Presentation: How to Build a BESS Data Strategy: A 15-Minute Playbook for BESS Operators

Synopsis

As BESS portfolios scale, fragmented data is becoming one of the biggest barriers to efficient operations. Critical data often sits siloed across OEM platforms, SCADA systems, historians, and third-party applications, leaving operators reconciling data instead of diagnosing issues or improving performance. For PV and wind operators adding BESS, the challenges may seem familiar. But BESS introduces far greater complexity and data volume, making early data architecture decisions harder to change later.

In this 15-minute session, we introduce a practical playbook for structuring BESS data to support scalable operations:

• How can operators reliably access battery data across SCADA systems, OEM platforms, and other operational tools?
• Pitfalls of flawed data architecture: How can operators avoid scalability challenges, vendor lock-in, and data silos across asset classes?
• How can raw battery telemetry be turned into actionable insights for troubleshooting, maintenance, and performance monitoring?
