Li-Ion based Battery Energy Storage System: Hazards Evaluation and Mitigation Techniques

Stationary battery energy storage systems (BESS) are gaining prominence as the landscape for energy production is shifting towards renewable resources. Li-Ion batteries are increasingly the preferred type of battery technology for these BESS. However, Li-Ion BESS with their inherent storage technology pose hazardous threats that need to minimized and managed. 

This presentation will include:

·        Overview of current trends in Li-Ion BESS design,

·        Operational hazards associated with BESS installations

·        The international engineering standards that govern the Li-BESS hazard analysis, and

·        Review engineering and performance-based modeling methodology for Li-BESS hazard analysis
