This two-day course provides a comprehensive overview of stationary lithium-ion battery banks and stackable energy storage battery systems used in solar energy storage systems. The course is designed for engineers, technicians, and installers who are involved in the installation, inspection, testing, and maintenance of these systems.
The course covers the fundamental concepts of battery energy storage systems, including battery types and characteristics, electrochemistry basics, and battery management systems. Participants will gain an in-depth understanding of various battery energy storage technologies, including lithium-ion batteries, lead-acid batteries, sodium sulfur batteries, and flow batteries.
The course also covers the installation, commissioning, and maintenance of battery energy storage systems, including battery bank configurations, charging and discharging considerations, battery enclosures, safety requirements, and system integration and monitoring. Participants will learn about the importance of regular maintenance procedures, such as inspection, cleaning, tightening of connections, and replacement of damaged or worn components. They will also learn about various battery testing procedures, including capacity testing, internal resistance testing, load testing, float testing, and temperature testing.
The course includes a focus on the mitigation of explosion and fire hazards associated with battery energy storage systems, including the installation of thermal runaway barriers, use of fire suppression systems, and implementation of battery management system alarms and shutdown procedures.
At the end of the course, participants will have a comprehensive understanding of lithium-ion battery banks and stackable energy storage battery systems used in solar energy storage systems. They will be familiar with the installation, inspection, testing, and maintenance procedures of these systems, as well as the NFPA and other leading standards that govern the control of battery storage systems. Additionally, they will have the skills and knowledge needed to safely mitigate the risks associated with explosion and fire hazards, and to conduct comprehensive testing and maintenance of battery energy storage systems.
