CATL unveils TENER Smart Storage platform to elevate energy storage station safety, efficiency

Shanghai (Gasgoo)- On April 10, at the 13th Energy Storage International Conference and Expo (ESIE 2025), CATL introduced its new intelligent energy storage management platform, TENER Smart Storage (天恒·智储). Designed to meet the evolving needs of the industry, the platform offers a full life-cycle solution encompassing safety alerts, performance optimization, and intelligent operations and maintenance (O&M).

As the energy storage sector shifts from rapid scale-up to a deeper focus on value creation, TENER Smart Storage responds with a comprehensive suite of standardized capabilities. By integrating big data, AI foundation models, advanced physics-based algorithms, and visual analytics, the platform delivers intelligent fault warnings, operational diagnostics, system health checks, and smart O&M services—meeting the industry's growing demand for safer operations and improved system availability.

With support from IoT (Internet of Things) and blockchain technologies, TENER Smart Storage leverages AI and algorithmic modeling to predict faults up to seven days in advance with over 99.99% accuracy. Its virtual CT function enables technicians to complete fault analysis within five minutes. Backed by CATL's 24/7 AI assistant "Xiao Heng" and a global team of O&M experts, the platform can reduce unplanned outages by up to 75%.

Drawing from CATL's extensive experience in energy storage operations, the platform enables deep, station-level data analysis. Its capabilities include optimized charging/discharging strategies and dynamic balancing controls that extend equipment lifespan and enhance operational efficiency. In typical deployments, the system has boosted overall efficiency by an average of 3% and cut energy losses by 25%. It also automates routine inspection reports covering more than 50 inspection items across four categories, supporting a shift from experience-based to data-driven management.

To address integrated O&M needs, TENER Smart Storage features an all-in-one control dashboard, providing real-time views of asset distribution, operational status, and profitability. The AI assistant "Xiao Heng" serves as a 24/7 personalized support agent, using site-specific data to deliver tailored insights and trigger automated responses across system modules. Together, these features set a new benchmark for low-maintenance, high-efficiency smart energy storage management.
