‘State of Health’ technology unveiled for battery systems
Corvus Energy has released data-driven State of Health (SOH) testing procedures for energy storage systems (ESS). SOH tests for marine battery systems are mandatory and give an overall assessment of the condition, performance, and safety of batteries over time. The tests reveal important factors including a battery’s capacity, efficiency, and its remaining life. The data-driven approach adopted by Corvus and accepted by DNV improves accuracy and efficiency in monitoring and maintaining ESS. Importantly, tests can be carried out with a minimum of disruption to normal operation, reducing costs and possible off-hire time....
