Increasing Battery Safety and Performance

Case Study: Custom in-situ cell sensors for utility-scale energy storage that maximize battery capacity without compromising cell size, pack costs, or manufacturer warranties

Key challenges and obstacles faced by our customer:

Precise monitoring needs

More precise battery monitoring – that was the goal of a leading North American provider of scalable energy storage systems. The solution needed to complement existing thermistor temperature data with high-resolution measurements taken in real-time directly at cell level.

Real-time data

This real operational data allows maximum utilization of the temperature limits specified by the cell manufacturer. Warranty claims remain intact while increasing usable cell capacity without changing cell size or pack costs.
Solar panels, wind power plants and some trees are grouped around a stationary energy storage plant

Physical integration

Physical integration of on-cell sensors into existing battery pack design.

Data management

Robust data management and BMS connectivity for reliable communication.

Scalability

Scalable and adaptable solution that integrates into existing product lines.
