Despite the significant benefits, BESSs are subject to thermal runaway conditions because, at their core, they utilize rechargeable batteries.

Despite the significant benefits, BESSs are subject to thermal runaway conditions because, at their core, they utilize rechargeable batteries.

The hot market for BESSs is challenged by the basic fact that electrochemical energy storage is notoriously vulnerable to overheating.

The market's expansion can be attributed to rising demand for grid energy storage systems due to ongoing grid modernization, increasing penetration of lithium-ion batteries in the renewable energy sector, and the rising trend of adopting a low-carbon, fossil-fuel-free economy, as well as the ongoing renewable energy revolution.

BESSs can provide critical backup power, preventing potential revenue losses due to production delays and downtime. But, there’s more.

The project, a 10-MW/20-MWh li-ion energy storage system will be colocated alongside Ecotricity’s wind farm in Alveston, Gloucestershire, which was constructed in 2017. The lithium-ion batteries will be supplied by Kore Power, and the BESS will be controlled by ABB’s eStorage OS energy management system.  

Using a modular approach, ABB’s microgrid solutions allow data centers to operate fully off-grid, powered by their own solar or wind generation coupled with battery energy storage systems (BESS), or partially off-grid by utilizing both renewables and power networks.

The FDA241 has a VdS approval (no. S 619002) and performance verification as an early warning detection device for lithium-ion battery off-gas detection.
