Battery power has been around for a long time. The risks inherent in the production, storage, use and disposal of batteries are not new. However, the way we use batteries is rapidly evolving, which brings these risks into sharp focus.
The extremely high, intrinsic stored electrochemical and chemical energy density in large battery energy storage systems (BESS) has the very real potential to cause catastrophic disasters and dangers-to = life.
The external environment (which controls the temperature, voltage, and electrochemical reactions) is the leading cause of internal disturbances in batteries . Thus, the environment in which the battery operates also plays a significant role in battery safety.
Battery safety issues are criticized for fatal fire/explosion accidents in recent years despite impressive growth in sales of batteries. Even though these accidents happen rarely, the high risks associated with fire/explosion cannot be overlooked.
