Building a Cloud-Native BESS Data Platform for a Leading Energy Storage Fund
Transforming fragmented BESS data into a unified platform for real-time insight, protected trading intelligence, and portfolio-scale optimisation.
About the Client
A London listed energy storage fund, managing a rapidly expanding portfolio of BESS assets across five electrical grids. As a market leader in flexibility markets, the fund sought to deepen asset insight, safeguard its trading IP, and build a scalable foundation for long-term, AI-driven optimisation.
Market-Leading Storage Portfolio
Multi-Grid Operational Footprint
Commitment to AI-Driven Advantage
The Challenge
The fund faced growing complexity as its BESS portfolio expanded. Fragmented systems limited central visibility and slowed performance benchmarking, while disconnected data sources restricted access to high-frequency market and trading information.
At the same time, rising data volumes increased pressure on platform performance, security, and cost – all while the organisation needed to protect sensitive trading intelligence and maintain full data sovereignty.
To stay ahead of the market, the fund required a cloud-native platform paired with a trusted, ongoing managed service to ensure stability, security, and continuous innovation.
Our Approach
Hypercube partnered with the organisation across two key phases: building a modern BESS data platform and providing continuous operational oversight.
- Phase 1: Platform Build
- Integrated Data Architecture: Unified high-frequency site telemetry, market signals, and trading information within the client’s secure cloud environment, creating a single cohesive data layer.
- Advanced Analytics & Reporting: Delivered AI-enhanced operational and financial analytics that improved visibility into asset health, optimiser performance, and revenue drivers.
- Scalable Cloud Infrastructure: Designed a cost-effective, future-ready platform capable of supporting rapid portfolio expansion and the onboarding of new grid connections.
- Specialist Energy Domain Expertise: Applied deep BESS, energy trading, and data engineering knowledge to accelerate delivery, reduce integration friction, and maximise long-term impact.
- Phase 2: Managed service
- Continuous Monitoring & Optimisation: Ensured stability, uptime, and cost efficiency across environments.
- Secure Data Management: Maintained strong governance for sensitive trading and operational data.
- Performance & Cost Control: Proactive tuning to manage rising data volumes and cloud spend.
- Ongoing Innovation: Enabled new features, models, and integrations without platform disruption.
