Technology provider ABB has inaugurated a microgrid solution at its Vadodora manufacturing facility in Gujarat - said to be the first of its kind in India.
ABB has introduced a range of cloud connected, three-phase string inverter solutions for cost efficient decentralized photovoltaic systems that are claimed to reduce both upfront capital expenditures (capex) and operational expenditure (opex).
Technology provider ABB has partnered with Spanish IPPP ACCIONA that will see ABB provide its central inverter solutions for the 246MW El Romero Solar Plant in the Chilean desert.
The Railway Energy Management Company Limited (REMCL) has awarded 67MW of solar capacity for Indian Railways across India, and ABB India has been chosen by Azure Power to provide inverters to 750 train stations in North India.
India installed 5.5GW of utility-scale solar capacity in the last fiscal year and the country is expected to add another 8GW in the coming year, according to consultancy firm Bridge to India’s ‘India Solar Map’.
