Metro battery
A set of batteries that can chug a Metro train stranded inside a tunnel in the north-south corridor (Blue Line) to the nearest station during a power failure will be ready by May 2025, the carrier said on Sunday. The Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) will be installed at the sub-station near Central station, said an official. CESC supplies power to Metro Railway through sub-stations.
Once installed at Central sub-station, it can be used to power a train anywhere between Dum Dum and Tollygunge. In May 2024, the carrier had, through an open-bidding process, placed an order for the first such BESS unit with the Indian subsidiary of a Taiwanese power electronics company.
