What does it take to use BESS to their maximum potential? In our series together with ju:niz we are talking about 'key players' in cell balancing. By the end of the series, we hope to have developed a winning team - just like Euro 2024 is finding the best European football team right now. 🏃♀️ Today's player is: Homogeneous Resistance ⚽ Position: Right Back 🔋 Bio: Stationed at right back, Homogeneous Resistance ensures that energy flows smoothly with minimal losses. This player's focus on reducing impedance variations across different components contributes to the overall efficiency and reliability of the system. 📝 Coaching Notes: Emphasize the importance of electrical consistency and preventive maintenance right from the game's start. Regular drills on system diagnostics and resistance balancing will enhance this player's effectiveness. Interested in the other players?

Soon, the EU Battery Regulations require certain batteries to have a digital battery passport. Some requirements on performance and durability reporting come into play in August already. TWAICE is part of the Battery Pass Consortium. The consortium helps guide the Battery Passport requirements. As part of our work in the consortium we advise on the performance & durability metrics such as State of Health. Our latest article summarizes the current landscape when it comes to the requirements for performance and durability data: https://lnkd.in/dK_Wzmjh — #TWAICE unleashes the full potential of batteries with battery analytics software #batteries #eu #batterypassport #batteryregulation

Cell balancing is an important aspect for using BESS to their maximum potential. In a series of posts together with TWAICE our hope is to develop a discussion about concepts and principles involved in cell balancing. 🏃♀️Todays Player is: Homogeneous Temperature ⚽ Position: Left Back 🔋 Bio: As the left back, Homogeneous Temperature plays a crucial role in maintaining a stable and balanced climate across the battery system. This player's ability to regulate and even out temperature variations ensures peak performance and prolongs the life of the system. 📝 Coaching Notes: Constant monitoring and quick reactions to thermal discrepancies are vital. Training should focus on thermal management techniques and real-time response strategies to maintain optimal conditions in every situation of the game. #batteries #bess #batterystorage #cellbalancing #energytransition

Peek into key insights from the events we attended in June 👇 🔋 TWAICE Batteries & Pretzels - Munich, DE 🔵 More investors are showing increased appetite for utility scale BESS: they appreciate the fact that it's a growth market. They are also looking at technology partners such as TWAICE and our insurance partners to mitigate and manage risk. 🔵 BESS integrators have recognized that the increasing number of installed BESS units is generating a substantial amount of O&M work, which is straining their service capacities. As a result, they are proactively reaching out to us. They seek our assistance in optimizing their O&M activities through battery analytics, which can enable predictive maintenance and improve overall efficiency. 🔋 The Smarter E - Munich, DE 🔵 Safety and availability are seen as the key focus areas. Overall, the event underscored a strong industry push towards more efficient, flexible, and sustainable energy storage solutions, addressing the needs of both residential and large-scale applications. 🔵 SoC imbalances are one of the key problems affecting the batteries potential. Our new Performance Manger helps to identify underperforming components and to maximize returns of our clients' battery storage systems. 🔋 The Battery Show EU & the Volta Foundation Battery Pub Happy Hour - Stuttgart, DE 🔵 Advances in battery testing, simulation, and digital twin technologies were a key focus, aimed at enhancing battery performance and reliability. 🔵 The development and scaling of prototype battery cells, along with robust testing and lifetime performance models, were emphasized as crucial for advancing battery technology. 🔋 Clean Buses USA - Washington, D.C. USA 🔵 Most fleets are very limited but plans for full electrification until 2030 to 2045 were voiced. 🔵 Customers were concerned about battery fires but mostly from the perspective of lacking standards and uncertainty associated with it. 🔋 ACP RECHARGE Energy Storage Summit - Portland, OR, USA 🔵 Project development are not slowed, capital is still flowing into project portfolio. Uncertainty around open tax credit questions does have a drag on capital. 🔵 Geopolitical concerns with batteries being a key economic input controlled largely by China. The IRA is encouraging lots of investment in both US battery production as well as downstream ESS product and project creation. There are also many concerns with shipping channel disruptions. — #TWAICE unleashes the full potential of batteries with battery analytics software #batteries #batterystorage #batteryanalytics #electricvehicles

The likelihood of thermal runaway events has dramatically decreased in recent years. Nevertheless, the severity of such events remains high. Battery analytics software can identify future safety issue before they spiral out of control. The software warns about risks well in advance, giving time to proactively mitigate any potential incidents.

In our series together with ju:niz we are talking about 'key players' in cell balancing. 🏃♀️ Today's player is: BMS Configuration ⚽ Position: Defensive Midfield 🔋 Bio: BMS Configuration is the tactical brain of the team, constantly analyzing and adjusting the settings to optimize overall performance. Known for its ability to read the game and anticipate the needs of each cell, this player ensures the battery system is always running at peak efficiency. 📝 Coaching Notes: Mastery of the technical details and a robust strategy are essential for this player. As the central hub of communication, BMS Configuration must seamlessly integrate feedback from all other players to prevent performance dips and ensure longevity. Interested in the other players?
