Battery energy storage systems (BESS) ensure grid stability and align supply with demand by storing surplus energy during periods of abundance and discharging it only when needed.
But they require a lot of monitoring: individual battery cells vary in quality and age, and these cell imbalances increase stress on the system. This leads to wasted energy and increased downtime. At the same time, regulators are paying attention and developing safety standards that apply to battery storage and the risks involved. In this webinar, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of how analytics can help you identify and mitigate battery performance and safety risks along the entire lifecycle, from design over commissioning & operation to de-commissioning.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• De-risk deployment and operators of BESS from design over commissioning & operation to de-commissioning
• Why monitoring battery systems with advanced analytics is so important
• How to identify issues with your system early on
• How to optimize BESS performance
• Industry best practices and emerging trends

Battery Selection Tutorial Course 1/3: Selecting your Cell and Cell Manufacturer(s)
After designing your product, you need to ensure the battery with which you are operating it will ensure the right performance and lifetime. When deciding this, narrowing down which chemistry (e.g. Li-ion, lithium primary, NiMH, etc.) best fits your product and which form factor are some of the first steps. Choosing a cell design (high-power vs. high-energy, for example) is another step and finally, finding the right cell manufacturer to fabricate your cells and packs. This webinar is the first in a three-part series on designing the right battery for your product. It will cover many of the key differences in chemistries, form factors, and cell designs and other best practices.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Choosing the right chemistry for your application
• Choosing the right form factor
• Choosing cell designs (e.g. high power vs. high-energy)Presenter

Battery Ageing – How Modeling is Used to Predict Battery Life
Battery modeling and simulation makes it possible to analyze multiple operating conditions and design parameters for batteries and other electrochemical systems and processes. By developing mathematical models you can begin to understand the interaction of electrochemical and chemical processes in the battery and how these processes affect the performance and life of the battery.
In this presentation, we will take a look at the benefits of modeling and simulation in the design, selection, and operation of a lithium-ion battery. We will especially take a look at how modeling can be used together with testing. These results provide manufacturers and application experts with the data to not only predict battery life but to analyze the implications of design parameters and operating conditions to better understand the limitation of the battery.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Benefits of modeling and simulations in the design, selection, and operation of a lithium-ion battery
• Implications of design parameters and operating conditions with respect to experimental observations of battery performance, aging, and battery safety
• How battery modeling can be used together with testingPresenter

Energy Storage RTE Tutorial Course 1/3: What is Round Trip Efficiency (RTE)? Why is it Important? How Much Does it Cost?
In the first of this three-part webinar series, a definition of RTE will be presented along with simple system equations that are important to its understanding, determination and management. RTE for some popular battery systems i.e. Lead Acid, Lithium Ion, Vanadium Redox and Nickel Zinc will be computed as examples, and their variation with common variables such as rate, capacity variability & SOC swing will be discussed. The costs of Round Trip inefficiency can be significant, and are experienced by customers either in higher energy generating capital costs and/or higher operating expenses. The calculation of these higher costs will be reviewed, and there will be a discussion on the key industry variables that influence them. Different geographic and customer markets will be considered.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• The Importance of RTE to battery selection decisions
• How does RTE impact CAPEX and/or OPEX for energy storage
• How is RTE defined and how can it be derived – comparison of different systems
• An introduction to ancillary equipment energy lossesPresenter
