Software-defined power: FlexGen’s HybridOS turns batteries into grid thinkers
FlexGen says the future of energy storage isn’t necessarily in bigger batteries but in smarter ones, and has now brought solar power into its software. Its Linux-based HybridOS platform coordinates batteries, inverters, and solar systems to think and act like living parts of the grid.
Operational issues hit returns in one in five battery storage projects, report finds
A recent report from battery intelligence firm Accure reveals that while most battery energy storage systems (BESS) operate reliably, nearly 19% of projects experience reduced returns due to technical issues and unplanned downtime.
Making BESS warranties work: Contracts vs. reality
Striking a careful balance between technical limitations, market ambitions, and contractual realism in operating battery energy storage systems (BESS) is no easy task. Rigid battery warranties can often be a make-or-break factor in BESS assest management. As a result, many industry players now argue that adopting a more flexible approach to warranties could unlock greater value from these inherently flexible assets.
Volytica on maximizing battery value with advanced diagnostics
Using cloud-based software, the young company analyzes batteries during operation in large-scale stationary storage systems and electric vehicles. The platform diagnoses battery aging, whether cells are performing unevenly, and whether there are risks of failure or even fire.

New digital twin tech promises significant advancement in BESS performance management
The new digital twin technology from Brussels-based 3E, developed in partnership with the Free University of Brussels (VUB) as part of the Belgium government-funded FULLEST project, reveals a significant oversight in how Europe’s utility-scale battery storage systems are managed. While 80% of operators depend solely on battery management systems (BMS) for performance management, 3E’s solution identified a 4% discrepancy between reported and actual battery health – enough to affect both operations and revenue-making potential.
