Energy storage player Fluence Energy has announced the opening of a new global technology center in Bangalore.
The Fluence India Technology Centre supports the execution of the company’s global product strategy by growing engineering capabilities and scaling global talent and strengthens Fluence’s local presence in the country.
First in Asia
The Fluence India Technology Centre marks a significant milestone for Fluence, becoming the company’s first technology center based entirely in Asia. This complements existing technology teams in North America and Europe. Together, the company’s technology Center teams support Fluence’s regionally focused operational model and create a strong foundation for new product introductions and regionalized product support.
Enhancing product offerings
“With the launch of this technology Center, we will enhance our product offerings, engineering capabilities, and further demonstrate our core competencies in battery- based energy storage products and software,” said Fluence SVP & Chief Product Officer Rebecca Boll. “This team will be key to the expansion of our Generation-6 product line, which is delivering a range of critical grid services to customers around the world, as well as the creation of next generation products.”
Supporting global teams
Fluence’s team of technical experts in Bangalore will support the company’s global sales and growth objectives for all major product lines and enable flexibility and speed in product development. As the company’s largest global technology team, employees at the India Technology Centre are working in the areas of enclosure, battery, and inverter engineering, software quality assurance, product management, and more.
The technology center will also support the delivery of products to the Fluence India joint venture with ReNew Power and support the full lifecycle of their storage systems.
Flagship project
Fluence’s flagship battery-based energy storage project in India was deployed in 2019 at a Tata Power (TPDDL) substation in Delhi. The 10 MW/10 MWh project was developed by AES and Mitsubishi and is the largest energy storage system in South Asia.
