Energy Storage

Tata Power Renewable Energy Ltd (TPREL) will develop a project combining solar, wind and battery storage components to ensure 80 MW firm and dispatchable renewable power supply during peak demand hours.

The Solar Energy Corp. of India (SECI) has issued a tender inviting bids for the development of 1.2 GW of renewable energy (RE) projects coupled with energy storage systems (ESS) to ensure an assured peak power supply of 4.8 GWh (1,200 MW x 4 hours) daily. The projects will be developed on a build-own-operate (BOO) basis.

A report from the American Clean Power Association (ACP) and Wood Mackenzie indicates the utility-scale energy storage sector added 4.9 GW in the April-to-June quarter, representing 63% year-on-year growth, while residential storage increased by 608 MW.

Japanese researchers have developed a green rust–based catalyst for sodium borohydride, while South Korean scientists have created a framework to assess liquid hydrogen storage tanks for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV).

Switzerland’s Phenogy has launched a megawatt-hour-scale sodium ion energy storage system at a commercial site near Bremen Airport in northern Germany. With this project, the Swiss manufacturer is making its debut on the European energy storage scene, backed by ambitions to develop fully vertically integrated local manufacturing.

NTPC Green Energy Ltd (NGEL) is inviting Expressions of Interest (EoIs) from global and Indian developers to set up green hydrogen and/or green chemical projects within India’s first National Green Hydrogen Hub at Pudimadaka, near Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh.
