Emerson Software Powers Indias Largest Battery Energy Storage System

In July 2026, Emerson announced that its Ovation Green supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) software is powering operations at Adani Green Energy Limited’s (AGEL) 3.55 gigawatt-hour (GWh) Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in Khavda, Gujarat. The project is recognized as the world’s largest single-location battery energy storage deployment outside China and also represents a significant milestone in India’s clean energy transition. Developed as part of AGEL’s integrated renewable energy ecosystem, the project also ranks among the fastest utility-scale battery storage installations completed globally.

As India’s largest renewable energy company, Adani Green Energy Limited currently operates more than 20 gigawatts (GW) of renewable energy capacity. Looking ahead, the company aims to expand its operational portfolio to 50 GW by 2030. In addition, AGEL plans to commission over 10 GWh of battery storage during FY2027 and scale its battery storage capacity to 50 GWh over the next five years. This ambitious expansion will strengthen grid resilience, improve renewable energy integration, and support India’s growing clean energy requirements.

AGEL selected Emerson as its automation partner for this flagship project, deploying Ovation Green SCADA together with the Ovation 4.0 software release and OCR3000 controllers. The automation platform coordinates millions of data points across Power Conversion Systems (PCS), Battery Management Systems (BMS), High-voltage switchboards, and Grid Remote Terminal Units (RTUs). As a result, the system ensures seamless equipment integration, grid compliance, operational reliability, and high-performance energy management. Notably, the majority of the project’s 3.55 GWh battery storage capacity is managed through Emerson’s Ovation platform.

Impact on the Chemicals Market

At the heart of this particular project is Emerson’s Ovation Green SCADA software, which delivers advanced supervisory control, real-time monitoring, and comprehensive data management through a single integrated platform. The scalable automation system provides operators with instant access to critical operational data, enabling them to maximize energy output, maintain grid stability, improve asset utilization, enhance operational efficiency, and ensure safe and reliable plant operations. By integrating control and plant-wide data into one platform, this particular system simplifies complex energy storage operations while supporting dependable power delivery.

One of the project’s most remarkable achievements is its execution speed. The 3.55 GWh BESS facility at Khavda was completed within just 10 months from the start of on-site construction, setting a new global benchmark for rapid deployment of utility-scale battery energy storage systems. Furthermore, Emerson’s Ovation platform combines advanced automation with large-scale data processing in a unified, scalable architecture. Consequently, the system helps maximize renewable energy output, maintain grid reliability, and support uninterrupted delivery of clean electricity.

Impact on the Battery Energy Storage System Market

The global battery energy storage system market size is calculated at USD 10.16 billion in 2025 and is predicted to increase from USD 12.90 billion in 2026 to approximately USD 102.69 billion by 2035, expanding at a solid CAGR of 26.03% over the forecast period 2026 to 2035.

According to Precedence Research, the market is witnessing substantial growth owing to various factors and is anticipated to continue its growth rate over the forecasted years. Major attributions to this growth are the inclination towards sustainable and renewable energy products, the necessity of grid stability, and technological advancement for energy preservation, which has fueled the growth of the market globally.

The demand for electricity grid peak-shaving and reliability enhancement, especially in urban and industrial electricity grids globally, is growing rapidly as huge efforts are being made to modernize electricity grids to accommodate increased amounts of renewable energy and storage to smooth out their intermittency. Policy support subsidies and carbon neutrality goals are helping to enable significant battery storage installations around the world, as batteries are being used for grid stability projects and solutions to integrate renewables into the utility market. More widespread deployment of battery-solar wind or battery-diesel hybrid energy storage solutions is further helping in boosting energy resilience in the microgrid development and off-grid electrification of remote and industrial applications, essential to the distributed energy transition at a global level.

Impact on the Commercial and Industrial Battery Storage Market

The global commercial and industrial battery storage market is growing rapidly due to rising energy demand, grid stability needs, and renewable integration worldwide. The market is driven by rising energy costs, increasing grid reliability requirements, and the need for integrating renewable energy sources.

According to Precedence Research, the growing adoption of advanced battery technologies, such as improved lithium-ion and new battery chemistries, coupled with intelligent energy management systems, is significantly enhancing the performance, scale, and payback of energy storage solutions. Innovations in battery technologies, particularly improvements in lithium-ion batteries and the development of solid-state batteries and flow batteries, are enhancing energy density, efficiency, and lifespan. These advancements are making battery storage solutions more affordable, scalable, and suitable for diverse commercial and industrial applications.

As electricity prices increase and grid reliability becomes more unpredictable in today’s day and age, commercial and industrial sectors are increasingly adopting battery storage systems in order to ensure energy independence. This is because these systems allow businesses to store energy from renewable sources like solar or wind, ensuring a stable power supply even during grid outages or high-demand periods.
