Optimizing BESS Operations: Real-Time Monitoring & Predictive Maintenance with InfluxDB 3

Jan 13, 2026 By Suyash Joshi In InfluxData
For IT and OT engineers managing Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and other distributed energy resources (DER), the challenge isn’t just dealing with energy. It’s a data problem, or managing the massive stream of real-time telemetry these systems generate. For example, a BESS site produces a constant stream of time-series data from BMS, PCS, SCADA, EMS, and more, and operating it means ingesting, correlating, and acting on that data in real time. And this challenge changes with scope.
