Battery Energy Storage System
Let’s look at these facts:
- Utility-scale tenders for solar-only projects are scaling down.
- State discoms are no longer signing cheap solar PPAs in haste. They are focussed on distributed projects of upto 10 MWs.
- A large number of tendered solar projects still have no PPAs.
- Ministry of Power has mandated BESS component in each tender.
- BESS is now being increasingly mandated in renewable purchase obligations (RPOs) of obligated entities.
- Tariff differential between consumption of power during peak hours and solar hours is increasing.
- Banking facilities being increasingly reduced or made expensive.
- Grid penalties are increasing on infirm power. Grid managers need firm power as much as possible.
- All roads lead to BESS.
RERTC Infra Pvt Ltd is now the exclusive partner of Amara Raja Energy and Mobility Limited (AREML) for implementing battery energy storage system (BESS) solutions in the state of Maharashtra.
This relationship places us at a vantage point to be able to synergise our understanding and experience with AREML’s products and designs to deliver dependable and commercially viable solutions.
The ratio of energy consumed directly from a solar source and from an energy storage system will need to be about 2.5 to ensure that all the generated energy is made available to the load for consumption without any energy banking facility being provided by the grid.
Though a daunting task, AREML and RERTC can deliver cost-effective solar-integrated BESS solutions as of today. Talk to us!
