How to manage Energy Storage System (ESS) Containers?
Every year, there are many fire accidents involving lithium-ion batteries.
Particularly, an Energy Storage System (ESS) is equipped with many batteries, and the damage is extremely critical, once fire occurs.
Let's watch how Radionode products are used to monitor and prevent fire accidents of ESS containers from this video on YouTube.
The most important points for managing ESS containers are the temperature and humidity, and off-gas factors.
1. Temperature and Humidity monitoring to ensure stable ESS activity
Batteries are devices which handle chemical reactions and their performance varies greatly depending on the temperature and humidity at where they are stored. Maintaining constant temperature and humidity inside the ESS is a very basic requirement, but it is a crucial task because performance is degraded when the temperature is too low and the risk of fire increases when the temperature is too high.
Radionode RN171WC(RN171plus) data transmitter when it is installed inside the ESS container it measures temperature and humidity in real-time. In such scenarios, the UA10 is a sensor cartridge that supports precise temperature and humidity measurement. RN171WC model uses Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology to communicate and just requires one cable to transmit power and data. Furthermore the RN171WC transmitters use a range of communication protocols like Modbus TCP, HTTP and Telnet to send the temperature and humidity data in real-time.
2. Off-gas monitoring to prevent ESS fire
Lithium-ion, a main element of the ESS batteries, emit off-gas as the waste materials decompose. Off-gas is rapidly produced in a massive amount when the battery temperature rises due to overcurrent, overvoltage, or overcharge. Solutions with monitoring accuracy delivering consistent and reliable control of toxic gas is required.
If you use the UA5X gas sensor product line of Radionode in the ESS, subtle chemical changes of batteries and occurrence of off-gas can be remotely detected in real-time. To prevent fire or battery damage, Radionode provides you the precise measuring instrument and a platform to manage each and every measurement.
The combination of real-time transmission, pervasive monitoring and embracing various sensing technologies is the strength of Radionode devices. Radionode is the best choice for building a battery environmental monitoring system for ESS and energy storage devices.
Currently,The Radionode is cooperating with various ESS-related enterprises, including LG Energy Solutions to ensure for a better future.
