What the Data Actually Tells You

Merging the SOC accuracy and stranded capacity conversation: how inaccurate battery data flows from monitoring through to trading performance.

• SOC can be off by up to 15%, where does that inaccuracy originate, and who is responsible for fixing it?
• What does ‘useful’ imbalance data look like from an asset manager’s perspective versus an OEM’s?
• How much capacity is routinely left stranded by OEM-mandated buffers, and how is that number changing as analytics improve?
• What level of SOC precision and failure prediction would meaningfully change how trading desks size their positions?
• How do degradation and cell imbalance interact over the asset lifecycle and when does a technical monitoring problem become a revenue problem?
• Can third-party analytics close the gap, or does unlocking stranded capacity ultimately require working directly with the OEM?
• Should SOC accuracy be a contractual obligation, and if so, who holds the risk?
