The growth of renewable energy has boosted the need for developing power balancing infrastructure that can come to the rescue in the event of sudden fluctuations. This is an opportunity for developing battery-based balancing infrastructure that can ramp up or down power output in a very short period.
“There is an urgent need for developing infrastructure to support power distribution systems when a large quantity of renewable energy is integrated into the grid. Going by India’s goals, there will soon be at least 175 GW of renewable energy being pushed into the grid. But, unlike conventional energy, the forecasting of RE generation is tricky and is prone to vast fluctuations,” a power sector official told BusinessLine.
