Turbine Control Systems Market Size, Share and Global Trend By Type (Gas turbine, Steam Turbine, Hydro-Turbine, Wind Turbine), By Control System (Temperature, Pressure, Flow, Speed), By End-User (Oil and Gas, Power Generation, Refrigeration, Aerospace, Marine, Automotive) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Control engineering has contributed enormously to the development of modern industrial society. In the automation systems of today, control engineering and systems remain one of the core functions. Control of turbine system plays a crucial role in increasing the efficacy of the entire system.

A turbine is a machine for producing continuous power in which a wheel or rotor, typically fitted with vanes, is made to revolve by a fast-moving flow of water, steam, gas, air, or other fluid. A turbine produces rotational energy from a fluid that is picked up by a rotor system into useful work or energy.

Turbines are used in many different areas, and each type of turbine has a slightly different construction to perform its job. Various parameters control the performance of the turbine. Control systems are used to operate the turbine at maximum efficiency. Control systems monitor several parameters and adjust the operating parameters for optimization. 

The turbine control systems market can be segmented into gas turbine, steam turbine, Hydro turbine, and wind turbine. Based on the control system, turbine control systems can be segmented into temperature, pressure, flow, speed, and others. The wind turbine control system measures the wind speed and direction to auto-position itself.

Emission monitoring systems are also linked with turbine control systems to keep the emissions within permissible limits. Control systems prevent over-heating or excessive pressure in the system. Based on end-user, the turbine control system market is divided into oil and gas, power generation, refrigeration, aerospace, marine, automotive, etc. 

The primary market driver for the global turbine control systems market is the demand for increasing efficiency around the world. Control systems enable automation of turbine operations. Automation of turbine systems reduces operating costs, human errors, increases safety, and increases the life of the equipment. The critical market restraint for the global turbine control systems market is the high cost of installation of control systems. Control systems include costly components like sensors, actuators, software, etc.

Some of the major companies that are present in the turbine control systems market are ABB, Woodward, Inc., GE Power, CCC (Compressor Controls Corporation), Emerson, Turbine Controls Ltd, Heinzmann GmbH & Co. KG, Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems, Ltd., Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, Siemens Energy, ANDRITZ, Honeywell, Bosch Rexroth, L&T Electrical & Automation, Proeon Systems Ltd and Yokogawa Electric Corporation.

SEGMENTATION

Regional Analysis

The global turbine control system market has now been spread into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa. The obsolete control systems of conventional power plants (thermal and hydro) in Europe and North America is being replaced by modern, digital, and electronic control systems. European countries like Germany and Denmark dominate power production using offshore wind power plants. To increase the efficiency of oil and gas units, integrated turbine compressor control units are mostly used in Middle-Eastern countries and USA. An increasing number of power generation units in India, China, and Africa is expected to boost demand for turbine control systems. Africa holds the highest potential for turbine control systems. Turbine control systems are extensively used in the global aerospace, automotive, and marine industry.
