FlexGen Empowers Battery Site Operators with Enhanced Visibility and Efficiency Through New Power Flow Panel
In a significant advancement for energy storage management, FlexGen Power Systems, LLC. (“FlexGen”), a leader in battery energy storage solutions and energy management software, has unveiled its latest innovation: the Power Flow Panel within its HybridOS™ platform. This cutting-edge feature provides operators with real-time, single-line visibility into battery sites, enabling faster response to alarms, reducing downtime, and improving overall operational efficiency.
The new Power Flow Panel transforms how operators interact with their battery storage systems by presenting site data in a graphical depiction that mirrors the electrical layout of the facility. This intuitive design allows users to quickly orient themselves to the site’s status, accelerating the identification and resolution of faults or alarms. By offering a clear, visual representation of the site’s critical components—such as faults, alarms, breaker status, voltage, and current—the Power Flow Panel enhances situational awareness and empowers operators to address pressing issues with precision and speed.
Addressing Challenges in an Evolving Energy Landscape
As grid complexity continues to grow, storage operators face mounting pressure to maintain uptime while managing increasingly intricate power assets. The Power Flow Panel addresses these challenges head-on by streamlining workflows and enabling smarter decision-making. Tony Olivo, Senior Vice President of Software Engineering at FlexGen, emphasized the importance of tools that keep pace with the dynamic nature of modern energy systems. “As grid complexity grows, storage operators need tools that move as fast as the problems they’re solving,” said Olivo. “Power Flow Panel delivers real-time visibility that helps operators make smarter decisions in seconds — reinforcing FlexGen’s commitment to developing software that drives performance, resilience, and reliability.”
The panel distills complex site drawings into essential components, allowing operators to assess the state of their systems at a glance. For those requiring deeper insights, existing dashboard views provide granular details tailored to specific tasks. This dual-layered approach not only combats alert fatigue but also ensures that operators can focus on critical faults that directly impact system performance and revenue generation.
Driving Operational Excellence Through Innovation
The introduction of the Power Flow Panel underscores FlexGen’s ongoing commitment to enhancing its HybridOS™ platform with intuitive tools and real-time analytics. These innovations are designed to help operators manage complex power assets more efficiently, from detecting issues early to predicting maintenance needs and optimizing overall system performance. In an era where batteries are becoming indispensable infrastructure to meet rising energy demands and support aging grids, software plays a pivotal role in ensuring reliability, maximizing uptime, and unlocking revenue opportunities.
By providing operators with actionable insights, FlexGen is helping bridge the gap between traditional energy management practices and the demands of a rapidly evolving grid. The Power Flow Panel is just one example of how FlexGen is leveraging technology to empower operators and drive operational excellence.
A Broader Vision for Energy Storage Management
The Power Flow Panel is part of a broader suite of software innovations from FlexGen aimed at maximizing asset performance and minimizing downtime. Earlier this year, the company introduced its proprietary State of Health (SOH) feature, which offers operators a more accurate understanding of battery degradation over time. This capability supports long-term site planning and ensures that operators can proactively address potential issues before they escalate.
Together, these tools reflect FlexGen’s holistic approach to energy storage management. By combining advanced diagnostics, predictive analytics, and user-friendly interfaces, FlexGen is equipping operators with the resources they need to navigate the complexities of modern energy systems confidently.
Why This Matters for the Future of Energy Storage
As renewable energy adoption accelerates and the demand for reliable storage solutions increases, the role of intelligent software cannot be overstated. Tools like the Power Flow Panel and SOH feature are instrumental in ensuring that energy storage systems operate at peak efficiency, contributing to a more resilient and sustainable grid. For operators, these innovations translate into tangible benefits: reduced downtime, lower operational costs, and enhanced revenue generation.
Moreover, the integration of real-time data visualization and predictive analytics positions FlexGen as a leader in the energy storage sector. By continuously refining its HybridOS™ platform, the company is setting new standards for what operators can achieve in terms of performance, reliability, and scalability.
