As we recently mentioned, the country <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/solar-energy-india-mb0163\/\">added more solar capacity<\/a> during the first half\u00a0 of 2017 than it did during all last year.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/Shp9JR\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ABB states<\/a> India witnessed more renewable energy capacity installed between April 2016 and March 2017 than coal-fired power generation additions for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, ABB India doubled its solar inverter manufacturing capacity in India and in 2015, it doubled its installed solar inverter installed base to 2GW just five months.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<br \/>\n<strong>UPDATE:<\/strong> Late last night, ABB India <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/Ay5gYJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">announced<\/a> it will be supplying solar inverters of varying capacities (5kW to 50kW) for projects at 750 Indian Railways stations in the north of the country. Indian Railways transports more than 23 million passengers each day, a number nearly equivalent to the total population of Australia. Indian Railways currently has a renewable energy portfolio of 36 MW capacity and plans to expand it to 1,000 MW.<br \/>\n&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>ABB solar inverters (formerly Power-One &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/aurora-inverters-sold-to-swiss-giant-for-a-cool-1billion\/\">ABB acquired Power-One in 2013<\/a>) have also been a popular choice here in Australia for small and commercial <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/solar101.html\">solar power systems<\/a>. ABB inverters supplied to the Australian market are manufactured in Italy. You can read <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/inverters\/abb-review.html\">ABB solar inverter reviews here<\/a> from Australian customers who have them installed.<\/p>\n<h2>More Than Solar Inverters<\/h2>\n<p>ABB isn&#8217;t just about inverters &#8211; it manufactures <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/9qaaSP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a wide range of electrical equipment<\/a> and provides other services. The company says its association with Australia dates back to the late nineteenth century.<\/p>\n<p>Among the larger Australian renewable energy projects where various ABB products have been used are Hervey Bay Hospital in Queensland (design, supply and install 266kW PV system), Collgar Wind Farm in Western Australia (switchgear units, transformers and electrical balance of plant)\u00a0 and the Perth Wave Energy Project, also in WA (process automation, electrical grid integration and data communication systems).<\/p>\n<p>ABB is also dabbling in large-scale energy storage. The company won an order from Denmark&#8217;s DONG Energy for the delivery of a two-megawatt Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) to support the Burbo Bank offshore windfarm. The project marks the first integration of a battery storage system for frequency response services at an offshore windfarm in the UK.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cEnergy storage is playing a key role in the evolution of the power network and is a strategic focus area to reinforce our position as a partner of choice for a stronger, smarter and greener grid,&#8221; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.abb.com\/cawp\/seitp202\/26d7024d07dc5558c125818c001cd83a.aspx\">said<\/a> Giandomenico Rivetti, Managing Director of ABB\u2019s High Voltage Products business unit.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Burbo Bank offshore wind farm is located on the Burbo Flats in Liverpool Bay.
