Day 1

1. Critical safety requirements in relevant international standards

• IEC 62485-2
• IEC 62281
• IEC 61427

2. Types and plications of commonly used grid-tied ESS.

3. Key components of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)

4. Hazards (Mechanical, Electrical, Electrochemical, Thermal etc.) associated with BESSs’ entire lifecycle:

• Installation
• Commissioning
• Operation & maintenance
• Decommissioning

Practical

1. With FMEA, assess BESSs’ hazards and risks in terms of:

Failure modes

• Over-voltage and Under-voltage
• 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 BESSs’ 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.
