Honeywell Automation India (HAIL) has successfully commissioned a microgrid battery energy and storage system (BESS) in India, for the Solar Energy Corporation of India’s (SECI) Lakshadweep Islands project.

For this project, Honeywell is supplying its energy management system (EMS)/microgrid controller and power plant controller to manage the distribution of renewable energy, as well as a range of BESS sub-systems.

The initiative marks the first non-containerised BESS, approved by SECI, and integrates advanced Energy Management Systems (EMS) with LEDA’s Distribution Generation Microgrid. Honeywell delivered the end-to-end solution to SunSource Energy, a solar company for its contract from SECI

Honeywell’s BESS technology includes an end-to-end solution which controls automation, safety, and efficiency aspects with a facility to render remote operations for battery modules and grid management systems.
