India’s BESS pipeline is almost entirely 2 to 4 hour duration. That is sufficient for peak shifting but will not be able to cater for the round-the-clock power it actually requires. How quickly does longer duration storage bridge India’s ability to continuously discharge as well as fulfilling its energy transition commitments?
Sodium-ion requires no rare earth materials and carries a simpler supply chain than lithium-ion. What would it take to see sodium-ion in Indian battery development projects?
Some chemistries including vanadium redox, flow batteries and iron-air are each at different stages of readiness. Some are approaching commercial viability. Others remain economically unviable for Indian storage projects. So, which technologies are ready now and which need a push?
