Top 5 Data Challenges for Battery Storage Systems
Battery energy storage systems (BESS), managed by EMS software platforms, generate massive amounts of high-frequency data. But most telemetry stacks weren’t built to handle:
- Millions of points per second from sensors and inverters
- Real-time analytics and dashboards under load
- Data loss and complexity caused by fragile edge–cloud sync
- Storage bloat and query lag in general-purpose databases
TDengine is a purpose-built time-series database that simplifies the complexity of energy telemetry pipelines from edge to cloud.
Evaluate TDengine with EMS Telemetry Data
Need to see it to believe it? We’ve open-sourced a complete EMS data simulator with MQTT ingestion, edge–cloud architecture, and Docker-based deployment:
- Spin up a test environment in under a minute, including an MQTT data generator, MQTT broker, TDengine nodes, and Grafana visualizations
- Explore the environment and see how easy it is to use TDengine to store and process EMS data
- Change settings or nodes as you like — if you break it, just spin up a new one
- Run in Docker on your local machine — no cloud costs
