Energy Storage Systems
Leverage your storage asset’s true capacity.
Know exactly how much energy is available in your battery storage systems and effectively monitor for risks with Zitara.
Talk to an expertWhat is an energy storage system?
An Energy Storage System (ESS) is a technology that stores energy during periods of excess production and releases it when demand is high. ESS plays a crucial role in enhancing grid stability, integrating renewable energy sources, and ensuring a reliable and resilient power grid.
Industry Challenges facing Utilities, IPPs, and Operators.
Batteries are complicated, and it's hard to know what to ask when investing in a new asset.
Factors like cell choice, environmental controls, and operating limits all impact the performance and longevity of your asset. Without a team of battery experts, knowing what to ask your OEMs and integrators is challenging.
Your onboard battery management system starts out wrong and gets worse over time.
Your system’s available energy is a more complex calculation than the state of charge. Even worse, a three-year-old battery is a different battery than it was on day one. Your built-in battery management system doesn’t adequately account for degradation, compounding errors over time.
Surprise shutdowns are avoidable, but not with data from a typical battery management system.
Unknown energy availability, cell imbalances, and thermal issues are some of the root causes of surprise shutdowns. Most assets come with fixed safety limits that don't account for these dynamic conditions. These assets fail to alert early enough, causing avoidable shutdowns.
We know your batteries, so we can tell you exactly what they’re capable of.
Zitara creates a digital twin of your asset that factors in age, chemistry, and location of each cell within your battery system. Using predictive modeling with your system’s existing sensors, we know exactly how much energy you can dispatch at any moment.
Take the guesswork out of battery procurement.
Zitara translates your requirements into simulations that show the capabilities of your system so you can design for years of reliable operation. All without having to staff a team of in-house battery experts.
See your asset’s true energy availability for the first time.
Knowing your system’s dispatchable power enables your team to make timely and strategic decisions to operate profitably.
Ensure your system runs reliably.
Zitara’s software integrates with your existing battery management system to give you accurate data and service alerts about overheating, cell imbalances, and energy availability.
Identify risks before they become catastrophes.
Avoid costly incidents with dynamic safety limits and service alerts that flag balance-of-system issues like water damage or HVAC failure.
Work with more than one OEM.
Zitara’s software adapts to every manufacturer, so you can confidently compare assets and trust the data is adjusted for inconsistencies across different manufacturers and components.
Enable continuous balancing.
Zitara’s software monitors the State of Charge of every cell in your system, allowing you to continuously balance with confidence. Eliminate costly balancing down-time and unlock the full capacity of your asset on each and every cycle.
