SUMMARY
Greater Need for Standby Equipment Increases the Uptake of Generator Set
Controllers
Generator sets used for standby power has become a necessity not only in
hospitals, fire stations, and other emergency related entities, but also in
financial institutions, large public facilities, and households due to the
recent natural disasters such as hurricanes, flooding, as well as freak ice
and snow storms in North America. Driven by an increase in automated and
computerized systems backed-up by on-site power, there is a huge demand for
flawless generator sets, and consequently, for control equipment. To meet
these growing requirements and acknowledging the great care that needs to be
taken in monitoring these sets, manufacturers are developing new integrated
approaches in control technology that are meant to help eliminate hassles and
leave a single vendor responsible for integration issues.
This Frost & Sullivan research service examines the North American generator
set controls markets. It provides detailed insights into recent developments
and trends. The study also discusses the prevailing market drivers and
industry challenges as well as gives an overview of the market revenues and
shares. In this research the basic, value, premium, and parallel generator set
controls markets in North America are thoroughly examined. This analysis is
available through our Power Generation Growth Partnership Services program.
With this program, clients receive industry-leading market research such as
this, along with technical and econometric data as well as many interactive
features including Analyst Inquiry Time and Client Councils.
Non-technical End-user Group's Demand for Tailor-made Solutions Likely to
Challenge the Market
"The new end-user groups such as households are demanding more customizable
solutions for their control equipment," says the analyst of this research
service. "As customers want more adaptability in solutions, the challenge for
manufacturers is to accommodate flexibility as well as offer cost-effective
generator sets."
As every other equipment manufacturer (OEM) generator set controls
manufacturer has its own service providers catering to customers' queries
regarding a generator and its controls, end users do not frequently change
vendors. Since the market dynamics for the generator set control is very
sensitive, the switching costs in this market are very high.
Vertically Integrated User-friendly Controller to Encourage the Generator Set
Controls Market
"The display panel in a generator set controller allows the user to monitor
phase voltages, current, power, and power factor from a user digital display,"
notes the analyst. "This display also shows the engine speed and the status of
certain parameters such as oil pressure and temperature as well as intake or
exhaust temperature."
Therefore, with the amount of information displayed on generator set
controllers improving, manufacturers are focusing on bringing in
digitalization, communication, and more scope within the control equipment.
The OEMs have an edge over the non-OEMs in terms of offering more scope in the
generator sets controls as they are vertically integrated. This is likely to
further boost the generator set controls market.
