Introduction A battery energy storage system (BESS) is a type of system that uses an arrangement of batteries and other electrical equipment to store electrical energy. BESS have been increasingly used in residential, commercial, industrial, and utility applications for peak shaving or grid support.
In a world that is moving away from conventional fuels, lithium batteries have increasingly become the energy storage system of choice. Production and development of lithium-ion batteries are likely to proceed at a rapid pace as demand grows. The manufacturing process uses chemicals such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, and other hazardous materials.
Figure 1 depicts the various components that go into building a battery energy storage system (BESS) that can be a stand- alone ESS or can also use harvested energy from renewable energy sources for charging. The electrochemical cell is the fundamental component in creating a BESS.
Whether manufacturing or using lithium-ion batteries, anticipating and designing out workplace hazards early in a process adoption or a process change is one of the best ways to prevent injuries and illnesses.
An additional risk related to the Li-ion battery is a fire caused by thermal runaway that could be triggered by damage, short-circuit or overcharging. Therefore, an early warning system that detects off-gases and/or monitors combustible gasses may be suitable for battery manufacturing, recycling, and storage.
