Battery storage is regarded as one of the key technologies of the energy transition — efficient, forward-looking and indispensable in the long term. However, there are hidden risks lurking behind the boom in the storage sector. Errors in planning, commissioning and operation often lead to failures, high costs or, in the worst case, even battery fires. What is often not clear is that these problems can be avoided — as long as you know the key parameters.
Risks and challenges
The market for battery storage systems is growing rapidly, but not all systems deliver what they promise. From poor cell quality and a lack of certification to risky marketing strategies — the list of potential dangers is long. Without comprehensive monitoring and careful supplier selection, costly failures and safety risks can be the result.
A look at the solutions
From the selection of a suitable supplier to smooth commissioning and long-term operational management, there are numerous pitfalls that can make the difference between success and failure. The white paper offers practical insights into how basic guidelines — from supplier selection to smart monitoring solutions such as the NOVUM Storage Guard — help to identify risks at an early stage, avoid failures and fully exploit the potential of your storage to enable secure and profitable operation.
