Samsung SDI said on the 8th it will unveil "Samsung Battery Intelligence (SBI)," fire prevention software for energy storage systems (ESS), at "InterBattery 2026," to be held at COEX in Gangnam District, Seoul, from the 11th to the 13th.
SBI is a program based on artificial intelligence (AI) that diagnoses overall battery health, including battery conditions and abnormal signs, and detects and predicts potential problems in advance. By learning from data accumulated through real-time monitoring of more than 1,400 domestic and overseas ESS sites by Samsung SDI, it performs precise analysis of battery life and output.
In particular, SBI uses in-house developed condition-diagnostic indices to quantitatively evaluate operational quality such as variations in aging speed and output stability. This identifies potential abnormal cells and provides comprehensive battery condition analysis information that includes predictions of abnormal signs. Based on this, customers can reduce accident risk and manage batteries in optimal condition to cut operation and maintenance expense.
Samsung SDI plans to strengthen ESS safety management capabilities by combining SBI with its flagship hardware safety technologies, "embedded direct injection (EDI)" and "no thermal propagation (No TP)." Samsung SDI will first apply SBI to the "Samsung Battery Box (SBB) 1.5" product supplied to the domestic central contract market in October, then expand it to all product lines.
A Samsung SDI official said, "SBI is the culmination of real-world data collected from numerous sites at home and abroad combined with Samsung SDI's AI technology," adding, "We will continue to lead the global ESS battery market by providing the safest and most economical energy solutions based on our technological strength."
