Battling Revenue Erosion: Sharper SOC Accuracy Can Lift BESS Earnings by 11 %

For lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) batteries—now powering more than 80 % of new BESS builds—SOC error margins of 10-20 % points are routine because LFP’s flat voltage profile makes precise measurements tricky.

Inspection of critical infrastructure using intelligent drones

A research group at the University of Klagenfurt has designed a real-time capable drone based on object-relative navigation using artificial intelligence. Also on board: a USB3 Vision industrial camera from the uEye LE family from IDS Imaging Development Systems GmbH.

Major Demo Keeps Quaise Energy on Track to Power the World with Clean, Renewable Geothermal Energy

The mother lode of geothermal energy is some two to 12 miles beneath the Earth’s surface where the rock is so hot that if water could be pumped to the area it would become supercritical, a steam-like phase that most people aren’t familiar with.

Ultimate Guide to Battery Aging - How to Prevent Aging in Battery Energy Storage

This article will explain aging in lithium-ion batteries, which are the dominant battery type worldwide with a market share of over 90 percent for battery energy stationary storage (BESS).

Future Proofing Off-Grid Systems Against Obsolescence

The ReadyEdge is a system monitoring and site management device that connects to one or multiple compatible Morningstar charge controllers to aggregate their operating data and enable remote management.

Battery Manufacturer Cuts Scrap by 90% and Streamlines Prototyping

Lithos has now built a repeatable system through PICO to speed up prototyping, minimize losses, and ensure every change is intentional, traceable, and scalable.

Battery inspection using machine vision – fast, reliable, and variable

Averna has developed a procedure for automating battery inspection for one of its customers. The fact that potential errors are extremely varied increases the complexity of the inspection process.
