discom to set up four solar microgrids in east delhi | delhi news - times of india - battery energy storage system

New Delhi: distribution company BSES Yamuna launched a pilot project to build a solar micro-grid, becoming one of the first discoms in the country to do so in an urban environment.
Similar products are planned for southern and western Delhi.
This is part of discom's green sector initiative, which aims to accelerate the penetration of renewable energy sources.
These micro-grids combine rooftop solar storage systems with lithium ion (Li-ion)
Battery based.
Four of these micro-grids have been set up.
Demonstrate the technology at the BYPL office in eastern Delhi.
The energy generated through the roof solar energy meets the internal power needs of the office load and charges the battery.
The remaining power is input into the grid, which has the potential to reduce electricity charges.
According to experts, these microgrids have multiple benefits for both consumers and discom, such as preventing power outages by sharing loads with distribution transformers (DT)
Even in the case of power failure of the main power grid, power can be provided, in the case of peak power, demand can be automatically responded to, reduce energy costs, etc.
Discom reported that the preliminary results of the pilot project were very encouraging.
The rooftop solar micro-grid changes between 5kw and 7kw, and the energy battery is stored between 7 kwhr and 10 kwhr.
Preliminary results showed that 92% of the energy demand was generated and met through solar plant and energy battery storage, the spokesman said.
Diesel is about 1,245 liters, 0.
In addition to reducing carbon dioxide emissions by about 24 million tons, the solar micro-grid can save 205 units of about 20 rupees a year. A pan discom (
Including where consumers are located)
The introduction of 1,000 such microgrids has the potential to save discom and consumers about 62 million units of electricity and more than 3 liters of diesel equivalent to 41 rupees per year.
In addition, officials say this will lead to a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions by about 51,000 tons.
In order to measure and evaluate the system performance of the micro-grid and promote this concept, discom will
Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW)
Leading non-profit research institute in South Asia.
While the initial cost of the project is high, officials say the cost of building a micro-grid is competitive and could fall further
As market trends show.
Currently, the cost of setting-up a roof-
BSES officials say the top solar system is about Rs 40,000 per KW and Rs 80,000 per KW.
