Smart Storage through Water Battery
Creating Waves. Uplifting lives
Water battery is a kind of energy storage system which stores energy in form of potential energy of water in upper reservoir. The head between two reservoirs at varying altitudes connected via an underground / surface water conductor system is utilized by passing water from upper reservoir through reversible pump turbines on its way to the lower reservoir to generate power during peak demand periods. The surplus energy available from other sources like Solar, Wind etc during off peak hours of the day is utilized to pump water back into the upper reservoir for restoring the stored potential energy.
Key Benefits
- Offers most efficient large scale, flexible energy storage during off-peak hours and providing additional capacity on short notice or to meet peak load demands
- Integrates VREs for Grid Stability & Security
- Long operational life with relatively low maintenance costs
- Versatile due to black start capability Ramping support, faster startup and shut down with spinning reserves
