China’s Narada Power Secures 1.4G Wh Energy Storage Order in India

No Transmission Charges On BESS, PSPs Till June 28: Govt

China-based Narada Power recently signed an energy storage (ESS) order with a large-scale independent power producer (IPP) in India, said China’s Energy Solar Association in a release. Narada Power secured the recent order to supply a 1.4GWh energy storage system for a major new energy photovoltaic project in India, it added.

This organization said, “This project ranks among India’s largest standalone energy storage projects. Driven by global energy transition and policy incentives, India’s renewable energy sector is rapidly expanding, with its corresponding energy storage market experiencing accelerated growth. Located in a tropical climate zone characterized by extreme summer heat, the project demands exceptionally high heat dissipation performance and long-term stability from the energy storage system.”

Technology Used

The organization gave a brief about the technology used in the project, “Narada’s liquid-cooled energy storage system employs a multi-stage variable-diameter liquid cooling pipeline design to maintain a uniform temperature distribution and enhance heat dissipation efficiency. Simultaneously, its dual liquid cooling system backup technology provides continuous operation when one cooling unit fails, maintaining stable battery performance.”

It further explained, “For the project’s high-temperature environment, Narada uses the electrochemical architecture, structure, and manufacturing processes of battery cells. Through this application of SNS low heat generation technology, the system reduces operational temperature rise and achieves systematic internal heat control, particularly suited for high-rate charging/discharging scenarios.”

Sharing details about the project, the organization mentioned, “The system integrates Narada’s self-developed and manufactured energy storage BMS. Its components meet automotive-grade reliability standards, delivering precision and high-temperature performance. This enables effective active balancing during operation, thereby improving system consistency.”

It added, “Furthermore, key components achieve an IP67 protection rating. Combined with multi-layered safety designs, the system can withstand high temperatures and sandstorms, ensuring long-term secure and reliable operation. Upon completion, the project is expected to enhance local renewable energy output stability and grid regulation capabilities. Thus, Narada’s liquid-cooled energy storage systems aim to meet long-duration, high-intensity application demands globally.”

Note- The deal underscores the critical role for China, and Chinese firms in the energy storage domain, even as the dependability of Chinese supplies has taken a hit in recent months with the arbitrary restrictions used by the Chinese government. It remains to be seen if they continue to hurt India in the short term, and their own long term credibility, by being as unpredictable on energy storage supplies as well.
