German battery first to integrate monitoring, analytics and trading, moving away from fragmented digital tools 

Obton Dynamic, Amperecloud, Volytica Diagnostics and Enspired are testing a fully-integrated operating model for stationary storage on a 15.8 MW, 32 MWh battery in Tangermünde. While modest in scale, the partners describe the project as the first to bring monitoring, battery diagnostics and energy trading together within one coordinated system. They say this integration is intended to simplify operation and strengthen the asset’s position in power markets.

The group is addressing what it sees as a core industry challenge: the widespread use of digital tools that operate in parallel but are rarely aligned. Their pilot combines these functions in order to deliver continuous, data-driven control, covering daily operation through to market participation.

At the centre of the project is Amperecloud’s monitoring platform, which allows other systems to be integrated through a standardised interface. “By integrating battery diagnostics and trading into our platform, we enable operators to move from fragmented tools to connected processes,” said Amperecloud CEO Frederik Merz. Volytica’s diagnostic software is also embedded in the interface, making real-time assessments of degradation, cell imbalance and overall battery health part of routine operations.

The approach is completed by Enspired’s AI-based trading strategy, which uses real-time market and technical data to optimise the storage system’s commercial performance. The partners aim to show how modular technologies across operation, analysis and trading can be linked into a single workflow. They say this should improve transparency, support early fault detection and strengthen the economic case for storage.

At the Tangermünde projects, which is owned by Dutch renewables investor Obton Dynamics, they hope the pilot will demonstrate a repeatable model for future sites, providing what they describe as the foundation for further applications both within and beyond the partnership.
