The
Electrical Testing and Commissioning market of India exhibit moderate growth during 2015-2020.
Electrical Testing and Commissioning involve a set of processes, performed to establish if a product follows universal regulatory standards or not. These certified regulations are associated to the quality, performance and technical safety of the product. Usually, it is seen that testing and commissioning are carried out in the best interest of the customer as they provide them assistance for a safe purchase. In recent years, there has been an increase in the demand for testing and commissioning as a result of rising outsourcing of testing, inspection and certification services.
The Electrical Testing and Commissioning market is expected to register a CAGR of 6.73 per cent over the forecast period from 2021-2026. “Growing dependency of large institutes such as power generation plants, manufacturing industries and oil refineries on testing of the electrical equipment will continue to boost the electrical testing and commissioning market” says Umed Singh, CEO of Technology Products. Electrical Testing and Commissioning enables manufacturers to achieve government compliance and regulations for testing.
Launch of New Products
Owing to the growing demand for electrical testing across various industries, players in the market have been launching new products to gain a competitive edge. Besides the obvious, electrical transformers and voltage measurement devices make up an important chunk of the devices used for electrical testing.
Today, industries use a large number of equipment that runs automatically, which has been made possible by the use of electricity. While maintenance costs for these are frequently abated by their increased automation, electrical testing and commissioning keeps equipment pre functional. Industrial Automation is increasing as demand for efficiency rises and this increasing demand for global industrial products call for efficiency that cannot be achieved with traditional production facilities. Electrical testing and commissioning keeps automation intact in such industries.
Renewable Energy Sector
There is a surge in the renewable energy sector which generates significant demand for electrical testing for transformer, battery, power quality and insulating testing applications.
According to a recent survey, it is found that the world will see a 400 per cent growth in renewable energy by 2040, which will eventually create high demand for electrical testing and commissioning to measure DC current as most renewable energy generates DC current than traditional AC current.
Infrastructure Projects
Multiple infrastructure projects such as implementing high voltage lines and power generation plants are driving the demand of electrical testing and commissioning in the country. Demand for electrical testing and commissioning is high in India, especially since the country is home to several industries. Besides this, the heavy usage of electrical devices will enable the Indian electrical testing service market to register a CAGR of 7.7 per cent by the year 2031.
Constant Evolution of Electronic Gadgets
With the shrinking size of electronic gadgets, featuring advanced wireless capabilities and gaining in complexity, testing has become a vital process in electric power generation, transmission and distribution. The world is increasingly becoming software oriented and the way people interact with devices is changing. Smartphones, set top boxes and even automobiles are now defined by their embedded software. With this evolution, the Electrical Industry is challenged to keep up with the pace of innovation and the resulting complexities. The industry today realises that building a test system requires evaluation of expanding test requirements and an architecture that can last over time. It is absolutely important to choose a platform that can harness the technology curve while enabling abstraction and integration.
Electrical systems in most buildings are the most critical systems to maintaining building operations. Electrical systems provide energy to all the systems in building including HVAC, lighting, security, safety, communication and monitoring systems. Commissioning of Electrical Power Systems is important because most electrical failures often occurs as catastrophic events and are not detected until a fault or failure occurs.
Provides Optimal Productivity to Equipment
It is seen that successful commissioning of a project results in critical systems resilience, maximum energy efficiency, indoor environmental quality, extended systems life and reduced operation and maintenance costs. Commissioning ensures a new facility begins its life cycle at optimal productivity with all systems operating as intended.
Earthing points provided in switchgear are to be connected with the station earth bar or earth grid. Measurements of earth impedance are made to ensure that no dangerous voltages can arise due to fault currents flowing in the earth conductors. All equipment should be solidly and effectively earthed to the earth connection of the switchboards. After the switchgear erection has been completed, a final inspection is made covering various aspects of both indoor and outdoor switchgears.
How is the Future
Industry experts believe that in the next few years, personnel safety will stand out to be the foremost factor that maintains the prevalence of electrical testing and commissioning market. Many companies are urging to shift the trend from outsourcing the testing services to in-house testing department in the coming future. Despite incurring high initial costs for clients, increase in the in-house capabilities is going to be beneficial due to the instant availability of testing equipment and personnel.
