• Project Location : PUDUCHERRY, INDIA
• Overview: 3 Pilot projects
• Supply, Installation, Testing and Commissioning of Battery Energy Storage System using :
 Advanced Lead Acid
 Lithium Ion
 NaNiCl2 / Alkaline / Flow battery
• Energy Storage Size: 250 kWh, 500 kW
• Primary Application: Frequency Regulation
• Motivation:
• It is expected that another 33 GW capacity of renewable energy shall be added by 2017.
• This project is being carried out to find suitability of battery technologies for grid scale storage system
in India for grid ancillary services to facilitate renewable integration

21. Additional Application
• PGCIL has proposed that apart from the frequency regulation, the
same units will also be tested for Peak Shifting application
– Duration 2 hours
– Power rating will be reduced considering the energy availability for the
storage installation
– This is a supplemental application to gather additional data for potential
future deployment
