LG Energy Solution Vertech, the U.S. subsidiary of LG Energy Solution, said on Thursday that it has launched AEROS Intelligence, a new software platform that analyzes energy storage system (ESS) operating data to diagnose battery health and improve operational efficiency and profitability.

AEROS is an integrated software platform for ESS operations. It consists of AEROS Onsite, which handles on-site control and energy management, and AEROS Cloud, which handles remote monitoring, data analysis and reporting.

AEROS Intelligence builds on the existing cloud platform with enhanced data analysis and forecasting capabilities. Its four core functions — battery health diagnostics, predictive maintenance, energy optimization and warranty management — support everything from diagnosing battery health to predicting anomalies, optimizing charging and discharging, and managing warranties.

Operators previously monitored ESS performance and responded only after problems occurred. With the new platform, they are expected to be able to analyze accumulated data to predict and address battery anomalies. LG Energy Solution Vertech expects AEROS Intelligence to help customers put off additional equipment investments by 1.5 years or more, easing the burden of additional spending by millions of dollars.

Alongside its battery production in North America, LG Energy Solution provides integrated solutions that cover the entire ESS life cycle, from deployment and system integration (SI) to operations and maintenance. It does so through LG Energy Solution Vertech, its U.S. subsidiary specializing in ESS system integration. The subsidiary is enhancing proprietary software platforms such as AEROS by combining 17 years of accumulated ESS operating data with LG Energy Solution's battery design data.

Backed by these integrated solutions, LG Energy Solution's ESS order backlog in North America stood at about 160 GWh at the end of the third quarter this year. That secures most of the production volume planned through 2028. To meet rising demand for ESS batteries as artificial intelligence (AI) data centers spread across North America, the company plans to expand its North American ESS production capacity from 50 GWh at the end of this year to more than 70 GWh by the end of next year.
