Part 8/11:
Safety, Reliability, and Extending Battery Life
Safety is paramount, especially given the sheer size and weight—up to 90 tons—of Fluence’s energy storage systems. The systems are engineered to incorporate self-healing capabilities, allowing cells within batteries to override faulty components and maintain optimal performance. This focus on safety is vital for regulatory approval and market acceptance.
Battery degradation, a common challenge, is addressed through software that manages charge-discharge cycles carefully, preserving system longevity and ensuring sustained value over the asset lifecycle.
