Why attend this BESS training

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are now a key enabler of the energy transition. As deployments continue to grow, organisations need to assess BESS projects with a clear understanding of their technical opportunities, limitations and risks.

This training is designed to help participants:

  • Compare major battery technologies
  • Understand BESS architecture
  • Evaluate performance and ageing
  • Assess safety and operational risks
  • Analyse monitoring and diagnostics data
  • Make informed project decisions

Who should attend?

The training can be adapted to different profiles and levels of expertise. It is especially relevant for professionals involved in the development, assessment, financing, ownership or technical follow-up of BESS projects.

It is particularly suited for:

  • BESS project developers
  • Asset owners and asset managers
  • Utilities and energy companies
  • Electrical and energy engineers
  • Technical due diligence specialists
  • Risk engineers and safety specialists

Delivered by Laborelec BESS experts

The training is delivered by engineers from the ENGIE Laborelec Storage Lab, with hands-on experience in battery technologies, safety, performance assessment, diagnostics and technical due diligence.

Participants benefit from hands-on experience gained both in the laboratory and on real-world energy storage projects.

What you will learn

The training combines technical fundamentals, practical examples, engineering exercises and lessons learned from real-world projects

Battery technologies

Understand the main battery technology families used in storage projects, their characteristics, strengths and limitations.

BESS architecture & integration

Explore how cells, modules, racks, enclosures, battery management systems, thermal management and control systems interact within a complete installation.

Performance & Ageing

Learn how batteries degrade over time, how lifetime is assessed, and which operating conditions influence performance.

Safety & Risk Management

Gain insight into key BESS safety risks, including thermal runaway, propagation phenomena, detection, mitigation and emergency response considerations.

Monitoring & Diagnostics

Understand how BESS assets are supervised, monitored and analysed to support performance, safety and reliability.

Operation, Maintenance & Asset Health

Explore the practical issues that influence long-term performance, maintenance planning and asset management.

Additional topics upon request

The training can be extended to cover selected topics according to participant needs and project context, including project development case studies, business and regulatory aspects, end-of-life considerations, recycling technologies, circularity approaches, and lessons learned from operational BESS projects.
