BESS Failure:Â Study Identifies Opportunities for Battery Analytics to Prevent Incidents
There is currently no public resource that categorizes BESS incidents by cause of failure. The joint report from EPRI, PNNL & TWAICE fills this gap by analyzing aggregated failure data. Understanding how and why BESS fail is a major priority to the energy industry. Learning from failure incidents will improve prevention and mitigation measures. The report classifies failure events and provides recommendations for future development.
