EnBrilion is proud to participate in ALT-BESS (Aging Models, LCA, and Advanced Tools for Stationary Energy Storage), a Swedish Energy Agency–funded research and innovation project led by KTH Royal Institute of Technology.
The project addresses one of the most critical challenges facing Europe’s energy transition: how to design, operate, and scale stationary battery energy storage systems (BESS) in a way that balances economic performance, environmental impact, system safety, and battery lifetime.
Addressing a critical gap in energy storage decision-making
While the deployment of stationary energy storage is accelerating across Europe, decision-making tools that simultaneously consider techno-economic performance, life-cycle assessment (LCA), and battery aging remain limited.
ALT-BESS aims to close this gap by developing and validating a comprehensive decision-support tool tailored for real-world stationary BESS applications. The tool combines:
AI-based forecasting and optimization
Advanced battery aging models
Life-cycle assessment (LCA) and environmental impact analysis
The result will be a practical framework that supports better long-term planning, safer operation, and more sustainable energy storage investments across European markets.
From research to real assets
A key strength of ALT-BESS is the close collaboration between academia, industry, and real asset owners. The models and tools developed within the project will be tested and validated using real-life operational data and commercial use cases, including applications in the real estate and energy sectors.
This ensures that research outcomes are directly applicable to real-world energy systems, supporting grid resilience, renewable integration, and long-term decarbonization goals.
EnBrilion’s role in the ALT-BESS project
Within ALT-BESS, EnBrilion contributes real-world BESS expertise and operational insight. Our role includes:
Providing input from commercial battery energy storage systems
Supporting the development and validation of battery aging models
Contributing to techno-economic and market analysis
Bridging research outcomes with practical system design and operation
By combining research with hands-on system experience, EnBrilion helps ensure that the resulting tools reflect real operational conditions, safety requirements, and regulatory frameworks.
Strengthening Europe’s battery value chain
ALT-BESS aligns with European ambitions to build a competitive, sustainable, and resilient battery value chain. By integrating economic, environmental, and technical perspectives into a single decision-support framework, the project supports policymakers, asset owners, and technology providers in making informed energy storage investments.
