Matchmaking service to assist battery makers and utility companies

A ground-breaking new battery ‘match’ service will help utility companies select the most suitable batteries for energy storage schemes.

CBI Battery Match, a collaborative effort between leaders in the battery industry and the Consortium for Battery Innovation (CBI), has been designed and built to assist electricity providers and other energy storage projects find a battery system that best meets their requirements.

The online service, launched in conjunction with the Energy Storage Association’s Virtual Conference, is targeted at systems specifiers and integrators for utility and renewable energy companies and presents them with a series of potential battery partners, before linking them directly with battery manufacturers.

Just like human dating apps, users tap in information about themselves together with details of their expectations and requirements. Using an intelligent algorithm based on battery industry expertise, a range of battery solutions best suited to their needs are identified in real-time.

Dr Alistair Davidson, Director of CBI, said the aim is to bridge the gap between utilities and renewable energy providers and battery manufacturers by demonstrating the wide range of reliable, high-performance advanced lead batteries available.

“Our research consortium of battery manufacturers has found that their customers needed a simpler way to sort through the range of choices to identify the best battery for their energy storage system.”

“Our battery matchmaker will help demonstrate that there are a range of options available, where advanced lead batteries are best-suited to their needs, that allows them to find a tailormade solution for their specific system,” Dr Davidson said.

“We’re seeing massive growth in demand for battery energy storage across the globe which means we need many more batteries. This new tool helps users consider the range of potential solutions and puts them in touch with potential partners in the shape of the manufacturers,” he shared.

With a user-friendly interface available on desktop and mobile, energy storage end-users can log on to the tool, input their system requirements, and the outcome is a direct match with the battery best suited for their project.

CBI Battery Match will enable direct communication between the energy storage company and the battery manufacturer, a streamlined process where inputted information results in the output of a battery.
