Why clients choose it
- Early thermal-anomaly warning on energised systems
- No contact with high-voltage equipment
- Documented baselines that make later anomalies obvious
- Supports insurer and AHJ safety expectations
Typical assets
How it works
- 1
Baseline capture
A commissioning-state radiometric baseline of containers, doors, vents, and HVAC — the reference everything later is compared against.
- 2
Operating survey
Under representative charge/discharge load, external surfaces are mapped for hot zones, asymmetric venting, and HVAC anomalies.
- 3
Anomaly trending
Deviations from the baseline are quantified and trended — drift is the early language of cell-level trouble.
- 4
Escalation report
Findings ranked with recommended actions, formatted for operators, insurers, and fire-safety stakeholders.
Frequently asked
Can a drone detect thermal runaway risk in a battery system?
It detects the precursors visible at enclosure level: abnormal external temperature rise, asymmetric heat across racks or vents, and HVAC failure to hold setpoint. Caught early and trended against a baseline, those signatures justify internal investigation before an event — non-contact, at standoff distance from an energised system.
Why baseline a brand-new BESS installation?
Because anomaly detection is comparative. A commissioning thermal baseline turns every later survey into a precise diff — and it documents healthy-state behaviour for insurers and warranty discussions before any dispute exists.
How often should BESS thermography be repeated?
Common practice is quarterly to semi-annual surveys plus event-driven checks after faults, extreme weather, or capacity changes. We schedule programs to match operator SOPs and insurer expectations.
Is this safe around high-voltage equipment?
That is its core advantage — the entire survey is non-contact at standoff distance. Nobody opens an energised container or works adjacent to HV gear to collect the data.
