‘power storage services, next in renewable energy sector’ - battery energy storage system

Chairman of Telangana National Power Regulatory Commission (TSERC)
Ismail Khan said that regulations related to ancillary/capacity services and related regulatory frameworks need to be incorporated into the new power (Amendment)Bill.
Delivered a keynote speech on Wednesday at the "clean energy and energy conference" co-hosted by the Indian Federation of Industry and the British Deputy High Commission
Khan stressed the need to update the regulatory framework to keep up with technological upgrading in the energy sector.
The government of India's ambitious goal is to achieve 175 gigawatts of renewable energy capacity by 2022, which poses a challenge to grid security because renewable energy is unreliable due to unpredictable changes in climate conditions, sir. Khan said.
Energy storage is an option to maintain the safety and stability of the power grid.
The development and innovation of storage services requires the upgrading of regulatory frameworks.
Although energy storage is not a new concept and is used for a long time in the form of hydel and gas
Based on Power Generation, the time lag to pump to the grid is longer in both cases compared to battery storage.
The country's renewable energy capacity has been very low so far, but as that capacity grows, changes need to be made at the policy level.
While Andhra Pradesh has taken some initiatives in this regard, Mr Telangana has not yet adopted the technology
Khan said and suggested a pilot project for storing solar energy that could serve as a demonstration project for future developers.
In a special address, British deputy high commissioner Andrew mcalist spoke about the progress made by the UK in the field of renewable energy and said that the country's capacity is in the field of renewable energy.
It is expected to increase by 2030.
"As part of an ecosystem that supports renewable energy absorption, energy storage solutions are very important because they provide flexibility and reliability for grid systems ,"
McAlester said.
Senior Policy Analyst, Renewable Energy Association (REA)
Frank Gordon described energy storage technology in his speech.
