What is the outlook for long-duration energy storage (LDES)? ⚡ ⏳ 🔋 Today, Li-ion #batteries account for over 90% of global installed BESS capacity but mostly focusing on short duration applications of about two to four hours. 🌊 Long-duration energy storage, usually considered to have more than 8 hours capacity, is still in early stages: 88.5% of LDES projects have not yet started operations. Apart of pumped-hydro which has been around for decades, alternative technologies haven't been economically viable due to high costs and low demand for long-duration storage. 🌥 🌬 With lowering costs of batteries and increasing penetration of renewables, the outlook for LDES is changing. Countries start to include longer-duration storage in their national energy strategies (e.g. Italy) to address intermittency and ensure grid reliability. The use case of LDES could be when both wind and solar are unavailable for several days. 💶 Still, Li-ion batteries may never be cheap enough to become the go-to technology for multi-day storage. Alternatives include compressed air energy storage (CAES), liquid air energy storage, sodium-ion or flow batteries. Further investments in these technologies are needed to prepare them for commercial scale when the need for LDES arises. Long-duration storage will also need new business models and control strategies.

Professionals in charge of commercial energy operations face a complex and ever-evolving landscape. While the profit potential is significant, the behind-the-scenes challenges can be equally complex. Integration challenges: Integrating assets with optimizers, reserve control centers, and trading applications can be time-consuming. The lack of readily available expertise and resources for setting up secure communication protocols also slows the process. Data Infrastructure: Developing a reliable and secure infrastructure for crucial time-series data, like operational schedules, is a huge technical undertaking. This challenge is further compounded when dealing with separate infrastructures for FCR/aFRR and trading, especially for multi-market optimization. Navigating Warranty Constraints: Performance warranty constraints are a constant enigma. Accurately tracking and forecasting them requires a deep understanding of battery technology and sophisticated analytics beyond standard monitoring or asset management software capabilities. Modeling Mishaps: Simple battery operational models often paint an inaccurate picture of real-world performance. This leads to critical blind spots, like the inability to determine true AC-side usable capacity or anticipate limitations caused by State of Charge (SoC) degradation over time. Short-Term Gains vs. Long-Term Losses: Optimization prioritizes short-term profits over long-term ROI without understanding the impact of operational decisions on battery degradation and lifespan. This not only undermines sustainable practices but also hinders the overall profitability potential. The good news? These challenges don't have to be your reality. Innovative solutions can help you streamline operations, optimize performance, and make informed decisions for a sustainable future. In the comments below, tell us about the challenges you face! And, get in touch to learn how Cellect can help you optimize for both short-term profit and long-term success.

Stationary battery storage is a key player in the renewable energy future. These systems help balance the grid and enable wider adoption of clean power while handling curtailment. However, with great power comes great responsibility! As battery storage becomes more prominent, ensuring the security of these systems is crucial. The first step to a secure system is a strong foundation. ISO 27001 certification is a globally recognized standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). This certification ensures data protection through confidentiality, integrity, and availability. By requiring your software service provider to hold this certification, you can rest assured that they prioritize data security and follow strict protocols to safeguard sensitive information. ✅ Beyond ISO 27001, here are some additional security aspects to consider for your software architecture: ✅ Access Control: Limit who can access the system and what they can do by requiring strong passwords (multi-factor authentication) and assigning different levels of access (user roles and permissions). ✅ Data Encryption: Protect sensitive information (data at rest and in transit) with encryption and secure communication protocols. ✅ Vulnerability Management: Keep the software up-to-date (patching and updating) and identify weaknesses (penetration testing) to fix them before attackers can exploit them. ✅ Physical Security: Secure the physical location of the battery system and IT equipment to prevent unauthorized access. ✅ Auditing and Logging: Track activity (audit logs) to identify suspicious behavior and security incidents. ✅ Incident Response: Have a plan for what to do in case of a security breach (incident response plan) and practice it regularly. ✅ Disaster Recovery: Make sure the system can be recovered in case of an outage (disaster recovery plan), including restoring data backups. At Cellect, we take immense pride in providing safe, secure, and highly efficient solutions to make battery systems not only profitable but as well reliable and safe. We follow strict security protocols to safeguard sensitive data, giving you peace of mind.

Let's picture a scenario where: Asset managers identify peak energy demand periods and generate revenue by selling energy back to the grid – without conflicting with planned maintenance. O&M teams receive real-time data on asset health, allowing for predictive maintenance and reduced downtime. Both teams work together with shared visibility on operational schedules and asset performance, fostering collaboration and eliminating friction. 🚀 This is the power of unified data in energy storage. Cellect's secure, centralized Platform bridges the gap between asset managers and O&M teams. It acts as a central hub, collecting real-time operational data on your energy storage system. User-friendly modules provide clear insights into your standalone or co-located energy storage systems. Additionally, Cellect Platform is a supplier-independent, technology-agnostic solution. This translates to flexibility and freedom for you, enabling seamless integration with various energy storage technologies and third-party software. 📩 Curious? Get in touch with Hedy or Olivier to see how Cellect Platform can optimize operations, reduce costs, and increase profitability for your energy storage system.
