The new technology includes digital twins of batteries and intelligent monitoring systems based on the Internet of Things (IoT). These systems enable real-time analysis of energy storage systems, anticipating battery degradation and optimising their operation.
The solution combines expertise in battery management with advanced modelling capabilities, transforming operational data into actionable insights to improve the reliability and performance of energy storage systems. The aim is to extend battery lifetime, enhance safety, and reduce operating costs, as well as facilitate battery reuse and the integration of renewables.
This technology can be applied in industrial environments, electricity grids, and energy communities, contributing to more efficient and sustainable electrification. It can also facilitate the deployment of technologies such as electric vehicles, self-consumption, and smart grids.
The collaboration between IREC and INTERA Group has already led to the deployment of the technology in two real-world environments, marking a step towards its market adoption. This initiative strengthens Catalonia's capacity to develop innovative solutions for a more efficient, sustainable, and competitive energy system.
IREC holds the TECNIO accreditation seal, awarded by the Government of Catalonia through ACCIÓ, which brings together research centres focused on technology transfer.
