Day 1
1. Critical safety requirements in relevant international standards
- IEC 62485-2
- IEC 62281
- IEC 61427
2. Types and applications of commonly used grid-tied ESS.
3. Key components of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)
4. Hazards (Mechanical, Electrical, Electrochemical, Thermal etc.) associated with BESS’s entire lifecycle:
- Installation
- Commissioning
- Operation & maintenance
- Decommissioning
Practical
1. With FMEA, assess BESS's hazards and risks in terms of:
Failure modes

- High C-rate
- High & Low Temperature
Effects and their Risk Priority Numbers (RPN)
- Thermal Runaway
- Release of Explosive Gases
- Spilling of Electrolyte
- Electrocution
Day 2
1. Safety requirements in the context of BESS's specific applications
- Residential
- Commercial
- Industry
- Stackable BESS
- Extreme temperature operating condition
- Repurposed BESS
Practical
1. Carry out hands-on assignments to set up a Battery Bank with BMS system at Cell and System level with PPE
2. Learning Journey to observe industry best practices operating and maintaining 3 BESS (Lead Acid, Lithium Ion and Redox Flow Battery Systems) at Energy System Live Laboratories in Temasek Polytechnic.
