Central Electricity Regulation Commission(CERC) recently released a Draft 'Ancillary Services Regulation'. Ancillary services refer to functions that help grid operators maintain a reliable electricity system(BESS etc).
According to letter found by us, Tesla has commented on the draft and has sent it's suggestions & comments.
We see this as a +ve sign from Tesla wrt India & hopefully we will soon see Tesla India Energy in action.
- "Tesla believes that a complete set of market design rules supporting, providing of all grid services battery storage can provide, is an essential prerequisite to achieving India’s vision to integrate over 450GW of renewable energy by 2030. "
-"The lessons learned from Tesla’s global engagements with market operators on batteries make it clear that for a large, complex grid such as in India’s, primary, secondary, and tertiary frequency control are “must-have tools” to ensure stability of the nation’s evolving power system."
-"Based on our global experience, the overarching aim for ancillary service design should be to use co-optimised, market-based procurement where possible, and where not possible, structured procurement approaches."
-"Market design should also try to enable new, lower-emission technologies to provide all ancillary services in addition to energy requirements and recognise that fast and flexible response is an increasingly important characteristic of a future energy system and should be valued as such."
-"Tesla supports the introduction of ‘pay for performance’ elements that incentivise, recognise, and reward the accuracy and speed of response characteristics from providers of Ancillary Services."
-"Tesla’s battery systems react automatically and almost instantaneously to locally measured changes in system frequency outside predetermined set points."
In the letter Tesla was continuously referring to it's Australia Hornsdale Battery System. The success of that battery is something that Tesla can show to anyone, building confidence in Tesla, as well as on how to do things regulation wise.
We are excited to see Tesla energy being an important of the Tesla India roadmap⚡️.
