Safety issues of battery energy storage systems in communication base stations
This paper discusses multiple safety layers at the cell, module, and rack levels to elucidate the mechanisms of battery thermal runaway and BESS failures. . Battery Energy Storage Systems, or BESS, help stabilize electrical grids by providing steady power flow despite fluctuations from inconsistent generation of renewable energy sources and other disruptions. Over the last decade, the installed base of BESSs has grown considerably, following an increasing trend in the number of BESS failure. . Energy storage in the form of batteries has grown exponentially in the past three decades. The hazards and controls described below are important in facilities that manufacture lithium-ion batteries, items that include installation. . Around the globe energy storage systems are being installed at an unprecedented rate, and for good reasons.
