When a battery energy storage system (BESS) has a multilayered approach to safety, the thermal runaway, fire, and explosion hazards can be mitigated. Successful implementation of this approach requires cooperation, collaboration, and education across all stakeholder groups to break down these preconceived notions.
A battery is a device that can store energy in a chemical form and convert it into electrical energy when needed. There are two fundamental types of chemical storage batteries: (1) The rechargeable, or secondary cell. (2) The nonrechargeable, or primary cell. They both discharge energy in a similar fashion, but only one of them permits multiple
