Utility-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) owners and operators face a persistent operational challenge: fragmented visibility into system performance across multiple monitoring tools. Managing large-scale battery systems typically requires navigating multiple dashboards and data streams, requiring teams to reconcile large volumes of information manually for actionable insights.
This fragmentation creates inefficiencies as teams work to consolidate information and identify meaningful patterns within thousands of real-time data points. As a result, teams operate in a reactive mode, spending significant time troubleshooting issues after they occur rather than anticipating and preventing them.
The challenge extends beyond mere inconvenience. When data is siloed, operators may miss early warning signs of degradation or performance issues, potentially impacting system reliability and revenue. Additionally, the complexity of interpreting disparate data sources requires specialized technical expertise that not every operations and management (O&M) team may have at hand.
Moving toward a more proactive operational approach
To move from reactive to proactive asset management, operators need an approach that reduces complexity and make insights easier to access and act upon.
Recent advances in software are doing just that. Developed in close collaboration with leading asset operators, Twaice’s workflow solutions consolidate system data into unified, hierarchical views. During this pv magazine Webinar, Robin Lorenz, lead PM workflow solutions at Twaice, will demonstrate how tools like the BESS Hierarchy Diagram and live KPI monitoring can be integrated with existing analytical capabilities for more streamlined operations.
Joining the discussion will be Nick Peri, vice president of asset management and operations, and Chris Swanson, director of performance engineering at Fullmark Energy, a utility-scale BESS developer and independent power producer with operating battery storage projects across the United States. They will share their operational experience implementing these tools and discuss how unified data visibility has affected their daily workflows and decision-making processes.
