Wärtsilä brings energy storage solutions to India

Neeraj Sharma, President and Managing Director, Wärtsilä India

Wärtsilä, a global supplier of flexible and efficient energy solutions, has announced that it will offer technically and environmentally advanced energy storage solutions to the power markets in India. Following the acquisition of Greensmith Energy Management Systems Inc. in May this year, Wärtsilä Energy Solutions has become a major system integrator, providing both stand-alone energy storage as well as hybridised energy systems, control software and integration expertise.

Even though India has achieved a certain level of adequacy in power generation capacity, a granular analysis of data shows that peak/energy shortages exist in certain states and/or in peak hours and certain seasons. A closer look also reveals that there are serious challenges, existing and looming, when it comes to grid management and in ensuring high standards of reliability. The only answer is stand-alone energy storage.
