In the quest for a sustainable energy future, ACCURE Battery Intelligence is leading the charge with innovative predictive monitoring and analytics solutions. Their platform aims to make all batteries worldwide safer, more sustainable, and more economical.

The heart of ACCURE's platform lies in its ability to optimize the performance and safety of stationary energy storage systems (ESS) during the energy transition. By providing early detection of degradation and safety risks, ACCURE enables smarter maintenance, extends battery life, and predicts failures months in advance.

This is achieved through the use of advanced AI-based tools that analyze real-time data beyond conventional raw metrics. These tools consider operational conditions and irregularities to assess state of health and safety accurately. This approach allows operators to make informed decisions, improving the overall efficiency of battery storage systems.

The platform integrates Internet of Things (IoT) and Industrial IoT (IIoT) data from sensors monitoring temperature, charge cycles, and energy output. This integration supports real-time performance insights, predictive maintenance scheduling, and reduced downtime, leading to improved reliability, enhanced safety, and longer asset lifespans.

One of the challenges in balancing battery systems, particularly with LFP cells, is irregular charging and discharging. However, ACCURE's platform is designed to handle such complexity, seamlessly integrating systems with mixed cell histories. Sodium-ion cells, with their steeper open-circuit voltage curve, are often easier to analyze, and ACCURE has had good experience with initial sodium-ion projects.

ACCURE's platform is also independent of whether it's first-life or second-life battery systems. They work with start-ups like Voltfang that use second-life batteries, demonstrating their commitment to sustainable practices.

Reliability and predictive monitoring are essential for battery storage systems, which face challenges such as failing to deliver expected output, aging faster than planned, and developing safety-critical conditions. ACCURE's platform takes cell type, age, and origin into account, providing a comprehensible safety score from green to red.

Dr. Georg Angenendt, the CTO and co-founder of ACCURE Battery Intelligence, leads the team in their mission to predict failures at an early stage, minimise risks, and optimize performance. ACCURE is ISO-certified, underlining their expertise in the secure handling of sensitive battery data.

Battery storage systems are crucial components for implementing the energy transition, stabilizing grids, balancing loads, and integrating renewables. By addressing these challenges, ACCURE Battery Intelligence is paving the way for a more flexible, resilient, and efficient energy system.

1. By integrating IoT and Industrial IoT data, ACCURE's platform aids in improving the efficiency of energy storage systems, not just in data-and-cloud-computing, but also in the finance and energy industries, as it enables real-time performance insights, predictive maintenance scheduling, and reduced downtime.
