Title: Cummins India Expands Product Portfolio with Battery Energy Storage Systems
Cummins India has announced the launch of its Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), marking a significant expansion of its sustainable solutions portfolio. This move aligns with the company's Destination Zero strategy, which aims to support India's clean energy transition and strengthen the reliability of the country's power infrastructure [1].
The BESS is designed to address the energy transition requirements of key industries such as manufacturing, data centers, commercial realty, and mining. By enabling seamless integration of clean, renewable, and intermittent energy sources like solar and wind with the existing power infrastructure, these systems allow customers to maximize renewable energy use and optimize energy costs through peak shaving and energy shifting.
Shveta Arya, Managing Director of Cummins India Limited, commented on the launch, stating, "India's energy mix is undergoing a significant transformation, driven by ambitious climate commitments, rapid adoption of renewables, and a national focus on clean and inclusive growth. At Cummins, we recognize this pivotal moment as an opportunity to innovate with purpose. Our Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) is a crucial enabler in this transition. It offers a reliable, scalable, and sustainable foundation for the energy ecosystem of tomorrow. Through this launch, we are proud to support India's journey towards net-zero emissions by 2070 and power possibilities for generations to come."
In addition to the BESS launch, Cummins India continues to innovate within its power systems segment. The company has recently expanded its Centum Series generator sets with the introduction of a 17-liter engine platform generator set that produces up to 1 megawatt of power. This new model, the S17 Centum genset, is designed to meet the growing demands of power in urban environments where compact design and high performance are critical [2].
The S17 Centum genset is the result of over 25,000 hours of testing and validation, ensuring its reliability and efficiency. It is engineered to support a wide range of critical market segments, including commercial properties, healthcare facilities, and water treatment plants. The new dual turbo S17 engine leverages cutting-edge proprietary design tools and proven methodologies to deliver up to 1000kW, offering unparalleled precision and compliance with emission standards.
