How can a holistic approach improve battery energy storage system safety?
Current battery energy storage system (BESS) safety approaches leads to frequent failures due to safety gaps. A holistic approach aims to comprehensively improve BESS safety design and management shortcomings. 1. Introduction
Is a holistic approach to battery energy storage safety a paradigm shift?
The holistic approach proposed in this study aims to address challenges of BESS safety and form the basis of a paradigm shift in the safety management and design of these systems. Current battery energy storage system (BESS) safety approaches leads to frequent failures due to safety gaps.
What's new in energy storage safety?
Since the publication of the first Energy Storage Safety Strategic Plan in 2014, there have been introductions of new technologies, new use cases, and new codes, standards, regulations, and testing methods. Additionally, failures in deployed energy storage systems (ESS) have led to new emergency response best practices.
Why is safety important in energy storage systems?
Safety is fundamental to the development and design of energy storage systems. Each energy storage unit has multiple layers of prevention, protection and mitigation systems (detailed further in Section 4). These minimise the risk of overcharge, overheating or mechanical damage that could result in an incident such as a fire.
What is a PLC-based battery management system (BMS)?
The proposed PLC-based BMS does not only leverage the distinctive features of PLCs controllers, but also it addresses the safety management and protection of the battery against abnormal operating conditions such as overcharging, deep discharge, over/under voltage, and temperature.
Are battery energy storage systems safe?
Safety incidents are, on the whole, extremely rare due to the incorporation of prevention, protection and mitigation measures in the design and operation of storage systems. A common concern raised by some communities living close to sites identified for battery energy storage systems is around the risk of fire.
