Course overview
Effective data management is essential for reliable operation, safety oversight, and regulatory compliance in utility-scale battery energy storage systems. In this lesson, learners examine how BESS data is collected, validated, protected, and analyzed to support operational decision-making and fault detection. Real-world examples illustrate how performance, safety, and market data are interpreted and correlated to reveal developing risks and optimization opportunities. The lesson also explains how accurate, well-managed data enables compliant reporting and supports long-term asset performance in regulated utility environments.
