The key challenges in designing the battery energy storage system container included: Weight Reduction: The container design had to be lightweight yet strong enough to withstand operational stresses like shocks and seismic forces, ensuring the batteries were protected during transport and deployment.
A Battery Energy Storage System container is more than a metal shell—it is a frontline safety barrier that shields high-value batteries, power-conversion gear and auxiliary electronics from mechanical shock, fire risk and harsh climates.
Proposed recommendations ensure safety, battery placement and end-of-life storage. These recommendations are important to avoid near-fatal incidents associated with the use of such batteries. The growth in renewable energy (RE) projects showed the importance of utility electrical energy storage.
All building codes and specifications must be followed to design an energy storage room. This room has to be designed as an electrical workshop. In addition, some added equipment could ease and increase the room's safety, although they are not necessarily required, See Fig. 2 for details.
