India’s NTPC (beforehand the Nationwide Thermal Energy Company) has launched its first 160 megawatt hours (MWh) CO₂ battery vitality storage undertaking, to be developed by Triveni Turbine and its vitality companion Power Dome.
The undertaking might be executed on a turnkey foundation at NTPC’s Kudgi plant in Karnataka, India.
The initiative aligns with NTPC’s technique to diversify its vitality portfolio and improve renewable energy era.
The adoption of CO₂ battery expertise additionally helps India’s “Make in India” and “Atmanirbhar” (self-sufficiency) insurance policies, providing alternatives for the home industrial provide chain and potential international exports.
Power Dome founder and CEO Claudio Spadacini acknowledged: “One of the best tasks are people who create win-win alternatives. Our collaboration with Triveni Generators and NTPC to deploy the CO₂ battery achieves this by advancing NTPC’s decarbonisation objectives and round the clock energy supply whereas strengthening India’s native provide chain by means of home sourcing.
“This undertaking not solely demonstrates the potential of sustainable innovation but in addition establishes a key international reference for our transformative expertise, contributing to a cleaner and extra resilient vitality future.”
Power Dome’s expertise employs a closed thermodynamic cycle that fees by drawing carbon dioxide from a dome gasholder. The carbon dioxide is saved beneath strain and dispatched by evaporating. The gasoline then expands by means of a turbine producing electrical energy earlier than returning to the gasholder.
NTPC chairman and managing director Gurdeep Singh acknowledged: “It is a landmark improvement within the area of long-duration vitality storage. NTPC is proud to be within the expertise forefront and arrange the CO₂ battery at NTPC Kudgi”.
He went on to say that “with a number of benefits viz very lengthy lifetime (greater than 25 years), no want of crucial minerals viz lithium, cobalt, topography agnostic, minimal efficiency degradation – in contrast to BESS [battery energy storage systems] the place intricate electrochemistry is concerned, very excessive depth of discharge (100%) – profitable demonstration of this expertise shall open new vistas within the discipline {of electrical} vitality storage.”
“160MWh CO₂ battery undertaking awarded to Triveni Turbine and Power Dome” was initially created and revealed by Power Technology, a GlobalData owned model.
