World Fault Current Limiter Market - Opportunities and Forecasts, 2014 - 2020

Fault current limiter (FCL) minimizes the occurrence of fault currents and is a vital protection component in modern T&D networks to function properly.

Growing concerns for reliable & efficient power supply coupled with interconnection mechanism in electric utility grid are the key factors that drive the growth of the market. Furthermore, favorable government initiatives to expand or modernize the present day T&D system along with inadequacy of circuit breakers and fuses used in T&D systems are the drivers that will boost the growth of the market. Lack of commercialization along the absence of universally accepted standards for FCLs is a key restraining factor that will hinder the growth of the market.

The high demand for intelligent & modernized power grid infrastructure and the general preference for renewable energy applications will offer ample growth opportunities to the fault current limiter market across the globe. Safety concerns and massive scale of high-temperature superconducting fault current limiter (HTS-FCL) in power systems along with the high cost are key market challenges.
