Course overview
Battery monitoring and control plays a critical role in ensuring the safe, reliable operation of utility-scale battery systems. In this lesson, learners explore how Battery Monitoring and Control systems track electrical and thermal conditions, apply control strategies, and respond to abnormal operating states. Realistic examples and system behaviors are used to show how monitoring data drives derating, alarms, and protective actions. The lesson also explains how emerging technologies and regulatory requirements influence daily operation, maintenance decisions, and long-term asset performance for battery installations.
