Predictive Operation of Battery Energy Storage Systems: Beyond Predictive Maintenance

Dienstag, 23. Juni 2026, 14:30 - 16:00 Uhr

ICM München Room 13 A

Bitte beachten Sie, dass alle Konferenzsessions in englischer Sprache abgehalten werden. While predictive maintenance has become a well-known concept in battery energy storage, the next step is predictive operation. This approach aims not only to prevent failures, but also to continuously optimize system operation in real time. The goal is to maximize the performance, efficiency and lifetime of the existing hardware in each specific use case. Predictive operation extends beyond the battery cells themselves: Adaptive thermal management, intelligent inverter control and optimal coordination of power electronics all play a crucial role. By anticipating system behavior under different operating scenarios, predictive operation enables asset owners and operators to extract greater value from their storage systems while improving reliability and integration with renewable generation. This session will highlight the latest methods, control strategies and demonstration results that bring predictive operation from research into practice.
