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
Are battery energy storage systems safe?
The integration of battery energy storage systems (BESS) throughout our energy chain poses concerns regarding safety, especially since batteries have high energy density and numerous BESS failure events have occurred.
What is a battery energy storage system (BESS)?
The implementation of intermittent, renewable electricity generation requires an increase in electricity storage. Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are a type of storage solution that stores electrical energy using batteries and other electrical devices.
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 are examples of energy storage systems standards?
Table 2. Examples of energy storage systems standards. UL 9540 is a standard for safety of energy storage systems and equipment; UL 9540A is a method of evaluating thermal runaway in an energy storage systems (ESS); it provides additional requirements for BMS used in ESS.
