An international energy storage project was unveiled at the signing of a MOU between L&T Technology Services; Ontario based eCamion Inc, Ryerson University, Canada and Anna University, India.
The innovative project combines eCamion's modular storage solution with L&T Technology Services' Smart Inverter solution, designed with cutting edge technology for both Indian as well as global markets. Grid simulation and testing is conducted in Ontario by Ryerson University while the onsite integration and deployment will be managed by Anna University on the Tamil Nadu Generation & Distribution Company grid.
Benefits that will be tested include greater grid reliability and enhancement of renewable energy production on the electricity distribution system. The energy storage prototypes will be pursued for worldwide commercialization, with an emphasis on developing markets.
The project is the outcome of two years of discussion on collaborations between the partners. The Government of Ontario and the Government of India via Department of Science & Technology (DST) and Global Innovation Technology Alliance (GITA) is supporting the project through "Ontario – India" Research Initiative.
