Optimizing Battery and Energy Management Systems for Enhanced Availability and Performance

Availability is the primary focus for predictive operations in battery and energy management systems, as it has a direct impact on revenue. Detecting anomalies in critical factors like temperature and HVAC is essential to prevent significant losses. A fragmented view among stakeholders complicates the pursuit of optimal performance, underscoring the need for collaboration to align goals and maximize market revenue. The integration of advanced algorithms in Energy Management Systems (EMS) improves operational efficiency and manages thermal stress, but a unified view across diverse systems is necessary for effective management. Standardization and data integration are critical challenges, with current practices only achieving 11% effectiveness. Accurate predictive models and real-time data access enhance optimization efforts, while the importance of human expertise in technical asset management cannot be overstated. Manufacturers must focus on long-term support and work closely with operators to ensure reliability, highlighting the essential balance between technology and expertise in achieving sustained performance.

Talk of session: Predictive Operation of Battery Energy Storage Systems: Beyond Predictive Maintenance

While predictive maintenance has become a well-known concept in battery energy storage, the next step is predictive operation. This approach aims not only to prevent failures, but also to continuously optimize system operation in real time. The goal is to maximize the performance, efficiency and lifetime of the existing hardware in each specific use case. Predictive operation extends beyond the battery cells themselves: Adaptive thermal management, intelligent inverter control and optimal coordination of power electronics all play a crucial role. By anticipating system behavior under different operating scenarios, predictive operation enables asset owners and operators to extract greater value from their storage systems while improving reliability and integration with renewable generation. This session will highlight the latest methods, control strategies and demonstration results that bring predictive operation from research into practice.
