Power discom TPDDL wins CII award for country’s first grid-scale battery energy storage system
Power discom Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited (TPDDL) has won the CII Industrial Innovation Award for developing the country’s first grid-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) at Rohini in the national capital, a spokesperson of the company said on Saturday.
The 10 MWh mega inverter set up at Rohini can feed around 2,500 “special customers” providing essential services like hospitals, Delhi Jal Board, Delhi Metro, and schools among others, he said.
The stored power through BESS can also be used during any breakdown or in situations like grid failure, he said.
After Rohini, a similar facility is coming up in North Delhi’s Rani Bagh, and there are plans to have similar but smaller facilities in every neighborhood in the future, the spokesperson said.
