Challenge

The best time to establish protocols with your clients is when you onboard them.

The client has energy data points from electricity, gas, solar arrays and CHP metering which are spread across the two main campuses with 30 buildings managed by their Estates Department.

The collected data is used to achieve compliance with government reporting requirements. It is also used to monitor the impact of energy conservation measures and decarbonisation projects.

Solution

The best time to establish protocols with your clients is when you onboard them.

To meet the client's needs we installed the Energy and Carbon Management System and provided the University with a data repository and dashboard.

Monitoring of 8 Solar Arrays
One CHP plant
Thirty buildings supply meters - gas and electric

‍

Results

The best time to establish protocols with your clients is when you onboard them.

Solution provides evidence to calculate carbon emissions for each building
Provides comparisons for understanding consumption trends
Peak Demand to monitor supply capacity
Data is used for planning energy conservation measures and tracking the impact

Impacts

The best time to establish protocols with your clients is when you onboard them.

The service has been valued by the client and they have recently renewed their contract:

Decarbonisation: The service is used to provide data for decarbonisation initiatives
Convenience - All energy data is found on one portal
Economic Benefits: The service is used to reduce demand and therefore cost.

Continued monitoring and optimization of the system are planned to ensure maximum efficiency and performance.

Case Study: Monitoring 150MWh Battery Farm

Q Energy provided predictive maintenance and performance monitoring for Europe’s largest battery storage facility in Minety, UK—turning high-frequency BESS telemetry into actionable insights that improve reliability, stability and financial performance.

Clients: Penso Power, Huaneng Group Location: Minety, Wiltshire Timeline: Feb 2021 – Aug 2021 Category: BESS solution

Capacity & Coverage

150 MW → ~15,000 homes / 24h

Data Ingestion

18,000 pts / 10s

Outcome

Higher uptime & stability

Challenge

As the UK moves toward net-zero 2050, managing the balance between intermittent renewable output and demand is critical. Minety required a way to store surplus energy, reduce curtailment and stabilise market prices without sacrificing reliability.

Solution

Battery Performance Monitoring System: Sub-second, real-time data capture from cells—up to 18,000 data points every 10 seconds.
Predictive Analytics: AI models detect anomalies early to improve efficiency and financial performance.
Dashboard Visualisation: Clear, decision-ready dashboards to accelerate issue resolution.

Results

Enhanced Energy Management: Tighter control of stored energy improves grid stability and dispatchability.
Preventive Maintenance: Early detection reduces downtime and preserves asset performance.

Impact

Capacity & Coverage: 150 MW supports ~15,000 homes for 24 hours, accelerating the transition to net-zero.
Innovative Technology: A benchmark for data-driven BESS operations and maintenance.
Collaboration & Investment: Partnerships with Shell, Sungrow and The Huaneng Group showcase scalable deployment.

Following Minety, Q Energy is deploying the same model across new regions—expanding predictive maintenance capabilities and improving reliability of renewable energy storage systems at scale.
