The world's first-ever thermal battery plant was unveiled at Amaravati in Andhra Pradesh by the state’s Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu.
It was Manufactured by the Bharat Energy Storage Technology Private Limited (BEST).
The first-of-its-kind batteries will aim to boost renewable sources of energy production and reduce the dependence on non-renewable fossil fuel-based energy generation.
The technology, which will help in mitigating carbon emissions, is best suited for grid balancing and stabilizations.
The device, known as High Energy Density Storage (HEDS), is a technology that was invented and patented by Dr. Patrick Glenn in 2016.
