Socomec Partners with PowerUp to Enhance Battery Analytics Capabilities
Socomec has announced a strategic partnership with PowerUp to provide customers with cutting-edge analytics tools designed to optimize the safety, performance, and lifespan of lithium-ion batteries used in energy storage and UPS markets. This collaboration aims to revolutionize the industry by integrating advanced artificial intelligence with extensive battery research to proactively identify potential safety issues, enhance operational efficiency, and prolong the longevity of Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) assets.
Enhanced Safety Measures and Performance Optimization
PowerUp’s cloud-based platform offers a unique combination of AI technology and battery expertise to deliver a range of benefits for BESS project stakeholders. In addition to the standard safety measures provided by Battery Management Systems (BMS), Socomec customers will benefit from PowerUp’s patented algorithms, which enable early detection of battery degradation and anomaly identification. This proactive approach allows asset owners to address issues before they escalate into safety incidents, providing a significant improvement over industry standards.
Maximizing ROI through Data-Driven Insights
Socomec Energy Storage Systems customers will gain access to valuable insights on optimal BESS conditions and operating parameters. By leveraging PowerUp’s advanced analytics, customers can extend the lifespan of their assets and increase their return on investment significantly. The platform’s industry-leading accuracy in assessing battery State of Health (SoH) and State of Charge (SoC) at module and rack levels ensures optimal performance across various energy applications, including renewable energy integration, electric vehicle charging infrastructure, and microgrid stability.
Improved Maintenance Planning and Cost Efficiency
PowerUp’s analytics deliver highly accurate SoC readings within ±2% over a battery’s lifetime, enabling advanced maintenance planning to reduce downtime and operational costs. This level of precision helps prevent deviations of over 10%, which could lead to inaccurate reporting, financial losses, and regulatory penalties for BESS asset owners.
Future Prospects and Customer Value
Jean-Marc Guillou, Technical Director of Energy Storage Systems at Socomec, highlighted the importance of integrating innovative AI-powered analytics to enhance safety and performance for customers. Philippe de La Fortelle, Chief Revenue Officer at PowerUp, emphasized the synergies between the two companies and the value-added strategies they will generate for customers. The battery analytics solution is currently undergoing pre-commercialization pilots and is set to be available to all customers by January 2026.
Overall, the partnership between Socomec and PowerUp signifies a significant advancement in battery analytics technology, promising improved safety, performance, and efficiency for energy storage solutions. By leveraging data-driven insights, both companies aim to build lasting customer relationships and drive long-term value creation in the industry.
