CESC and Exide join hands for Battery Energy Storage project



CESC and Exide today inaugurated grid connected 315 kWh battery energy storage system (BESS) at low tension (LT) distribution system.

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.
