reLi Energy-Unlocking Batteries’ Full Potential Integrating a software with stationary batteries to extend lifespan, optimize performance, and reduce energy costs and environmental impact

reLi Energy GmbH is a German startup focused on optimizing the performance and lifespan of stationary battery storage systems. The company, a spin-off from RWTH Aachen University, was co-founded by Dr.-Ing. Verena Hemberger, Dr.-Ing. Jannik Matuschke, and Dr.-Ing. Kai-Philipp Kairies. Their backgrounds are rooted in battery technology research, with experience at institutions like the Production Engineering of E-Mobility Components (PEM) and the Institute for Power Electronics and Electrical Drives (ISEA) at RWTH Aachen. The core of reLi Energy's offering is a proprietary software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution that integrates with existing battery management systems. This software employs advanced analytics and digital twins to create a detailed model of a battery's condition. By analyzing factors like cell aging, temperature, and load, the system optimizes the battery's operational strategy in real-time. This approach aims to significantly extend the operational lifetime of battery storage units, potentially by up to 35%, while also increasing energy cost savings by up to 70% through more efficient charging and discharging cycles. The technology is battery-chemistry agnostic, meaning it can be applied to different types of batteries. reLi Energy targets operators and owners of stationary energy storage systems, aiming to enhance the economic viability and reduce the environmental impact of their assets. By prolonging battery life, the company helps to defer costly replacements and minimize waste associated with lithium-ion batteries. The business model is based on licensing its software solution to clients.
