NTPC Renewable Energy Limited (NREL) has issued a tender for the development of a 100 MWh vanadium redox flow battery energy storage system (BESS) at the Khavda Solar Park. The project seeks to deploy a 16.7 MW/100 MWh grid-connected energy storage system using vanadium redox flow technology.
According to the tender guidelines, the scope of work consists of the complete turnkey delivery of the system. This includes the design, engineering, supply, and construction of the project. The scope also covers the installation, testing and commissioning of the BESS along with 10 years of operation and maintenance services. Furthermore, the BESS will be integrated with the existing 33 kV pooling substation at the solar park.
Earlier this month, Union Minister for Power Manohar Lal inaugurated NTPC’s 3 MWh vanadium redox flow battery project developed under NTPC’s in-house research and development initiative.
