Envision claims AI-enabled storage systems can detect battery safety risks days in advance

Envision Energy has introduced a fully integrated energy storage solution that incorporates hardware, software, and market capabilities to enhance battery deployment in evolving energy systems. The company's approach includes cell innovation, power conversion, system controls, artificial intelligence, and electricity trading to connect physical assets with real-time intelligence. Envision's strategy focuses on "physical AI," which integrates AI directly into the operation of storage assets to ensure grid stability, equipment safety, and operational efficiency. The company's Physical AI system, supported by the Dubhe Energy Foundation Model, analyzes real-world energy data to optimize renewable generation, storage, grids, and demand in real time. Envision's AI technologies are embedded across multiple layers of the storage system to support grid functions, operational optimization, market participation, and asset health and safety monitoring. Envision is utilizing AI technology to predict faults in energy storage systems, allowing for proactive maintenance and avoiding emergency shutdowns. The company's AI models can detect voltage irregularities associated with dendrite growth in battery cells, improving operational reliability and safety. Envision believes AI can optimize storage economics by improving price forecasting, reducing operational constraints, and enabling flexible trading strategies. The company sees strong potential for AI-enabled grid-forming storage in commercial and industrial applications, with projects already operating in China and development underway in other markets. Envision plans to deploy its AI-enabled storage solutions globally, co-located with renewable energy generation. Envision is focusing on developing in-house AI models to apply across the renewable energy system, believing that companies with large datasets and proprietary AI models will have an advantage in the sector. They see AI adoption as a widespread trend rather than a competition. Envision's CEO, Huang, emphasized that they don't just use AI, they develop it, and their goal is to build the foundation of a renewable energy system.
