Energy Storage

The Energy Storage group plays a vital role in India’s green energy transition. We focus on making energy storage central to a reliable and efficient energy system. Our work includes collaborating with policymakers, industry, and researchers to support policies that promote storage integration in grids and transport. Energy storage helps manage renewable energy’s intermittency and strengthens grid stability. We model and analyse storage needs, techno-economic feasibility, and support resource planning in five states. Current projects include assessing DISCOM storage needs and co-locating storage with renewables. Future work will explore emerging technologies, second-life batteries, and urban microgrids.
