FlexGen announced it has launched the latest version of its Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) management software platform. HybridOS V12 is the newest version of the company’s AI-enhanced software platform. It adds over a dozen new Detection, Evaluation and Action features that minimize downtime and increase availability at the battery, site and fleet levels. Site availability is critical to a BESS project’s long-term value to the asset’s owners and the grid. HybridOS is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform available for licensing worldwide.
“At FlexGen, we’re committed to delivering maximum value to our customers. The data is clear — software drives system availability and revenue. Our HybridOS software has increased revenue per kilowatt by 22% above ERCOT’s average and we’ve achieved 98% availability across all our sites,” said Hugh Scott, CTO of FlexGen. “Our software uses AI to detect anomalies and fix them with a single click.”
HybridOS V12 new features Include:
Detection
- Custom Alerting: Users can now configure custom alerts to stay aware of important system changes, focus on repeat-offender equipment and proactively identify issues before they disrupt availability. FlexGen’s data-driven and predictive alerts help customers move from reactive to proactive operations, significantly shortening detect-to-correct cycles.
- Site Diagrams (coming soon): Quickly orient yourself to the physical status of a site with this new graphical visualization. Easily understand power flows and key site status metrics in a single visual.
- Single Sign-On: Use your corporate identity management system to log into your instance of HybridOS seamlessly and efficiently while preserving security policies.
Evaluation
- Proprietary State of Charge (SoC): Never question how much energy you have left in your battery. Increase utilization rates and set battery-balancing triggers by leveraging FlexGen’s proprietary SoC algorithm laid overtop the Battery Management System’s (BMS) SoC.
- Proprietary State of Health (SoH – coming soon): Go deeper than simplified vendor degradation tables to understand asset health. FlexGen’s proprietary SoH readings will help determine the optimal time to consider augmentation.
Action
- Automated Maintenance Actions with Batch Scheduling Capabilities: Schedule and automate multi-step maintenance activities like Battery Balancing and SoC Calibration during low-impact periods. Amplify site operator capabilities and reduce operational costs by batching these maintenance actions across several battery blocks on even the largest sites.
- Data Lab: Customize, visualize and export critical data to evaluate anomalies, perform trend analysis and take data-driven operational steps in minutes (such as rolling trucks or filing warranty claims).
