Claimed as the first publicly available analysis of battery energy storage system (BESS) failures, the work is largely based on EPRI’s BESS Failure Incident Database and looks at the root causes of a number of events inputted to it.
Note that the Stationary Energy Storage Failure Incidents table tracks both utility-scale and C&I system failures. It is instructive to compare the number of failure incidents over time against the deployment of BESS. The graph to the right looks at the failure rate per cumulative deployed capacity, up to 12/31/2023.
The current research of battery energy storage system (BESS) fault is fragmentary, which is one of the reasons for low accuracy of fault warning and diagnosis in monitoring and controlling system of BESS. The paper has summarized the possible faults occurred in BESS, sorted out in the aspects of inducement, mechanism and consequence.
The operation data of actual energy storage power station failure is also very few. For levels above the battery pack, only possible fault information can be obtained from the product description of system devices. The extraction of the mapping relationship from symptoms to mechanisms and causes of failure is incomplete.
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.
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.
