India’s First Vanadium Flow Battery Launched at NTPC
New Delhi. India today achieved a significant milestone in its clean energy transition by commissioning the nation's first MWh-scale Vanadium Redox Flow Battery (VRFB) system. Power Minister Manohar Lal officially inaugurated the 3 MWh facility at NTPC NETRA (NTPC Ltd's R&D centre) in Greater Noida. This installation immediately establishes India’s largest vanadium flow battery system and marks a crucial step in advancing indigenous long-duration energy storage (LDES) technologies. Minister Lal visited the NTPC NETRA campus, reviewing the advanced energy research, accompanied by Power Secretary Pankaj Agarwal, Additional Secretary Piyush Singh, and NTPC CMD Gurdeep Singh.
India’s First Vanadium Flow Battery: Advancing Storage Solutions
The introduction of the vanadium redox flow battery technology creates a new pathway for long-duration energy storage. It is essential for managing the inherent variability of renewable power generation, such as solar and wind energy. Unlike traditional lithium-ion systems, vanadium flow batteries utilise liquid electrolytes, enabling them to store energy for extended periods. This design offers a longer life cycle, enhanced safety features, and simplified scalability. The Minister emphasised that the project propels the nation toward robust LDES solutions, substantially enhancing renewable energy integration and promoting stronger grid resilience.
