Verbund uses TWAICE software for optimal operation of its stationary battery storage systems

‍

VERBUND, Austria's leading energy company, is using TWAICE's analytics software for battery-powered electricity storage applications. The TWAICE Operating Strategy Planner simulates the impact of different operating strategies on battery aging, giving storage operators an advantage in the volatile market of power generation and marketing. Predicting and evaluating battery aging through TWAICE's analytics software also reduces the risk of violating warranty terms.

Achieving predictability and profitability in a dynamic yet risk-averse market requires transparency into all contributing factors. With the help of holistic battery analytics from TWAICE, all players along the energy industry value chain, meaning operators, asset owners and integrators of battery storage systems, can better face their challenges, optimizing storage design and operating strategies. The clearer the view of the exact condition of the electricity storage system, its remaining service life, and future performance, the more accurate future strategies can be developed.

With TWAICE's Operating Strategy Planner, VERBUND can overview the respective KPIs, upload user-defined load profiles, retrieve predefined profiles and export the data resulting from the analyses. This insight into battery aging empowers VERBUND to accurately estimate costs and no longer just choose the highest-revenue operating strategy, but the most profitable one. The software also enables VERBUND to continuously monitor actual battery aging and take timely countermeasures if storage capacity or performance deviates from the ideal.

The stress factor analysis of the Operating Strategy Planner also provides valuable insights for the development of next-gen storages. VERBUND achieves greater flexibility and profitability with the new evidence base.
