Urban Power Distribution — Deployment of GITs to efficiently distribute electricity in dense city environments.

Urban power distribution systems face unique challenges, including high population density, limited space, and the need for a highly reliable and safe grid. Gas-insulated substations (GIS), which use SF6 -insulated equipment, have become a cornerstone of modern urban power distribution. Their compact size allows for the construction of substations within existing buildings or underground, minimizing the aesthetic and physical footprint on the city landscape.

This is a stark contrast to traditional open-air substations, which require large tracts of land. The sealed nature of GIS equipment also makes it more resistant to pollution and environmental contaminants, which are prevalent in urban settings. As a result, GITs require less maintenance and offer enhanced reliability, which is crucial for preventing widespread power outages in densely populated areas. The use of compact and safe equipment is essential for maintaining a robust and resilient power supply to homes, businesses, and critical infrastructure in cities.

A company's market share can also be influenced by strategic partnerships and major project wins. For example, a large-scale government contract for a smart grid project or a major offshore wind farm can significantly boost a company's market position for several years. Overall, the market share is a reflection of a company's ability to balance innovation, cost, and reliability in a highly technical and demanding market.
