India Advancion Energy Storage Project enables grid stabilization in Delhi using AES battery storage with TPDDL and Mitsubishi, supporting renewables integration, peak shaving, reliability, and emissions reduction across distribution networks serving 7 million customers.

 

A Closer Look

An AES-TPDDL-Mitsubishi 10 MW battery in Delhi that stabilizes the grid, integrates renewables, and cuts emissions.

  • Partners: Mitsubishi Corp, AES, and TPDDL

  • 10 MW Advancion system at TPDDL facilities

  • Improves grid reliability for 7M customers

  • Enables renewables, lowers T&D costs and emissions

 

Mitsubishi Corporation reached a basic agreement with AES Corporation and Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited (TPDDL), which distributes electricity in Northern and Northwestern Delhi, to develop an energy storage demonstration project in India. The project will be concentrated in the grid sectors operated by TPDDL, where initiatives to fast-track grid connections are key to reliability.

Under the partnership, MC and AES will establish a 10 MW energy storage system at TPDDL's facilities, in line with solar-plus-storage microgrid deployments elsewhere in Asia. Administered jointly by the three companies, the energy storage system will contribute to stabilizing the grid network, which delivers power to over 7 million customers across the region. The project will be implemented using Advancion(1), the cutting-edge energy storage technology developed by AES Energy Storage, a subsidiary of AES.

The Indian government has been undertaking a number of initiatives aimed at curbing chronic electricity shortage and addressing growing electricity needs while at the same time reducing green-house gas emissions and improving air quality. One approach has been the proactive use of renewable sources such as wind and solar energy. However, the energy secured from these natural sources is not yet sufficient to fill demand-supply gaps or provide the stability required for the grid network. In light of this, electricity storage systems, including energy storage for microgrids that support local resiliency, have proven to be a valuable option as they provide a back-up of energy supply, which addresses these and other concerns, including the risk of power outages caused by overloading at peak periods. The outlook for electricity storage systems is therefore very positive.

This project will not only serve to demonstrate the contribution that advanced Advancion technology can make to stabilizing electricity grids, but it will also lay the groundwork for MC to develop projects of this nature successfully in India and in other parts of the Asia and Oceania region. More broadly, the introduction of Advancion in the region is likely to have a positive impact in terms of increasing the use of renewable energy, reducing costs related to power transmission and distribution, including cross-border transmission projects that expand capacity, and lowering the volume of green-house gas emissions.
