Accurately measuring a battery’s state of charge might seem like a simple task, but small errors can have huge financial consequences.
From base point deviations to inaccurate market bids, asset owners are leaving money on the table due to imprecise battery management systems. Could better software and real-time analytics unlock greater returns?
This week, Quentin is joined by Shyam Srinivasan, CEO and Co-Founder of Zitara Technologies, to discuss how advanced battery analytics can improve accuracy, longevity, and revenue certainty for energy storage owners.
With a background in cutting-edge hardware and software solutions—including time at Nest—Shyam explains why state-of-charge miscalculations are so common, how the shift to LFP chemistry has created new challenges, and why the industry needs a fundamental rethink of battery monitoring and control.
In this episode, you’ll hear about:
Why OEM battery management systems can be off by 20-30% during discharge.How inaccurate state-of-charge readings impact market participation and revenues.The challenges of managing LFP batteries compared to previous chemistries.Why Zitara focuses on real-time edge computing instead of cloud analytics.What asset owners should demand in their procurement contracts to ensure better data access.About Shyam Srinivasan

Grid stability is becoming increasingly complex with the growing integration of renewable energy sources. Unlike traditional power generation, wind and solar lack the inherent inertia needed to maintain a stable grid. Enter technologies like synchronous compensators: advanced spinning machines that deliver the critical inertia required to balance the grid and ensure a reliable power supply. Leading the charge in addressing these challenges are initiatives such as the Stability Pathfinders, which are driving innovative solutions to safeguard grid stability in a renewable-driven future.
In today’s episode, Guy Nicholson, Head of Grid Integration UK at Statkraft, joins Ed Porter to explore the topic of grid stability, synchronous compensators and more. Over the conversation they discuss:
Grid stability challenges - the importance of inertia and the challenges when transitioning to inverter-based resources.
The difference between inertial response vs. battery-based frequency response.
An introduction to National Grid's Stability Pathfinder program and Statkrafts involvement in phase 1.
Synchronous compensators and how they work to provide artificial inertia.
The importance of system strength in managing inverter-based resources.

The global battery energy storage market is undergoing rapid transformation. The decline in cell prices, fueled by fluctuations in lithium costs, has seen a surge in battery production, particularly in regions like China. However, the potential introduction of tariffs on U.S. manufacturers highlights the challenges of navigating the balance between global supply chains and domestic production.
While lithium-based technologies continue to dominate, emerging alternatives such as sodium-ion and flow batteries offer distinct benefits and challenges. As the sector evolves, the question arises: What does the future costs and demand for battery energy storage look like?
Iola Hughes, Head of Research at Rho Motion joins Ed Porter for today’s episode. Over the conversation, they discuss:
The dramatic drop in cell prices and the concept of tiered battery quality and its impact on pricing.Manufacturing costs in China versus the U.S. and what impacts tariffs on U.S. battery imports and potential stakeholder strategies.

The dramatic drop in cell prices and the concept of tiered battery quality and its impact on pricing.Manufacturing costs in China versus the U.S. and what impacts tariffs on U.S. battery imports and potential stakeholder strategies. The challenges facing European battery manufacturers with the recent news from Northvolt.Sodium-ion battery technology and its potential applications compared to LFP cells.An overview of global battery demand, with a focus on EV’s vs the growing stationary storage market.Mentioned in the episode

In today’s world, environmental degradation, resource depletion, and growing waste generation are clear indicators that the conventional linear economy is not sustainable. Battery storage systems, however, present a unique opportunity for change. Their materials are highly recyclable and this value can be extracted either through material recovery or second-life applications. However significant challenges remain in the recycling process.
Transitioning batteries into a circular economy is essential for long-term sustainability. While recycling technology exists, the biggest hurdles include ensuring a steady supply of used batteries and establishing efficient connections between suppliers and recyclers. Scaling operations is also critical. Only by increasing the volume of recycled materials can costs be reduced, making the process both economically viable and environmentally impactful.
William Bergh, CEO at Cling Systems, joins Quentin to discuss the challenges in battery recycling. Over the course of the conversation, they discuss:
What the physical process of material separation and recycling process looks like.The current state of the recycling market and a look at the supply chain for it. The complexities of battery recycling and the role Cling plays in facilitating these processes.Regional differences and challenges in the global battery recycling market.The importance of data availability in allowing the efficient recycling and repurposing of batteries.About our guest
By streamlining procurement and removing market frictions, Cling's circular platform helps both battery repurposers to build safe and cost effective second life energy systems, and battery recyclers to produce new recycled raw material.
Cling Systems are ensuring batteries are effectively directed to their best use —whether for second life and recycling or by leveraging strategic off-take agreements and a global network. Cling have made it their mission to offer a sustainable framework that not only mitigates environmental harm but also fosters economic growth and social well-being.
