PowerUp’s battery data analytics are now built into every new Socomec Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). Delivered through SoLive PRO BESS, Socomec’s digital monitoring platform, the analytics are included as part of the five years of standard monitoring Socomec now provides with every BESS it sells. The capability builds on PowerUp’s expertise, brought into Socomec Group through its acquisition in 2025.
Where conventional monitoring reports real-time status and alerts, the embedded advanced analytics apply algorithms to historical and live operating data to surface early signs of degradation, including State of Health, Remaining Useful Lifetime, and cell imbalance that sit outside the scope of conventional battery management systems. This visibility gives operators early information they can act on, helping them investigate sooner and avoid forced shutdowns. The same insight also shows how a system is being operated, supporting operators as they tune the parameters that sustain availability, recover usable capacity, and extend battery life. The result is lower operational risk and better performance from the same assets over their lifetime.
“Until now, advanced battery analytics were something C&I operators had to seek out and add on. Building them into every new Socomec system changes that. From day one, every customer gets the same early visibility into how their batteries are actually behaving, and the information they need to act before small deviations become real problems,” said Philippe De La Fortelle, Chief Revenue Officer at PowerUp.
How the Outputs Reach Each Customer
Every new Socomec system follows the same path from raw data to operator-facing insight, so each customer receives a consistent set of outputs at delivery. PowerUp’s analytics engine ingests live and historical data from the BESS through an API integration with SoLive PRO BESS, computes the KPIs, and returns them into the dashboards alongside Socomec’s real-time data in a single view.
Measurable Operational and Financial Outcomes
Used effectively, the analytics support actions that, according to Socomec, can extend battery lifetime by up to 20 percent, improve system availability by three to five percent annually, and make available up to 15 percent additional usable capacity. Together these gains reduce total cost of ownership, defer capital expenditure, and improve returns on energy storage investments. In some cases, lifetime extension can equate to a potential additional two to three years of operation, or savings of up to €230,000 per MWh over the asset’s lifetime.
