Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are a promising energy storage media that are widely used in BESS due to their high energy density, low maintenance cost, and long service life [, , ].
Lithium cells store and release power by converting chemical potential energy into electrical energy using lithium ions or lithium metal. Electrolyte solutions allow ions to flow freely between the electrodes. There are several types of lithium cells, including cylindrical cells, prismatic pouch cells, and prismatic metal can cells.
The research project, led by IAFF and ULS, was funded through a Department of Energy grant. It consisted of 4 large-scale tests using a mockup of a residential lithium-ion battery ESS installed in a two-car garage. The ESS was designed with three units containing an equivalent energy capacity of 17 kWh per unit.
