Background & Challenge

India’s rapid renewable energy expansion has created grid balancing challenges, especially during peak demand and renewable intermittency. A large-scale storage system was needed to stabilize supply.

CESC’s Tailored Solution

CESC deployed a multi-megawatt storage system with AI-based scheduling and WMS integration, enabling real-time frequency regulation, load shifting, and renewable smoothing.

Key Highlights

  • Grid Balancing – Supports frequency regulation and peak load management.
  • AI Optimization – Improves renewable energy utilization.
  • Scalable Capacity – MW-level deployment for utility-scale impact.

Results & Impact

The system improved grid reliability, reduced curtailment of renewables, and enhanced energy market efficiency.

Industry Significance

This project is a model for integrating large-scale storage into rapidly evolving power grids.
