The integration of digital technologies in switchgear, featuring monitoring and diagnostic capabilities, is becoming increasingly prevalent. These digital systems optimize operational performance, reduce maintenance costs, and bolster the reliability of power distribution networks. As countries pursue their renewable energy goals, there is an escalating demand for advanced switchgear solutions capable of managing the intermittent nature and complexities of renewable energy sources.
Oil-insulated switchgear demonstrates suitability for high-voltage applications due to its superior reliability and performance characteristics. This necessity to upgrade existing systems is driving increased demand for new switchgear installations. For instance, In April 2024, Digital Realty and Schneider Electric collaborated with an industry body to implement a circular economy program at the Paris 5 center. This had the purpose to maximize the operational lifespan of critical infrastructure at PAR5, focusing on Schneider’s LV and MV electrical systems, uninterruptible power supply units.
