We Make Battery Lifecycle Management an Industrial Commodity
Dear Reader,
this autumn is a particularly special time for all of us at volytica diagnostics , reflecting on an exciting and rewarding September. We started the month on a high note, winning the prestigious 5th Hubject eMobility Start-Up Award at the intercharge network conference (ICNC) - a recognition that really energized our team.
Fuelled by this success, we participated in numerous events across Germany and engaged in many insightful discussions. Thank you to everyone who took the time to connect with us and share valuable ideas.
In addition, we are delighted to have launched our white paper on how to modernize the traditional BESS factory acceptance test with advanced battery diagnostics in collaboration with Sinovoltaics.
Warm regards,
Your volytica team
September Highlight
News & Stories
White paper: Discover how improved BESS testing could prevent up to $2.3 billion in revenue and operational cost losses.
BESS developers could avoid $2.3 billion in losses till 2030 if battery energy systems were installed with proper monitoring software.?We've collaborated with our partner Sinovoltaics to research this topic with an in-depth white paper.
Our case study highlights a 50MWh energy storage project in Europe where traditional battery analytics software was unable to detect severe thermal imbalances and voltage fluctuations within the BESS. These issues, if left unaddressed, could have resulted in financial losses of over $600,000 due to accelerated battery degradation and system downtime.
MW-CHARGING…WHAT?
Megawatt charging can ease the transition to electric trucks and buses by making charging faster and more efficient. With the increasing use of electric vehicles, especially in heavy-duty and public transportation sectors,?the need for efficient charging methods is becoming more and more urgent. Electric trucks and buses?cover long distances and adhere to tight schedules, requiring fast charging during short breaks. Therefore, Megawatt charging offers an innovative solution.
Yet, many fear that MW charging might shorten battery life in an unsustainable way. But are these concerns justified?
Our CEO Claudius Jehle , together with Sven Klausner , Group Leader Charging Infrastructure at the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft , explore how MW-charging affect the battery and how degradation is minimized while enabling faster charging speeds in a new article for Sustainable Bus .
Ensuring Battery Performance and Safety: Interview with MDR
We recently spoke with MDR MITTELDEUTSCHER RUNDFUNK to discuss important questions around battery performance and monitoring.
Our CEO, Claudius Jehle explained how advanced diagnostic processes help to detect problems at an early stage so that batteries last longer and function better. At the same time, he emphasized that many batteries, especially in electric vehicles, are replaced prematurely. With predictive monitoring, they can often continue to work reliably beyond the end of the warranty period.
