DC Circuit Breaker Sector: Growth Drivers and Challenges

Growth Drivers

Increasing Demand for Renewable Energy- The demand for renewable energy has been steadily rising in recent years with more countries and companies making commitments to reduce their environmental impact. It is evident that renewable energy sources are projected to contribute 95% of the global power capacity growth by 2026.

Consequently, there is an increased requirement for DC circuit breakers in power distribution systems that rely on wind power. DC circuit breakers play a role in managing electricity flow within these systems ensuring protection, against overloads and short circuits.

Emergence of Advancements in Technology: The field of power distribution has undergone a transformation due to the rapid advancements in technology. This progress has given rise, to the creation of DC circuit breakers that are highly sophisticated. These circuit breakers have been specifically designed to meet the evolving requirements of power systems offering improved levels of safety and reliability. For instance, the application of solid state technology in DC circuit breakers. Unlike the electromechanical circuit breakers that depend on movable components to interrupt the current flow solid state circuit breakers utilize semiconductor devices to achieve the identical outcome. This enables more accurate operation along with enhanced durability, against regular usage.
Increasing focus on Safety Concerns: With the increasing use of DC power distribution systems it's crucial to address safety concerns associated with these systems. Unlike AC power systems that naturally extinguish arcs, DC power systems can sustain arcs for longer durations posing potential risks if not properly handled. For instance, in the transportation industry electric vehicles rely on DC circuit breakers to safeguard high voltage battery. In the event of a short circuit or fault, the circuit breaker promptly interrupts the flow preventing battery damage and minimizing the chances of fire or explosion.

Challenges

High Cost of Production: Due to the complexity and precision required in manufacturing these breakers, they can be expensive to produce. This can make it difficult for smaller companies to enter the market and compete with larger, established players.
Contact wear can increase with DC circuit breakers when compared with AC circuit breakers, affecting their lifespan and reliability
Lack of standardization in the industry

DC Circuit Breaker Segmentation

Voltage (Low Voltage, Medium Voltage, High Voltage)

The medium voltage segment is estimated to hold 47% share of the global DC circuit breaker market in the year 2035. The rise in segment growth can be attributed to the growing need for electricity in sectors like homes, businesses and industries. Medium voltage circuit breakers are perfect for situations that require power usage, high dependability and long term stability. They are also more affordable than Low Voltage Circuit Breakers, which makes them a preferred option, in industries.

Type (Solid-State, Hybrid)

DC circuit breaker market from the solid state segment is estimated to gain the significant share of about 58% in the year 2035. The rise in segment growth can be credited to the growing adoption of state circuit breakers in electric vehicles and industrial applications. These circuit breakers are preferred due to their performance quick response time, high reliability and eco friendliness.

Moreover, governments and regulatory agencies are increasingly emphasizing energy efficiency, reducing energy consumption, which is anticipated to spur the demand, for solid state circuit breakers.
