Battery Energy Storage Systems: Main Considerations for Safe
This webpage includes information from first responder and industry guidance as well as background information on battery energy storage systems (challenges & fires), BESS
Overview Battery energy storage systems (BESS) use rechargeable battery technology, normally lithium ion (Li-ion) to store energy. The energy is stored in chemical form and converted into electricity to meet electrical demand.
As shown in Fig. 3, the BESS consists of 50 containers, each of which is a sub unit of 1 MW/2 MWh. Each 1 MW/2 MWh energy storage container includes two sets of 500 kW PCS, 2 MWh battery and corresponding battery management system.
Standalone BESS are unique energy systems designed to operate independently without being directly connected to power generation sources. Their primary components include energy storage units like lithium-ion batteries, power conversion systems such as inverters and transformers, and thermal management solutions to ensure optimal performance.
For the energy management strategy of BESS, on the one hand, it is necessary to accurately estimate the SOC of the battery pack in real time , , , , on the other hand, it is necessary to balance the energy of the battery pack to avoid the extreme conditions of overcharge and discharge.
