On average battery energy storage systems are only available 82% of the time. Many issues however can already be detected before deployment, in the commissioning phase. The article explains the advantages of digital commissioning, like a quicker analysis and more detailed insights into KPIs and potential manufacturing failures.

Batteries are a key technology in the transition to carbon-free mobility. When it comes to designing battery systems for electric products, batteries must meet certain requirements that must still be met after years of operation, in order to avoid jeopardizing the intended business case and damaging companies. TWAICE's simulation models help engineers make the right decisions fast when designing a battery system, leading to reduced risks, improved reliability, and faster time to market.

Most fleet managers in the public sector, and operators of larger commercial fleets are now opting for electric vehicles. Nevertheless, there are still some concerns about this new technology regarding battery failure costs. This is when battery analytics becomes a key-value driver to unleash the full potential of battery-powered fleets.
