The true cost of BESS anomalies. The true value of battery analytics: Part two

So, how much money does battery analytics really save you? What energy do you lose from battery anomalies, and more importantly how does this impact on your yearly BESS revenues?

PowerUp has developed a series of three deep-dive white papers detailing anomalies occurring in real-life battery assets and has extrapolated this historical intelligence to the corresponding commercial sales data.

In this, the second of three analyses developed using real-life technical data and commercial sales intelligence, we look at anomalies which lead to loss of service through rack or container shutdowns. In this informative white paper we describe each case study in detail to explain the potential impact of real-life anomalies in terms of safety, whilst illustrating how they affected production and revenue for the BESS asset manager in real terms.

A snapshot of what “Impacts of anomalies on uptime and safety” will cover:

• What are hotspots? And how do they lead to high resistance, overheating and even potential thermal runaways?
• How cell imbalance led to an undervoltage event which caused a 40-day service interruption.
• How one faulty sensor could directly lead to two months’ lost revenue.
• The importance of staying cool: The financial cost of an HVAC failure which caused an 11-day service interruption.
