Europe Data Center Generator Market Forecast to 2028 - COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis - by Product Type, Capacity, and Tier

The data center generator market in Europe is expected to grow from US$ 1,214.01 million in 2021 to US$ 1,881.48 million by 2028. It is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2021 to 2028

Every large data center's power supply begins with a link to the main grid, provided by a local utility provider. Data centers are often connected to at least one diesel or gas backup generator to ensure operations are running even during a large-scale power outage. Medium voltage electricity is delivered from the local utility company and the backup generator. One or more transformers convert the medium-voltage electricity to low voltage for usage within the data center. Main distribution boards (MDBs) - which are panels or enclosures that house fuses, circuit breakers, and ground leakage protection units - take low-voltage electricity and distribute it to several endpoints such as uninterrupted power supply (UPS) systems or load banks. When a power outage is detected, MDBs also handle the incoming power from the main grid and can start the backup generator. Most data centers maintain enough fuel on hand to run the generator for 24-48 hours. To preserve sensitive data, data centers require dependable backup power. Datacenter outages can cause substantial access issues, resulting in significant revenue losses for businesses. Outages can potentially harm critical equipment, jeopardizing the ability to resume normal operations. To avoid these costly and damaging downtimes and boost efficiency, immediate, uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems with backup power, power switching control, and generator synchronization management are required. Gas turbines, power modules, and hybrid modules that combine gas with renewables and energy storage technologies are used in modular and containerized backup power systems to meet stable backup power requirements. These systems are simple and provide enough backup power to keep data center operations going during the main power outage. Thus, the availability of various generator systems and the rising need for data centers are propelling the growth of the data center generator market.

With new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the Europe data center generator market at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period.
