Emerson reported July 21 that its Ovation Green supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) software is supporting Adani Green Energy Ltd.’s (AGEL) 3.55 gigawatt-hour (GWh) battery energy storage system (BESS) in Khavda, Gujarat, India. 

Reported to be the world’s largest, single-location, battery-storage deployment outside China, and among the fastest executed globally, this BESS project was developed by AGEL as part of its integrated renewable energy ecosystem. This project in Khavda was delivered in just 10 months from the start of onsite construction, setting a global benchmark for speed and scope in utility-scale energy storage.

AGEL is India’s largest renewable energy company with more than 20 gigawatts (GW) of operational, renewable-energy capacity. The company plans to add more than 10 GWh of battery storage in fiscal 2027, and scale up its battery storage portfolio to 50 GWh over the next five years, which is expected to strengthen grid resilience and accelerate renewable energy integration.

AGEL deployed Ovation Green SCADA and Ovation 4.0 software with OCR3000 controllers. This system orchestrates millions of datapoints across power conversion systems, battery management systems, high-voltage switchboards and grid remote terminal units, ensuring seamless integration, grid compliance and operational reliability. Most AGEL’s 3.55 GWh BESS project capacity is controlled by Emerson’s Ovation platform.

As a small yet critical part of AGEL’s large-scale project, Ovation control and SCADA software combines control and plant data in one integrated, scalable system. Seamless integration gives operators intuitive access to the information needed for maximizing output, maintaining grid stability, enhancing asset utilization and operational excellence, and ensuring safe operation.

“Emerson is proud to be part of India’s clean energy journey with Adani Green Energy,” says Anil Bhatia, Emerson’s VP and managing director for India. “Our Ovation automation platform has long been trusted for mission-critical control in India’s power sector. This successful gigawatt-scale deployment proves Ovation is the right platform for any kind of power generation, from traditional thermal plants to large-scale renewable storage.”
