CATL Unveils TENER SmartStorage: AI-Driven Energy Storage Platform

April 10, 2025 — At the 13th Energy Storage International Conference and Expo (ESIE 2025), CATL unveiled its groundbreaking TENER SmartStorage platform. This AI-driven system delivers full-lifecycle energy storage management, enhancing operational safety, efficiency, and profitability across the board.

Energy Storage Enters the Intelligence Era

With policy incentives and market demands accelerating, the energy storage sector is shifting from rapid capacity expansion to intelligent value creation. CATL’s TENER SmartStorage rises to this challenge with an integrated solution powered by big data, advanced AI models, and physical-mechanism algorithms—transforming how storage stations are monitored and managed.

Key Features of TENER SmartStorage

- Predictive Safety: 7-Day Fault Forecast with 99.99% Accuracy

Combining IoT and blockchain technologies with CATL’s proprietary battery know-how, the platform uses AI-mechanism hybrid algorithms to predict failures up to 7 days in advance with an impressive 99.99% accuracy. Virtual CT scans of batteries enable 5-minute diagnostics, while the 24/7 AI assistant “Xiao Heng” and CATL’s global O&M team reduce unplanned downtime by up to 75%.

- Data-Driven Efficiency: Boosting Performance, Reducing Waste

The platform provides professional-level data analytics at the station level, optimizing charge/discharge strategies and system balancing. Pilot deployments have shown 3% increases in system efficiency and 25% reductions in energy loss. It also automatically generates periodic inspection reports across 50+ checkpoints, helping operators transition from experience-based to data-driven decision-making.

- Unified Operations: One Screen, Total Control

TENER SmartStorage introduces a panoramic cockpit view for streamlined visualization of asset distribution, performance metrics, and operational income. Its AI assistant can offer 1-on-1 troubleshooting based on individual station profiles, closing the loop across platform modules and enabling low-personnel, high-efficiency operations.

Hardware + Software: A New Paradigm for Storage Management

From the release of its 6.25MWh TENER energy storage system in 2024 to the launch of the TENER SmartStorage platform, CATL continues to reshape the industry. This integrated hardware-software approach redefines safety, scalability, and intelligence in energy storage—laying a robust foundation for a zero-carbon energy future.
