About Company

Climate Care is a boutique renewable energy consulting firm dedicated to helping major Independent Power Producers (IPPs) build GW-level renewable portfolios. With a 100% success rate in 2023, we’ve made a significant impact across over 20 geographies internationally through our bid advisory services.

We’ve supported companies in bidding for more than 4,000 MW of renewable tenders from central government entities such as SECI, NTPC, NHPC, and SJVN, leading to over 1,500 MW in successful project wins. Our approach combines complex financial modelling with a deep techno-commercial and policy understanding, focusing on areas like solar-wind hybrid, green hydrogen, RTC, and FDRE bids.

BESS Assembly

At Climate Care, our phased BESS assembly strategy is designed to de-risk execution, grow local capability, and drive down costs - implemented in three clear, stepwise phases:
 
Phase 1 — Assemble & Deploy) : import pre-manufactured, tested battery modules, PCS and BMS from Tier-1 suppliers; set up a lean integration facility for containerization (racks, PCS, transformers, HVAC, fire suppression) and develop Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) and commissioning competency; target anchor projects at ~2 GWh to establish credibility and grid-code expertise.
 
Phase 2 — Integrate & Innovate : move to CKD assembly by importing cells (LFP preferred) and building a semi-automated module line (cell grading, sorting, laser welding, slave-BMS integration); deepen local sourcing (transformers, switchgear, cables, enclosures) and develop a proprietary EMS tuned to Indian grid and market needs; aim to reduce LCOS by 15–20% and capture significant market share.
 
Phase 3 — Manufacture & Lead : pursue backward integration into multi-GWh cell manufacturing (via JV or licensing, leveraging PLI); achieve near-complete vertical integration to control the critical cell component; secure the lowest cost structure, maximum domestic value-addition, and market leadership.
 
Assembly Process & Key Machinery
The assembly line is designed for modularity and scalability.
 
Process Flow:

1. Inbound QC: Rigorous testing of incoming cells/modules (voltage, internal resistance, capacity sampling).

2. Module Assembly (Phase 2+): Automated cell sorting -> Laser/Ultrasonic busbar welding -> Slave BMS mounting -> Module casing.

3. Rack Integration: Mounting modules onto racks, connecting wiring harnesses, and communication cables (CAN bus).

4. Containerization:

  • Installation of racks using overhead cranes.
  • Integration of PCS, step-up transformer, switchgear, and control panels.
  • Installation of HVAC and fire suppression systems (e.g., Novec 1230 / FM-200).

5. System-Level FAT:

  • High-voltage system interlocking and safety checks.
  • End-to-end communication tests (BMS -> PCS -> EMS -> SCADA).
  • Controlled charge-discharge cycle tests using grid simulators or resistive/reactive load banks.
  • High-Potential (Hipot) insulation testing.
