When battery imbalance turns 11% of capacity into stranded energy A 350 MWh battery storage system is delivering significantly less energy than expected without the battery management system detecting the issue. The result is chronic overestimation of tradable energy volumes and potentially five-figure weekly balancing energy costs. This is one of the real-world failure scenarios we will explore and show how to avoid at the upcoming Battery Business & Development Forum on April 1.
