The Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) has issued another two-week bidding extension for the installation and commissioning of a 20 MW (AC) solar plant (50 MWp DC) with 20 MW/50 MWh battery energy storage in the union territory of Ladakh. The bidding deadline, earlier set for February 24, has Read more
A solar photovoltaic powered electric vehicle (EV) charging station has been developed at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) in this tech city, an official said on Tuesday. “The zero-emission EV charging station powered by solar cells has been designed and developed at our sustainable transportation lab by the UK-based Read more
In case of third party ownership model for solar + energy storage systems, the solar + energy storage system is owned, operated, and maintained by a third-party, which provides specific solar + energy storage services according to a contractual arrangement/PPA. This process is very similar to power purchase agreements signed Read more
ESS components are grouped according to function into battery components, components required for reliable system operation, and grid connection components. The battery system consists of the battery pack, which connects multiple cells to appropriate voltage and capacity; the battery management system (BMS); and the battery thermal management system (B-TMS). The Read more
Battery technologies for energy storage devices can be differentiated on the basis of energy density, charge and discharge (round trip) efficiency, life span, and eco-friendliness of the devices. Energy density is defined as the amount of energy that can be stored in a single system per unit volume or per Read more

As the penetration of solar PV increases in the system, flexibility and storage become crucial to further renewable energy deployment. As of 2018, the largest form of grid energy storage in Africa has dammed hydroelectricity, with both conventional hydroelectric generation (272,078 MW) as well as pumped storage (3,196 MW). Pumped Read more
Over the past couple of years, battery technology has improved significantly with many new lithium battery types emerging as manufacturers explore different ways to add or couple batteries to new or existing solar systems. The original Tesla Powerwall was the first ‘high voltage’ DC battery system. Ever since its introduction, Read more
Highview Power’s Pilsworth liquid air energy storage plant in Greater Manchester has received a £10m grant from the UK government. Photograph: Highview Power Construction is beginning on the world’s largest liquid air battery, which will store renewable electricity and reduce carbon emissions from fossil-fuel power plants. The project near Manchester, Read more
