DG (Diesel Genset) Avoidance
Batteries can reduce or completely eliminate the need to run diesel generators (DG sets) during power outages, leading to fuel cost savings of multiple order.
Example:
A facility running on DG cost of INR 30-35 per kWh can be reduced to less than 1/3rd by utilising BESS with a run time of upto 4 hours.
Value Created:
- Fuel cost savings (diesel is expensive and volatile)
- Lower O&M costs vs DG maintenance
- Reduced carbon emissions and air pollution
- Instant backup power (milliseconds vs DG startup delay)
