Isro set to transfer tech on low-cost e-vehicle batteries to industry: Chief - ion battery
New Delhi: Powering the center's ambitious e-commerce
The Indian Space Research Organization (Isro) vehicle project aimed at reducing air pollution and crude oil imports is transferring the technology of the cheaper version of the space battery it has developed to the automotive industry for e-commercevehicles.
In another development to promote outsourcing of space components, Isro awarded contracts for PSU Bharat Heavy icals Ltd. (BHEL) to manufacture 10,000 space batteries for space applications each year.
Dr. K Sivan, Isro chairman, said in a conversation with TOI, "We have identified (developed) technologies to reduce the cost of space batteries for e-commerce
Production of vehicles.
Now, we're moving technology to low.
With the help of NITI Aayog, spend batteries for commercial use in the (automotive) industry.
Dr. Sivan said, "Isro has developed four types of cells for space applications --1.
5Ah, 50Ah, 100Ah.
Of the four units, Isro earlier allowed the Indian Association for automobile research (Association for Industrial automobile research) to develop prototypes of electronic products using units 50Ah and 100Ah
Scooters and electric bikes
They are cars.
ARAI is satisfied with the performance of these prototypes.
Isro is therefore working to transfer technology to the industry.
"ARAI showed up in two last year-
Two-wheelers that can run up to 98 km
Charge at speeds up to 4050 kmph.
This move by Isro has brought great relief to the industry.
At present, ion batteries are not produced in China, but imported from Japan or China.
The Isro chairman said that in order to get the industry involved in the space project, "BHEL is preparing for a large scale
Each year we produce 10,000 space units for our space applications.
In rockets like GSLV or PSLV, 500 to 700 space units were used.
These cells are also used by satellites.
In fact, GSLV MkIII, Isro's heaviest rocket-
D1 was launched on June 5 and is also the heaviest satellite Gsat-
It carries local space batteries.
On January, the Cabinet Secretary P. k. the Committee of Secretaries led by Sinha recommended that the Ministry of Electricity launch the "necessary electricity price and access policy" to promote the development of the charging infrastructure, and official sources said that consultations with the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission and other agencies were held.
The Commission also identified strategies for increasing zero use
Reduce India's dependence on oil imports and improve air quality.
India currently imports RS 7 a year of crude oil from Brazil.
The panel also suggested that "Isro may consider transferring" its lithium-
Ion battery technology used in electric vehicles
After obtaining the approval of the Space Commission and other authorities, the discriminatory basis for commercializing manufacturing conditions in India ".
