Open Access Applications & Connectivity Integration of CTUIL through NSWS!

In a recent development of CTUIL (Central Transmission of Utility India Limited), the firm has now successfully integrated the filing of applications for granting connectivity, long and medium-term open access to ISTS (interstate transmission system) in India, along with other participating and interested entities in the neighboring countries through the aid of National Single Window System Portal (NSWS).

NWSW is responsible and works for enabling single-point clearances and approvals as needed by the investors, businesses and entrepreneurs in India. And thereby, it promotes and facilitates the ease and smooth business initiatives taken by the Ministry of Power. NSWS is considered to be a giant leap in the endeavor of making India Aatamanirbhar.

It is a digital portal that works to provide the right guidance to business investors for getting and applying for approvals as per their unique and different business requirements. With this to offer, this digital platform is now taken as a one-stop-shop solution for getting guidance on all things relating to approvals and clearances.

Battery Swapping Policy Draft Released By Niti Aayog

Niti Aayog, a government think tank, unveiled a draught battery swapping policy on 20 April 2022. The draught document is now out for public review, and Niti Aayog is accepting feedback on it until June 5th.

In this respect, Niti Aayog reportedly had an inter-ministerial conference in the month of February 2022 in order to establish a strong and all-encompassing battery-swapping policy framework. This information comes from an official announcement.

According to the policy, all metropolitan cities with a population of more than 40 lakh would be given priority for the creation of a battery swapping network during the first phase. The proposed legislation states that cars with swappable batteries would be allowed to be sold without the battery initially installed, which will result in cheaper purchase prices for prospective owners of electric vehicles.

Given the significance of the two-wheeler and three-wheeler vehicle markets in developing cities, the Aayog said in the draught policy that the second phase would include coverage of all important cities, including state capitals, UT headquarters, and cities with populations more than 5 lakh.

In her Budget speech for 2022-23, the Finance Minister announced that the Central Government would be introducing a battery swapping policy and interoperability standards in order to improve the efficacy of the electric vehicle (EV) ecosystem. This was done in consideration of the limited space available in urban areas for the installation of charging stations on a large scale.

According to what was said, any person or organization is allowed to establish a battery switching station at any place, provided that the technical, safety, and performance criteria that were mentioned are adhered to.

In addition to this, a comprehensive pre-draft stakeholder discussion was undertaken with a broad variety of stakeholders including battery swapping operators, battery manufacturers, vehicle original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), financial institutions, think tanks, and other specialists.

What is Battery Swapping System?

Smaller cars, such as two-wheelers and three-wheelers, are common candidates for battery switching since their batteries are more manageable and less cumbersome to replace than those found in larger automotive sectors, which may have the same functionality physically applied.

Battery switching creates a level playing field for the implementation of forward-thinking and environmentally conscious business models, such as “Battery as a Service.”

A different option is to switch out depleted batteries with fully charged replacements, which is referred to as “battery swapping.” By decoupling the cost of the vehicle from the cost of the fuel (in this example, the battery), battery switching may result in a decrease in the initial cost of automobiles.

As long as each interchangeable battery is put to good use, battery switching provides a number of significant benefits in comparison to charging, including a reduction in the amount of time needed, a reduction in the amount of space required, and a reduction in the amount of money spent.

Ez4EV Innovates ‘Zero Carbon’- A Green Energy EV Charging Solutions

Decentralized, clean power-producing platforms employing solar, CBG, and CNG have been developed by Ez4EV Pvt Ltd (easy-for-electric cars), an energy management firm and creator of unique EV charging systems. In order to maximize the battery system’s full potential, Ez4EV provides distributed energy management services. Resilience, load shifting, demand charger management, and charging as a service are just a few of the options available.

To solve grid limits, Ez4EV’s EzUrja Static (proprietary battery-integrated EV charger technology) incorporates charging infrastructure, the power grid, and energy storage into one compact and integrated system. In combination with EzUrja’s BESS-based EzUrja, CNG Stations and CGDs are employed to offer localized power input. There is no longer any worry regarding the vehicle’s range as a result of this.

Ashok Kapoor is Ez4EV Group’s, Chief Executive Officer. “Our objective was to offer clean, regulated, and at-ease charging service for all EV owners,” he said in a statement. Products and services tailored to your specific needs will be available via our in-house developed platform. We have 75 service centres around the nation to help us out.

Fast AC-DC and DC-DC electric vehicle chargers (up to 240 kW) and energy storage systems for Make-in-India are among the products that Ez4EV plans to market via its joint venture, EzPyramid Energies Pvt Ltd. The Indian Railways are a major customer of Pyramid’s heavy-duty UPS, solar inverters, and inverters. E-mobility technology in India and throughout the world has been greatly aided by this joint venture.

Over 300 EzUrja mobile ultrafast battery-integrated EV charging systems, over 100 EzUrja static solar/CBG/CNG integrated EV charging systems, and over 10,000 ultrafast static EV chargers (60 kWh–240 kWh) are all part of the company’s long-term goals for electric vehicle charging.

EzPyramid’s unique Powertronics, EV chargers, and switching technology are all part of the EzUrja Mobile EV Charger solution. This charger can provide anywhere from 50 to 250 kWh of power. You may charge four cars at once using the GBT/CCS1/CCS2 or CHAdeMO (if necessary) connections.

SJVN Awards 1,000 MW Solar EPC Contract to Tata Power Solar

Green Urja Conclave

Tata Power Solar Systems Ltd. has been awarded a Letter of Award (Letter of Award) by SJVN for the engineering, procurement, and construction of a 1,000 MW solar project in Bikaner, according to Nand Lal Sharma (the Chairman and Managing Director of SJVN). According to Sharma, this is the biggest solar EPC deal in India’s history.

To develop a 1,000 MW solar power plant in Bikaner, Rajasthan, state-run SJVN Ltd selected Tata Power Solar Systems Ltd. The overall cost of building and development of the project was Rs 5,491.89 crore.

First-year output will be 2,454.55 million units, and over the course of 25 years, it will total 56,838.32 million units. Over the course of 25 years, this project will cut greenhouse gas emissions by about 27,85,077 tonnes. By May 2024, the project will be operational.

The recent purchase of solar projects has enabled SJVN’s Shared goal of 5000 MW in 2023, 25000MW in 2030, and 50000MW in 2040. There is an EPC contract that includes the whole delivery of the commissioned SJVN solar power plant, including the arrangement of a site, the power evacuation system to ISTS Substation, and three years of solar PV plant operations/maintenance. India’s aim of 500GW non-fossil fuel energy capacity and a decrease in overall carbon emissions by one million tonnes by 2030 will be met with this project.

According to the CPSE Scheme (central government sector enterprise), SJVN was awarded the 1,000 MW solar power project after a competitive bidding procedure.

SJVN’s portfolio is continually being expanded to include more capacity. Currently, SJVN has over 31,000 MW of power plants. Hydro, thermal wind, solar, and solar are all used by the SJVN to produce electricity. As a result, it has also branched out into the transmission and trading of electricity.
