Downloads of InfluxDB
Capture every signal
Grid-scale batteries and virtual power plants generate continuous, high-frequency telemetry across thousands of assets. InfluxDB is built to ingest and retain this data reliably, without lag or forced downsampling.
From individual assets to entire fleets, InfluxDB preserves high-resolution telemetry so operators and analysts always have a consistent, complete view.
InfluxDB 3 is built for BESS workloads
Massive ingestion throughput
Ingest millions of points per second from battery cells, racks, inverters, meters, and grid interfaces without write bottlenecks or index tuning.
Handles millions of unique streams
Track every site, rack, module, cell, inverter, and market signal with clear tagging, without performance penalties as scale grows.
Real-time query performance
Query fresh telemetry in milliseconds to support live dispatch decisions, alarms, and operator dashboards.
Unified operational visibility
Bring together data across assets to give operators a single source of truth so they can track performance, spot anomalies, and act fast to prevent failures and outages.
Optimize revenue in real-time
InfluxDB delivers sub-second visibility into system state so operators and algorithms can respond instantly to price signals, grid conditions, and dispatch instructions.
Cost-efficient long-term retention
Store years of full-resolution telemetry in object storage with high-ratio compression—no forced downsampling that breaks analytics and ML.
BESS operators require real-time, resilient systems
InfluxDB provides the data infrastructure operations teams need to capture and act on telemetry in real time at both individual sites and across the fleet. Because this telemetry is captured at full resolution, it becomes the foundation for AI/ML-driven analysis, including equipment health assessment, predictive maintenance, and other long-horizon models.
Siemens Energy uses InfluxDB to monitor 23,000 battery modules across 70+ sites, analyzing billions of high-frequency sensor readings instantly to ensure quality, prevent downtime, and keep production running anywhere in the world.

Scottish Power Energy Networks (SPEN) replaced its legacy data historian with InfluxDB to handle the surge in data volume and high-cardinality metadata driven by the adoption of distributed energy resources (DERs). InfluxDB unifies analog telemetry and digital event data in a single platform, delivering real-time insights and fulfilling strict regulatory reporting requirements.

Telemetry that connects every grid
InfluxDB goes beyond storage and query. It gives energy and utility teams the infrastructure to act on their telemetry. Process data at the edge, retain massive volumes cost-effectively, and keep it accessible for real-time analysis. Identify grid instability early, predict equipment failures, optimize renewable integration, and act instantly across critical infrastructure, while ensuring reliability, efficiency, and resilience.
Deploy anywhere
Whether you're building on-prem, private cloud, edge, or multi-tenant cloud, InfluxDB meets developers where they are.
