by The global Hydro Turbine Generator Unit Market is estimated to be valued at Us$ 10144.49 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR Of 8.5% over the forecast period 2023 To 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
Hydro turbine generator units are machines used to convert energy from moving water in rivers, streams or other sources into electricity. They consist of a turbine, generator and alternator integrated as a single unit. Hydro turbines utilize the energy of moving water to rotate a shaft connected to an electric generator. The predominant types of hydro turbines used include impulse turbine and reaction turbines. Hydro power provides a clean, renewable and reliable source of energy with minimal carbon emissions. As governments focus on increasing the share of renewable energy in the overall energy mix, hydropower projects are gaining momentum globally.
Market key trends:
One of the major trends in the hydro turbine generator unit market is the increasing focus on developing mini and micro hydropower projects. Mini hydropower projects generate up to 1 MW of power while micro hydropower projects generate up to 100 kW of power. These small scale projects are gaining prominence due to their flexibility and ability to provide remote off-grid power in difficult terrains. They have lower installation and operational costs and shorter gestation periods compared to large hydropower projects. Growing investements in small hydropower are expected to drive the demand for hydro turbines in the forecast period. Furthermore, technological advancements aimed at improving turbine efficiency, longevity and reducing environmental impacts are some other key trends paving the growth of the hydro turbine generator unit market.
