energetic efforts on to tap into the renewables - battery energy storage system

As Kerala seeks to expand its share of renewable energy in total installed capacity, hybrid power plants, microgrids and energy storage systems will change the power sector in Kerala.

A pilot project has been started to establish a micro-grid in the Marayur tribal settlement in Idukki. The 25-kilowatt grid-
The Connected hybrid system includes rooftop solar panels and diesel generators to provide uninterrupted power supply to residents.
"The project is being implemented with the assistance of the joint electronics department and IT department.
It is expected to be put into use soon . "
Anert, director of Harikumar.
Each of the 25 households in the village must be equipped with 4 LED bulbs, 1 ceiling fan and 1 plug. in socket.
The excess electricity will be used to light up the street lamps in the village.
The project is being implemented by the Advanced Computing Development Center (C-DAC).
The micro-grid includes multiple power sources and allows the deployment of renewable energy sources on a larger scale.
It can be used as a background
Increase power or stabilize the main grid during peak loads.
One advantage of the micro-grid approach is that it enhances the capabilities of consumers in a flexible energy economy.
Anert also works with Keltron and C-
DAC for establishing a hybrid renewable energy system (HRES)
Ramakkalmedu in Idukki. The grid-
The interactive system will also become a demonstration park for local solar, wind and energy storage technologies.
The first phase of the project includes the construction of 1-
MW solar plants and demonstration units for photovoltaic cells and solar tracking technology. The battery-
Energy storage system will provide
Increase power to address grid instability caused by intermittent power generated by renewable sources such as solar cell arrays and wind turbines.
K. said: "Although the cost of energy storage technology is high and still in the development stage, the project will help Kerala accumulate technical expertise in this field . "
Scientist, Anert.
Talks with KSEBAnert have already started with the Kerala Electric Power Commission on the evacuation of power from the hybrid power plant.
It also plans to install wind turbines at a later stage to increase overall capacity.
