Energy Storage Systems (ESS) and Solar Safety
In this report, fire hazards associated with lead acid batteries are identified both from a review of incidents involving them and from available fire test information.
The technical system characteristics of the Indian power system are favorable for energy storage to reduce operating cost and improve system reliability. Storage can provide energy arbitrage, ancillary services, and potentially defer transmission investments, but existing policy and regulatory barriers may limit these opportunities.
As on 31.10.2023, a total of 186.46 GW (43.8%) non-fossil fuel-based capacity has been installed in the country out of an overall installed electricity capacity of 425.5 GW. India's energy mix is set to undergo a transition from fossil fuel sources to non-fossil fuel based sources dominated by Renewable Energy (RE) in the future.
In the “Reference Case” scenario, which assumes utilities comply with the current state and national Renewable Purchase Obligations (RPO) and energy storage targets, India's total non-fossil capacity is projected to exceed 500 GW by 2030 and reach approximately 600 GW by 2032 (as shown in Figure 1).
In parallel, India's Department of Science and Technology has provided research funding for energy storage since 2009. India has also grown its international partnerships to secure more funding for storage research through centers that research the potential for storage to improve grid stability.
