BESS will provide better peak load
management, improved voltage profile, frequency management, agility to
integrate intermittent solar energy sources and ensure high quality power for
consumers.
The BESS is located at CESC’s East
Calcutta Substation near Kankurgachi, Kolkata. This battery-based energy
storage system uses latest Gel type Lead Acid Technology, propelling higher
level of efficiency and safety.
This BESS technology is poised to
play a pivotal role for DISCOMs in near future.
Scalability, higher size of BESS etc.
will depend on overall economics, technology developments & efficient
integration.
“In our constant endeavour to adopt
Sustainable Technology, we have embarked upon installation of our first Battery
Storage System in Kolkata to further enhance Quality of Power supply to our
Consumers through dynamic peak load management, improved voltage &
frequency profile and embedded agility for dynamic integration of intermittent
solar energy sources.” said Mr. Debasish
U Banerjee, MD (Distribution) of CESC.
"We are delighted to announce that two
industrial icons of West Bengal joined together for an Energy Storage Project
powered by our cutting-edge Advanced Gel Technology. We hope this initiative
will be a foundation for more such exciting collaborations and we are bullish
on economics of lead acid storage solutions for utility scale use cases" said Mr Gautam Chatterjee, Managing
Director & CEO of Exide Industries.
