A battery energy storage system can fail for many reasons, including environmental problems, poor construction, electrical abuse, physical damage or temperature issues. A failed system could cause the battery to explode, catch fire or emit poisonous gases. Working with batteries can also lead to several hazards.
Hazardous conditions due to low-temperature charging or operation can be mitigated in large ESS battery designs by including a sensing logic that determines the temperature of the battery and provides heat to the battery and cells until it reaches a value that would be safe for charge as recommended by the battery manufacturer.
Everyone’s safety around the battery energy storage system is crucial. Therefore, implementing hazard detection systems — such as voltage and current monitors, heat and smoke detectors, gas meters, an explosion study and fire suppression — will be necessary features.
Battery Energy Storage Systems are electrochemical type storage systems defined by discharging stored chemical energy in active materials through oxidation–reduction to produce electrical energy. Typically, battery storage technologies are constructed via a cathode, anode, and electrolyte.
Abusing a battery can result in an inoperable Energy Storage System (ESS). It can also lead to overheating, fire, and explosion. Mechanical abuse occurs when the battery is physically compromised, such as when it is crushed, dropped, penetrated, or otherwise distorted to failure by mechanical force.
This work describes an improved risk assessment approach for analyzing safety designs in the battery energy storage system incorporated in large-scale solar to improve accident prevention and mitigation, via incorporating probabilistic event tree and systems theoretic analysis. The causal factors and mitigation measures are presented.
