India’s first grid-scale battery storage system was brought online earlier this week in Rohini, Delhi, by a triumvirate of heavy hitters including Indian electric utility Tata Power, global power company the AES Corporation, and global business enterprise Mitsubishi Corporation.
The 10MW/10MWh grid-connected energy storage system is owned by AES and Mitsubishi Corporation and it is hoped it will pave the way for wider energy storage adoption in India.
The battery energy storage system is located at a substation in Rohini, Delhi, operated by Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited (Tata Power-DDL), and consists of an Advancion Energy Storage Platform supplied by Fluence, a Siemens and AES joint venture.
The Advancion platform is designed around small module nodes that serve as the building blocks for the larger energy storage system, providing a high degree of redundancy.
According to Fluence, the platform’ “independent, modular nodes incorporate pre-certified batteries and inverters with our patented controls and are architected in a massively parallel design – offering customers the highest level of reliability and availability, similar to the world’s best data center systems.”
“Fluence is proud to support Tata Power-DDL in their efforts to continuously improve their network by adopting new technologies such as Fluence’s Advancion energy storage platform,” said Stephen Coughlin, CEO of Fluence. “This historic project is a major step forward and will showcase the valuable role energy storage will play in enabling India to achieve its sustainable energy goals.”
