Not to mention possible #hacking of operating systems -- you know, like the electronic devices in Lebanon?
"The root causes of #BESSfires and explosions can be attributed to a variety of factors, such as:
- Improper design is often a significant issue, where systems may not be sufficiently engineered to withstand operational stresses or may lack essential safety measures.
- Manufacturing defects can also play a critical role, as flaws in the production process may lead to issues during operation.
- Incorrect installation practices can result in connections that are not secure or that lead to short circuits.
- Incompatible components within the systems can further exacerbate risks by causing malfunctions.
- Failures during normal operations—such as overcharging, overheating, or errors in the battery management system—can lead to hazardous situations. These failures may arise from external factors like extreme weather, physical damage, or human errors, including inadequate maintenance.
"It’s important to note that failures can occur in different components of the BESS. While the batteries themselves often receive the most attention with respect to safety concerns, other critical aspects, such as control systems, transformers, fire suppression systems, and cooling mechanisms, can also play significant roles in influencing the overall safety of the system.
"For instance, if control systems are not programmed or calibrated correctly, they may fail to monitor and manage battery performance effectively, leading to overheating or even thermal runaway. Similarly, inadequately designed fire suppression systems may not activate promptly in the event of a fire, allowing the situation to escalate. Additionally, ineffective cooling mechanisms can contribute to excessive heat buildup."

BESS Failure Incident Database
The database compiles information about stationary battery energy storage system (BESS) failure incidents. There are two tables in this database:
- Stationary Energy Storage Failure Incidents – this table tracks utility-scale and commercial and industrial (C&I) failures.
- Other Storage Failure Incidents – this table tracks incidents that do not fit the criteria for the first table. This could include failures involving the manufacturing, transportation, storage, and recycling of energy storage.Residential energy storage system failures are not currently tracked.
If you would like to be notified when a new event is added to this database or are interested in other EPRI energy storage safety research resources and opportunities please reach out to [email protected]. For more information on energy storage safety, visit the Storage Safety Wiki Page.
The BESS Failure Incident Database was initiated in 2021 as part of a wider suite of BESS safety research after the concentration of lithium ion BESS fires in South Korea and the Surprise, AZ, incident in the US. The database was created to inform energy storage industry stakeholders and the public on BESS failures.
