Power inverter market is
likely to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period since its wider use
in automobiles. Inverter circuits can range from complex designs to
sophisticated ones. Inverter is a circuit that converts ac or DC voltage into
AC or DC direct current and then ‘inverted’ back to the circuit. Commercial
applications of inverter include fuel cells, wind turbines and micro turbines,
variable-frequency drives, uninterruptible power supplies, electronic ballasts
and induction heaters and HVDC power transmission.
Modern inverters use
state-of-art designs and microprocessor controls to generate high quality AC
power efficiently. Functionally, electrical properties and principles enhance
the fundamental operations for inverters. These include DC or AC, waveform
types and associated parameters, energy and power, ohm’s law, single-phase and
three-phase power, resistive and reactive leads, real, apparent and reactive
power and high quality power. Further, numerous industrial applications use multilevel
inverters to support high power apparatus.
A multilevel power converter
helps in achieving high power ratings and also is a source of renewable energy.
Sources such as photovoltaic’s, wind and fuel cells are easily interfaced to a
multilevel inverter for high power application. Since it is used for higher
voltage operations, it provides best solutions offered by semiconductors too.
The need for extra switches, extra AC or DC sources can be used to generate
different voltage levels, generation of stepped waveform with minimized
harmonic distortion, and minimized common-mode voltages.
On a commercial scale, the
growing importance of power inverters in manufacturing sector enables
trajectory market growth for power inverter market. The key driving factors
responsible for the growth of power inverter market includes rise in sales of
electric vehicles across the globe coupled with rise in vehicle models by OEM.
Additionally, rising concerns towards environment and environmental norms to
reduce fuel and carbon emissions by developed countries is adding to the growth
of power inverter market.
On the basis of product
segment, the power inverter market is segmented into normal temperature and
high temperature. On the basis of level, the power inverted market is segmented
into single-level inverter and multi-level inverter. On the basis of geographic
segmentation, the power inverter market spans North America, Latin America,
Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Middle-East & Africa. North America and APAC
regions are likely to dominate the market during the forecast period. Europe is
anticipated to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period. The key
players in the global power inverter market include Siemens, GE, Vestas,
Enercon, Gamesa, MHI Vestas, Gold Wind, and United Power & Mingyang.
