At the 2025 SMM Zero Carbon Pathway - PV & Energy Storage Summit hosted by SMM, Zou Song, Overseas Sales Director of Hangzhou Synergy Technology Co., Ltd., shared insights on the topic of "Life Cycle Management of Energy Storage Systems."

Definition of BESS Life Cycle Management

Definition

Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) life cycle management is a systematic approach that oversees all stages from planning and operation to decommissioning, including scrap recycling or reuse.

It aims to maximize the system's operational lifespan, efficiency, and value while ensuring safety, regulatory compliance, and environmental responsibility.

Key Management in the Life Cycle

System Planning & Design: Defining the System's DNA

Production & System Integration Phase: Forging System Consistency

Site Operation & Maintenance Phase: Driving System Value Growth

Core Role of BMS

Real-time health monitoring triggers dynamic EMS dispatching (IRR increased by 2.3 percentage points).

Millisecond-level coordination with PCS/TMS/FFS eliminates fault losses.

Collaborative Network

Cloud AI: Analyzes BMS historical data for predictive alerts (92.7% accuracy).

TMS+FFS: Collaborate to prevent any emergencies

After-Sales Excellence

Over 80 global support staff monitor 24/7 to ensure 99.9% uptime.

Recycling & Reuse: Achieving Asset Rebirth

Cloud Platform: Matches BMS data with secondary applications (92% reuse rate).

PCS/EMS: Validates residual value through cross-system data (e.g., 64% cost reduction in 5G base station projects).

Core Role of BMS

Provides a complete life cycle health record for residual value assessment (error <8%); marks high-risk units to guide safe FFS disassembly (zero accidents).

Secondary Use Preparation

Repurposes batteries with less than 80% capacity for EV charging or telecom backup.

Recycling Partnerships

Recovers 95% of lithium and cobalt through strategic alliances.

Dubai Collaboration

Supports the UAE's 2050 Net Zero Initiative through zero-waste energy storage.

Site Operation & Maintenance Phase: Driving System Value Growth

Life management of grid-connected smart systems includes system planning and design, production and system integration, site operation and maintenance, decommissioning, and reuse.
