Turning Battery Data into Actionable Intelligence

As the world accelerates its shift towards sustainable energy, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are emerging as a cornerstone of the energy transition. By balancing power demand, stabilizing the grid, and enabling the efficient use of renewable resources, BESS make it possible to integrate more clean energy into our power systems. However, these systems are complex and generate vast amounts of operational data. Unlocking their full potential requires more than just storage capacity—it demands deep insight. That’s where MoniCa (Monitoring of Capacity) comes in. Developed by Laborelec, one of ENGIE’s research centers, MoniCa combines advanced algorithms with electrochemical expertise to help you get the most out of your battery assets.

Data alone isn’t enough—what matters is how it’s interpreted and applied.

Effective BESS management supports operational excellence while helping meet financial targets and contractual obligations.

Could you present your solution in a few sentences, emphasizing its innovative aspects? 

Since 2018, MoniCa has been delivering cutting-edge diagnostics for BESS. It transforms raw operational data into actionable insights, enabling operators to:

  • Preserve battery health
  • Optimize performance
  • Ensure long-term safety and availability

This multi-disciplinary approach is essential for effective BESS management. It supports operational excellence while helping meet financial targets and contractual obligations.

What will you showcase at Vivatech?

At VivaTech, we’ll highlight the most common challenges faced by BESS owners and operators in energy markets—such as battery degradation, inaccurate state-of-charge (SOC) estimations, and system imbalances. These issues can significantly impact asset availability and performance.

We’ll also demonstrate how MoniCa helps uncover the root causes of these problems, offering clear, data-driven paths to resolution.

What do you expect from this participation in Viva Technology?

We’re eager to connect with BESS owners who are navigating these challenges and explore opportunities to collaborate. Our goal is to help them turn complex data into concrete actions that improve their operations.

What challenges will you face next?

While we continue to refine our algorithms, the real challenge lies in making insights truly actionable. Data alone isn’t enough—what matters is how it’s interpreted and applied. That’s where MoniCa makes the difference.

What question would you have liked me to ask you? 

« How does MoniCa contribute to the energy transition?”

ENGIE plays a pivotal role in the global energy transition, with ambitious goals for renewable energy and storage deployment. MoniCa helps maximize the value of every battery, making clean energy more reliable, affordable, and scalable.


Visit the ENGIE stand (J39) at Porte de Versailles in Paris from 11 to 14 June to discover MoniCa and all the innovative solutions that make ENGIE the leader in energy transition.
