased capacity additions require proper grid infrastructure equipped with protective relays to evacuate power reliably to the distribution utilities.

Increasing power demand and investments in smart grid infrastructure are likely to bring opportunities for relay distributors. All major utilities around the world have announced investments in smart grid infrastructure. These investments aim to improve grid monitoring and control through extensive data collection, peer to peer communication between intelligent electronic devices, and remote operation of grid elements. Numerical relays possess the ability to collect voltage, current, and other real time grid parameters. They can also store, analyze, and act according to the pre-set trip settings. Due to these features and relatively low-cost, numerical relays are installed as part of grid automation and digitization projects. These increased investments in smart grid infrastructure present immense growth opportunity to the global relay market.
