science-based techniques used to validate the safety of energy storage systems must be documented a relevant way, that includes every level of the system and every type of system. These science-based safety validation techniques will be used by each stakeholder group to ensure the safety of each new energy storage system deployed onto the grid.
Nevertheless, the development of LIBs energy storage systems still faces a lot of challenges. When LIBs are subjected to harsh operating conditions such as mechanical abuse (crushing and collision, etc.) [16], electrical abuse (over-charge and over-discharge) [17], and thermal abuse (high local ambient temperature) [18], it is highly
It is a means for storing electricity in a system of batteries for later use. As a system, BESSs are typically a collection of battery modules and load management equipment. BESS installations can range from residential-sized systems up to large arrays of BESS containers supporting a utility-grade wind farm or grid services.
