Hydropower Turbine Market Analysis and Size

The hydropower generated 4,370 Terawatt-hours (TWh) of the world's electricity in 2020, the most of any renewable and low-carbon energy source. The contribution of hydropower, which is 55 percent greater than that of nuclear power and more than all other renewable energy (RE) put together, is the greatest source of low carbon energy in the world's primary energy basket. Hydropower and pumped storage continue to be instrumental in our fight against climate change by offering important power, storage, and flexibility services. The case for government incentives was made stronger by hydropower's capacity to quickly ramp up or down power supply to follow load, meet peak demand, and compensate for intermittent generation from renewable energy (RE) sources as needed. Consequently, the market is projected to flourish at a positive rate over the forecast period.

Global hydropower turbine market was valued at USD 1450.00 million in 2021 and is expected to reach USD 2805.48 million by 2029, registering a CAGR of 8.60% during the forecast period of 2022-2029.

Hydropower Turbine Market Dynamics

This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail as below:

Drivers

• Mounting Usage of Hydroelectricity

The hydroelectricity is the main renewable energy source that meets more than 16% of the global electrical demand. As a result, hydropower turbines are ideal for producing this kind of energy. The market's growth is expected to be accelerated by the introduction of state-of-the-art hydropower turbines, which can produce clean energy for small cities, villages, and private use and can draw electricity from basic water sources. These turbines are frequently used in the marine and aviation industries as well as in the automation of heating, cooling, and ventilation systems in buildings. The primary factors driving market expansion are the high potential and need for hydroelectric power generation, cheap maintenance costs, excellent energy conversion, and the absence of a fuel requirement.

• Numerous Beneficial Features

The hydropower turbine is extremely efficient, and it may operate effectively even at low discharge. Furthermore, it's pretty easy to put together and the installation is not that difficult. Changes in flow rate can be accommodated by modifying the hydropower turbine. A single nozzle is used for very low flow rates, whereas numerous nozzles are used for high flow rates. Such benefits therefore boost the hydropower turbine market's acceptance rate, fueling the market's expansion over the forecast period.

Additionally, it is projected that the popularity of emerging technologies such run-of-river, low head turbines, and mini hydro plants will boost market demand. In order to promote sustainable development among many nations throughout the world, environmental degradation and knowledge of climate change are driving many significant stakeholders to employ environmentally friendly power production technology. It is anticipated that these elements will promote market expansion in the forecasted timeline.

Opportunities

• Technological Advancements and Integration of the IIOT Devices

Furthermore, various technological progressions coupled with integration of the IIOT devices to improve efficiency by the market players further extend profitable opportunities to the market over the forecast period of 2022 to 2029. For instance, the N.T.N. Micro Hydro Turbine, a tiny hydroelectric generator with independent power that can generate electricity efficiently when installed in an existing water channel, was revealed by N.T.N. Corporation in July 2017.

• Increasing Government Policies and Grants

Moreover, various favorable initiatives and grants provided by the government is estimated to offer lucrative opportunities to the market growth. For instance, the Energy Policy Act of 2005's Section 242 allowed for financial incentives to encourage the production of hydroelectricity in 2014. According to this law, industry participants may be paid up to 1.8 cents per kilowatt hour (kWh) of energy produced, with a maximum annual compensation of $750,000. Additionally, under the renewable electricity production tax credit system, industry participants are qualified to receive tax credits worth up to 1.1 cents per kWh.

Restraints/Challenges

• High Costs

Even though hydropower turbines have a high capacity factor, their application is being hindered by the high installation costs associated with the need for supporting infrastructure. Because of this, even small technological errors can be challenging and expensive to fix. As a result, high installation and maintenance costs are a hindrance to the global market for hydropower turbines.

• Drawbacks associated with Hydropower turbine

The market's expansion is being constrained by a number of factors, including complicated turbine designs, ecological problems with dams, lengthy gestation periods, and high installation costs for dams. Consequently, such determinants will challenge the growth of the hydropower turbine market.

COVID-19 Impact on Hydropower Turbine Market

The recent outbreak of coronavirus had a negative impact on the hydropower turbine market. Investments in the hydropower sector have suffered as a result of the disruption in the supply chain of raw materials such as the concrete and turbines caused by the coronavirus outbreak. Hydropower projects that depend on local suppliers for enormous volumes of concrete and other materials during the building phase have also been unable to meet demand due to stopped manufacturing, a lack of employees, and restrictions on travel. In a number of countries, construction has been approved, with contractors abiding by public health advice including social disengagement and self-isolation. It is projected that the slowing and cancellation of several hydropower projects over the coming years as a result of a faulty supply chain and a workforce shortage will reduce demand for water turbines.
