Questões de segurança no armazenamento de energia comercial e industrial

Visão geral dos sistemas de armazenamento de energia comercial e industrial

Industrial and commercial energy storage system is important for managing energy utilization and improving resource utilization. These systems typically consist of several key components: like battery storage, these can be lithium-ion, lead-acid, or flow batteries, mechanical storage involves flywheels, and thermal storage mediums which uses heat. Main charge and discharge cycles are regulated by the inverters and controllers, while energy management system (EMS) monitor and control the power electronic devices in real time.

The basic scalable operational principle involves the storage of excess energy during low demand and supply it during high load which helps in managing the grid and incorporating RE’s. Examples of uses: peak shaving – the intention is to save money by releasing stored energy during a period of high demand; backup power; load leveling used with the purpose of efficient use of energy.

These systems are critical in the commercial and industrial environment primarily for their cost-effectiveness, providing protection to against blackouts, and acting as enablers for renewable generation. As the energy sector consolidates ahead energy transition, energy storage has a significant potential to revolutionize the way energy is processes as it moves to efficiency.

Safety Challenges of Energy Storage Systems

As it has been demonstrated energy storage systems bring numerous advantages, they present numerous safety issues which should be addressed and controlled very closely. The critical issues are batteries, thermal, and electrical issues.

Gerenciamento de bateria:

Overcharging and Overdischarging: Mismanagement in this aspect therefore results into other forms of degradation, reduced lifespan and other detrimental incidents such as fire outbreaks and explosions.

Battery Swelling: If the lithium-ion batteries are overcharged they get swollen which presents some physical dangers to the system and environment.

Internal Short Circuits: Injury to machines or glitches during the manufacturing process can bring about short circuits and therefore thermal runaway.

Gerenciamento termal:

Heat Generation: Energy stored in batteries produces heat during charging and also during the discharge process. When this is not well handled, it reaches a stage where the temperatures control is out of control hence worsening to the level of thermal throttling.

Cooling Systems: Uncontrolled cooling systems can also become a problem with respect to cooling down of equipment and hence affects the failure rate and hazardous conditions.

Segurança elétrica:

Insulation Failures: Inadequate insulation causes the flow of current to the building and they can get shocked by electrical current or short circuit.

Electrical Fires: Faulty converters and inverters are a threat and may lead to electrical fires, a danger to employees and establishments.

These challenges justify the need to have adequate safety measures amply put in place, and constant vigilance in operation of energy storage systems.

SUNGO's Integrated Solar and Storage Solutions

The company has also developed a complete home smart energy solution for the home users through SUNGO Energy. The solution integrates SUNGO intelligent optimizer, high voltage stacked energy storage, and intelligent control system to deliver clean, efficient and safe power to the users. Clients may control the home power generation, power consumption and storage in real time via their updated mobile phone APP system and switch the operational mode of the energy storage system depending on the need for energy saving, reduced emission and affordable electricity bills.

Operation and Maintenance Management and Safety Monitoring

The iSungo platform aims at redefining operation and maintenance management and safety monitoring in diverse industries by introducing new methods and technologies. Such a comprehensive solution has robust tools for scheduling, task distribution and performance monitoring, which means that any delay can be minimized and productivity improved through real-time identification of operational impediments. Utilizing a mixture of both strategies: preventive and predictive maintenance strategies, iSungo minimizes costs while maximizing asset life extension and providing safety governance and compliance through safety monitoring of internet devices using sensor integration. The platform delivers insights that are actionable based on data through customizable dashboards and automated reporting which enables the organization to take the right action. In addition, iSungo provides such scalability and compatibility with other enterprise applications that no organization will be restrained within its bounds, and saw it as an opportunity for improvement grasping as much of the operational and safety aspects as it is possible. This will not only help keep businesses on the course towards success as technology continues advancing but also provide additional relief.

Padrões Regulatórios e Conformidade

It is of utmost importance to meet local and international requirements regarding safety and health during the implementation and operation of energy storage systems. Certain requirements related to battery safety, system integration, and performance are defined in several standards, for example, UL 9540 (North America) or IEC 62619 (International).

Companies should make every effort to comply with these standards as long as their systems are to be maintained in a safe and useful regulatory state. Violations of these requirements may entail a high cost and legal obligations which goes against the advantages of energy storage systems investments.

Regulatory standards provide a way to measure performance against best practice and help to ensure that energy management systems follow the most appropriate practices in their design, installation and operation. The observance of these standards protects people, capital assets, and the habitat.

Finally, even though commercial and industrial energy storage systems promise a lot, the great expectations will only be met if all energy storage design, construction, operation, and regulations are followed. The possibilities offered by energy storage technology will be fully used without risks for the industry if safety issues are reasonably considered and harsh safety measures are observed.
