April 10, 2025 — At ESIE 2025, the 13th Energy Storage International Conference and Expo, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (CATL) officially launched TENER SmartStorage, an advanced AI-driven energy storage platform designed to reshape how large-scale energy storage systems are monitored, maintained, and optimized.

Smarter Energy Storage for a Smarter Grid

As global demand for energy storage solutions continues to rise, the industry is transitioning from simply scaling capacity to enhancing value through intelligence. TENER SmartStorage answers this shift with a fully integrated solution that merges artificial intelligence, big data, and physical-mechanism modeling to deliver end-to-end energy storage lifecycle management.

Key Innovations of TENER SmartStorage

Predictive Maintenance with 7-Day Fault Forecasting (99.99% Accuracy)

By fusing IoT, blockchain technology, and CATL’s deep battery expertise, TENER SmartStorage offers unparalleled predictive maintenance. Hybrid AI-mechanism algorithms allow the system to forecast equipment failures up to 7 days in advance with 99.99% accuracy. Built-in virtual CT scans deliver battery diagnostics in just 5 minutes, while CATL’s 24/7 intelligent assistant “Xiao Heng” reduces unplanned downtime by as much as 75%.

Data-Driven Optimization for Performance and Sustainability

With over 50 smart monitoring checkpoints, the platform delivers detailed inspection reports and real-time analytics. Operators can optimize charge/discharge strategies and system balancing using AI insights—leading to 3% higher system efficiency and 25% less energy waste, based on pilot site performance.

Unified Command Center: One Screen, Total Visibility

The TENER SmartStorage platform introduces a panoramic AI cockpit that provides instant visibility into every aspect of storage operations—from asset distribution and real-time performance to revenue metrics. Custom AI support enables station-specific diagnostics and remote troubleshooting, dramatically reducing operational complexity and workforce requirements.

A New Standard in Smart Energy Infrastructure

TENER SmartStorage builds on CATL’s hardware innovation—the 6.25MWh TENER system launched in 2024—by integrating intelligent software to create a next-generation energy storage solution. This holistic approach redefines industry standards for safety, scalability, and operational intelligence, positioning CATL at the forefront of the zero-carbon energy revolution.
