Even though few incidents with domestic battery energy storage systems (BESSs) are known in the public domain, the use of large batteries in the domestic environment represents a safety hazard. This report undertakes a review of the technology and its application, in order to understand what further measures might be required to mitigate the risks.
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) balance the various power sources to keep energy flowing seamlessly to customers. We’ll explore battery energy storage systems, how they are used within a commercial environment and risk factors to consider. What is Battery Energy Storage?
Battery power has been around for a long time. The risks inherent in the production, storage, use and disposal of batteries are not new. However, the way we use batteries is rapidly evolving, which brings these risks into sharp focus.
To reduce the safety risk associated with large battery systems, it is imperative to consider and test the safety at all levels, from the cell level through module and battery level and all the way to the system level, to ensure that all the safety controls of the system work as expected.
As the energy crisis continues and the world transitions to a carbon-neutral future, BESS will play an increasingly important role. As the energy crisis continues and the world transitions to a carbon-neutral future, battery energy storage systems (BESS) will play an increasingly important role.
However, despite the glow of opportunity, it is important that the safety risks posed by batteries are effectively managed. Battery power has been around for a long time. The risks inherent in the production, storage, use and disposal of batteries are not new.
