Episode Description from the Publisher

Utility-scale batteries are far more complex than they appear. Ty Fenton, Director of Data Analytics at FlexGen, breaks down how software keeps massive battery systems running — from detecting a single failing cell among thousands to predictive diagnostics powered by machine learning. The episode dives into real-world degradation versus lab data, operators who intentionally voided warranties for short-term profit, and why AI training loads create extreme power spikes that only batteries can absorb. Recorded live at Intersolar San Diego.   Topics Covered: FlexGen = Flexible Generation Battery Management Battery Technology Software Point of Interconnection Energy Storage Systems Warranty Terms Battery Manufacturer Lithium-Ion Batteries Data Centers Training Load Profile Machine Learning Accelerated Aging   Reach out to Ty Fenton here: LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/ty-fenton-84782830/ Website: www.flexgen.com   Learn more at www.solarSEAN.com and be sure to get NABCEP certified by taking Sean’s classes at www.heatspring.com/sean www.solarsean.com/pvace
