Battery energy storage safety monitoring beyond the BMS.
HERTZINNO adds an external physical-sensing layer around battery containers, PCS rooms, switchgear, cable routes and cooling systems. Online acoustic and infrared imaging supports the localization of abnormal acoustic emissions and hot spots, while DTS provides continuous distributed temperature visibility along battery racks, cable trays, trenches and liquid-cooling routes.
This solution complements — and does not replace — the BMS, fire detection, gas detection and other mandatory protection systems specified for the energy storage station.
Physical warning signals around a battery energy storage station
Some developing faults produce physical signals outside normal BMS measurements, including pressure-release sound, abnormal acoustic emissions, hot spots, temperature gradients, cable overheating, cooling-equipment wear and discharge-related activity in PCS or switchgear areas.
Abnormal Release & Leakage-Related Sound
Battery containers, exhaust paths, valves, cooling lines and enclosed areas may generate abnormal acoustic emissions during leakage-related or pressure-release events.
Heat Buildup & Thermal Risk
Infrared imaging and distributed temperature sensing add spatial visibility for local heat buildup, temperature gradients and abnormal changes across battery packs, racks and containers.
Cable & Battery Temperature
DTS provides distributed temperature visibility along battery groups, DC cable routes, trays and trenches, acting like many small temperature sensors along one optical fiber.
Electrical & Cooling Equipment Faults
PCS cabinets, switchgear, pumps, fans, compressors and liquid cooling systems may show discharge, hot spots, abnormal sound or wear-related signatures before visible failure.
A complementary sensing layer for thermal, acoustic and infrastructure risks.
The architecture combines online acoustic and infrared imaging, distributed temperature sensing and equipment acoustic monitoring. Together, these technologies extend visibility beyond cell-level data to battery enclosures, electrical rooms, cable infrastructure and cooling equipment.
