Key Global Standards and Best Practices for Safe Design and Installation of Energy Storage System

India has set the target to achieve Net-Zero by 2070. The power generation from renewable energy is one of the key initiatives in achieving this goal. As per the National Electricity Plan (NEP) 2023 of the Central Electricity Authority (CEA), the energy storage capacity requirement is projected to be 82.37 GWh in year 2026-27. CEA has also projected that by the year 2047, the requirement of energy storage is expected to increase to 2,380 GWh due to the addition of a large amount of RE.

With the integration of RE sources, the need for efficient and secure energy storage solutions becomes paramount. The ESS play a pivotal role in balancing the intermittent nature of renewable sources, ensuring a reliable and resilient power supply. These systems not only enhance grid stability but also pave the way for decentralised energy generation, aligning with India’s vision for a robust and sustainable energy infrastructure.

Battery energy storage system (BESS) has been the chosen technology considering the faster deployment, lower land requirements, and greater flexibility in location and use. Regulatory compliance with clear safety regulations is an essential ingredient for the success of BESS.

IESA and UL Standards & Engagement (ULSE) announce a joint webinar series that will feature discussions on adapting international standards and global best practices to suit the Indian regulatory framework considering factors such as regional climatic conditions, grid complexities and the evolving energy policy landscape. Join us for these two informative online webinars.
