What Are The Primary Growth Drivers In The Wind Turbine Automation Market?
The exponential growth of wind turbine automation market is being fuelled by the widespread use of wind energy. The conversion of the Earth's air masses' kinetic energy into electricity using wind turbines defines wind energy. The preference for wind energy is rising due to its sustainability and cost-effectiveness in generating renewable energy. Wind turbine automation enhances the efficiency, reliability, and safety of turbine operations. It enables the tracking of operations, scheduling of maintenance, fault detection, and performance optimization to boost energy production and lower operational expenses. For example, the International Energy Agency, a France-based intergovernmental body, reported a 265 TWh increase in wind-generated electricity in 2022, a 14% increase from 2021, representing the second-largest growth across all power generation technologies. Wind energy continues to be the leading non-hydro renewable technology, with over 2100 TWh produced in 2022, exceeding the total output of all other renewable sources combined. As a result, the wind turbine automation market expansion is being spurred by the growing acceptance of wind energy.
