Press Release, 1 May 2025
Rolls-Royce is launching its new Battery Analytics software for its mtu EnergyPack battery solutions and will be presenting it for the first time at the ees battery trade fair in Munich, Germany in early May 2025. “Battery Analytics is an extension of our intelligent control platform mtu EnergetIQ. It provides real-time insights, predictive maintenance and enhanced cybersecurity for battery energy storage systems, thereby maximizing the performance, availability and service life of the systems,” explained Armin Fürderer, Director of Sustainable Customer Solutions at Rolls-Royce Power Systems.
Battery Analytics provides operators of mtu battery systems with powerful tools for monitoring battery status indicators in real time and receiving early warnings of potential problems. Intelligent algorithms enable proactive maintenance and performance optimization, reducing unplanned downtime, protecting infrastructure investments and improving operational efficiency.
One of the key strengths of Battery Analytics lies in its seamless integration into Rolls-Royce’s proprietary automation platform, mtu EnergetIQ. EnergetIQ serves as a central control system for power plants and manages decentralized energy systems, including generation (e.g., renewable energies), storage (e.g., BESS) and load. The platform is scalable and provides a secure foundation for centralized control and automation of plants.
Battery Analytics meets the highest cybersecurity requirements. All data is processed locally in a secure, containerized environment on powerful industrial PCs within the mtu EnergetIQ control cabinets. This setup gives enhanced cybersecurity, data sovereignty and independence from an internet connection – perfect for safety-critical or highly regulated environments. Optional cloud connectivity is available through the secure mtu Go platform, giving extra data storage, fleet-wide analytics and remote monitoring – great for customers who run multiple sites or need deeper insights across different assets.
“With this market launch, we are reaffirming our strategic goal of systematically expanding our battery portfolio and positioning Rolls-Royce as a provider of integrated, safe and powerful energy storage solutions – a key component for reliability and sustainability in a rapidly evolving energy system,” explained Michael Hierholzer, Director of Strategy, Business Development and Product Management.
