VSSC wins first prize for innovative energy storage device

The Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC) won first prize in the National Energy Efficiency Innovation Awards (NEEIA-2022) for the development of the Lithium Supercapattery, an innovative energy storage device. President Droupadi Murmu presented the award to the VSSC in New Delhi on Wednesday. S.A. Ilangovan, Deputy Director, VSSC, received the prize on behalf of the ISRO facility.The VSSC team also won third prize in the same category for ‘Supercapacitors for Space Transportation,’ another energy storage device developed by VSSC.Batteries, especially lithium-based rechargeable cells, offer high energy density but are not yet efficient enough to deliver power. On the other hand, conventional supercapacitors offer high power density and long cycle life but lacks adequate energy storage. The Lithium Supercapattery offers the advantages of the Lithium battery and supercapacitors to…
