The system is also India's "first commercially approved" utility-scale energy storage system that will ensure improved power supply in different South Delhi areas, covering a population of over one lakh people, said a statement of power discom BRPL (BSES Rajdhani Power Limited).
“Energy storage is now a cornerstone of modern power systems,” said Ayush Misra, co-founder and CEO of AmpereHour Energy. “We're proud to partner with Indigrid and BRPL on this landmark project, demonstrating the scalability and reliability of our technology in urban utility networks.
With a significant increase in renewable energy generation capacity, it is imperative that storage facilities are developed to help India and the world transition to clean energy. With an annual tariff nearly 55% lower than the previous benchmark, the project sets a new standard for BESS affordability in India.
The systems are expected to improve supply reliability. These storage systems enhance network utilisation and relieve the stress on congested feeders. They store electricity in rechargeable batteries for use when demand rises or generation dips. They also support the integration of various renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power.
