588-03 - Battery Performance and Degradation
Learning objectives
- Define battery degradation and the key factors contributing to battery degradation in BESS, such as thermal effects, depth of discharge, and cycling frequency.
- Identify methods for monitoring battery health using performance data and real-time diagnostic tools.
- Explain degradation trends from BESS performance metrics to predict maintenance needs.
- Recall best practices for mitigating degradation, including optimizing charge cycles, and maintaining environmental conditions.
- Identify the impact of degradation on BESS efficiency, reliability, and lifecycle costs.
- Identify compliance requirements related to BESS operation, safety, and disposal per industry standards.
Course overview
Battery degradation is a critical issue for today’s energy storage systems, influencing both performance and long-term costs. In this course, learners examine the causes of battery wear and how operational and environmental factors affect service life. Practical methods such as data interpretation, system monitoring, and corrective action planning are used to reinforce knowledge and promote real-world application. This training is best suited for engineers, technicians, analysts, and managers responsible for maintaining and optimizing BESS assets in industrial and utility-scale environments.
