Substation Maintenance Market: Overview
Substation
maintenance is an important part of a plant’s maintenance program. It helps
avoid failure of components such as relays, busses, meters, and racking
mechanisms. Thus, it also helps avoid unplanned outages. Companies can incur
large losses in terms of money and time due to substation failures. This can be
avoided through proper and timely maintenance.
Substation
maintenance consists of several aspects. It involves periodic testing,
checking, inspection, and troubleshooting. This enables to ensure that all
components are working correctly and interacting properly with each other.
Toward this end, various components that are checked and diagnosed include
protection relays, transformers, wiring, breakers, and switchgears. Maintenance
of each component requires different testing tools and strategies.
Many
companies operate in the substation
maintenance market. Some of these are large, while others are smaller
in size. Larger companies such as ABB Ltd. and Schneider Electric not only
provide installation services, but also offer maintenance, repair, and upgrade
services. Smaller companies in the market specialize in providing just
maintenance and repair services for substations. Companies need to be certified
to provide maintenance services to substations. Some companies are certified to
provide services to low voltage substations, while some can provide these
services to extra-high voltage substations.
Substation Maintenance Market: Key Segments
The global
substation maintenance market can be segmented based on type, function, and
region. Based on type, the market can be classified into low voltage, high
voltage, and extra-high voltage. Substations designed for low voltage
electricity supply or conversion are generally located close to end-users such
as households, commercial complexes, and industries. High voltage and
extra-high voltage substations are generally those which help transmit
electricity across long distances. The number of extra-high voltage
transmission lines is less; hence, the number of extra-high voltage substations
is low. Comparatively, low voltage and high voltage substations are common.
These are expected to account for larger share of the substation maintenance market
in the near future.

In terms
of function, the substation maintenance market can be segmented into step-up,
step-down, customer, and distribution substations. Step-up substations receive
electricity supply from the power generation source and increase voltage in
order to transmit it across long distances. Step-down substations are located
at switching points in a transmission grid. They switch the electricity voltage
to lower levels before transmitting it ahead to distribution substations, which
are the last-in-line of substations before the electricity reaches end-users.
Distribution substations further lower the electricity supply voltage to levels
at which it can be supplied to end-users.

Substation Maintenance Market: Regional Outlook
Based on
region, the substation maintenance market can be split into North America,
Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa. The
substation maintenance market can be considered to be directly related to the
transmission grids available in a region. North America and Europe are regions
wherein majority of the population is connected to transmission grids. Hence,
the substation maintenance market is these regions is more mature vis-à-vis
that in Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. A
comparatively larger share of the population lives off-grid in Asia Pacific,
Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. Governments in these regions are
investing significantly in power generation and transmission grids to bring the
population on-grid. Hence, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East &
Africa also present lucrative opportunities to the substation maintenance
market.
