Following the acquisition, in May 2017, of Greensmith Energy Management Systems Inc, a market leader in grid-scale energy storage software and integrated solutions, Wärtsilä Energy Solutions has become a leading global system integrator, providing both stand-alone energy storage as well as hybridized 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.
Javier Cavada Camino, President, Energy Solutions, and EVP of Wärtsilä Corporation, said, “Adding energy storage technology enables customers to have instant power while saving fuel and maintenance costs. The growing capacity of renewable generation, including solar PV, becomes more sustainable and attractive when integrated with advanced energy storage.”
