ANALYSIS OF BATTERY ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEMS FOR

SMART GRID APPLICATIONS IN INDIA

Smart Grids will be the backbone of the future of the decarbonized power system. The unique potential
contribution of energy from batteries can effectively be used at all levels of the electricity grid viz.
Generation, Transmission, Distribution and Customers.

The commercially available battery technologies Lead, Lithium, Nickel and sodium- based batteries will
be studied in this work at grid level and customer level. As a follow up, a series of recommendations will
be made based on the analysis for their mass market utilisation at Indian and Canadian levels of the
electrical system.

They include

1. Generation level: Arbitrage, capacity firming, curtailment reductions

2. Transmission level: frequency and voltage control, investment deferral, curtailment reduction, black
starting

3. Distribution level: voltage control, capacity support, curtailment reduction

4. Customer level: peak shaving, time of use cost management, off-grid supply

Also, the batteries provide mobile and highly flexible storage capacity, and can be placed at several
different places of the grid to ensure efficiency, including:

Connection to a feeder of RES (photovoltaic, wind etc.)

Connection to High Voltage/Medium Voltage or Medium Voltage/Low Voltage Substations

Connection to any point in the Low Voltage grid

Connection to RES in homes and buildings

Decentralised energy storage must be seen as an integral part of the development of india and
Canada's future. Decentralised Battery Energy Storage For Grid Management includes services and
functions of Battery Energy Storage (BES) for Grid Operators. Distribution networks will need to
accommodate more number of Renewable Energy Sources for which batteries and other storage
technologies are necessary. So, Battery Energy Storage is an optimum solution for DSOs to maintain grid
stability and flexibility.
 The role of Distribution Service Operators (DSOs) becomes responsible for the smart
management of the electricity flowing within their grids, by dynamically managing distributed generation
and demand.

Decentralised BES provides a mobile and scalable solution to answer specific local problems
raised by RES integration at the distribution level of the grid.

Battery Energy Storage for Homes and Buildings which include Energy Storage at a customer level
and its functions in end-use applications. Batteries of all technologies can be implemented in low-risk and
environmentally friendly conditions, with high political acceptance.

Cell-level and systems-level research into all battery technologies will improve the business case
for BES at all levels of the grid and large-scale demonstration project studies are necessary to evaluate
how BES can best respond to market needs .

The study and analysis of this can have four-quadrant inverter capable of adjusting real and
reactive power output independently on each phase with intelligent smart grid batteries, real-time control
that adjusts the output of real and reactive power based on inputs from the surrounding distribution
system and Network connectivity allowing for real-time monitoring and control
