Bess fejltilfældeanalyse

What is a Bess failure incident?

Some helpful definitions follow: BESS: A stationary energy storage system using battery technology. The focus of the database is on lithium ion technologies, but other battery technology failure incidents are included. Failure incident: An occurrence caused by a BESS system or component failure which resulted in increased safety risk.

Why is it important to understand the underlying causes of Bess failures?

However, as with any complex technological system, BESS are susceptible to failures impacting their performance, safety, and reliability. Understanding the underlying causes of these failures is critical for advancing the technology and ensuring its safe deployment.

What is a Bess database?

The database was created to inform energy storage industry stakeholders and the public on BESS failures. Tracking information about systems that have experienced an incident, including age, manufacturer, chemistry, and application, could inform R&D actions taken by the industry to improve storage safety.

What is a Bess element?

Affected BESS Element: Cell/module, controls, or balance of the system. The study analyzes the proportion of failures associated with each root cause and BESS element, the relationship between the two, and trends in failure types and rates over time. These insights guide industry efforts in optimizing safety research and product development.

What is a Bess report?

The report categorizes incidents using a biaxial framework that examines two key aspects: Root Cause of Failure: Design, manufacturing, integration/assembly/construction, or operation. Affected BESS Element: Cell/module, controls, or balance of the system.

Can EPRI guarantee that a Bess incident is captured?

EPRI cannot guarantee that the database captures every relevant BESS failure incident, nor can we guarantee that all project data related to an incident is captured. If you are aware of missing data, please contact our [email protected].
