BESS Failure Incident Database
The BESS Failure Incident Database was initiated in 2021 as part of a wider suite of BESS safety research after the concentration of lithium ion BESS fires in South Korea and the Surprise, AZ, incident in the US. The database was created to inform energy storage industry stakeholders and the public on BESS failures.

Lithium ion battery energy storage systems (BESS) hazards
BESS are typically designed to output for one to 4 h. This is governed by the charge rate (C-rate). A 1C charge rate means that a fully charged battery rated at 1Ah should provide 1 A for 1 h. The same battery discharging at 0.5C provides 1 A for 30 min. Generally, lithium ion batteries perform best for fast charge rates.

6 FAQs about [Bess c rate South Korea]
How many Bess installations are there in South Korea?
Of the 30 incidents in the database between 2018 and 2019, 27 occurred in South Ko-rea. The Korean government had provided strong economic incentives for BESS, especially paired with solar PV genera-tion. The number of installed BESS in South Korea rose from 30 in 2013 to 947 in 2018.
Why is South Korea implementing a Bess frequency regulation project?
South Korea is in the midst of the world’s largest BESS frequency regulation project. The target is to install 500MW by 2017. In addition to enhancing the efficiency of the grid, installing BESS capacity will reduce KEPCO’s need for readily available spinning reserve capacity.
What is a Bess database?
The focus of the database is on incidents that had a wider public health and safety impact, rather than on operational failures. Some helpful definitions follow: BESS: A stationary energy storage system using battery technology. The focus of the database is on lithium ion technologies, but other battery technology failure incidents are included.
What drives the Bess market in South Korea?
The BESS market in South Korea has been driven by the country's strong manufacturing base in the battery industry. Major battery manufacturers such as LG Chem and Samsung SDI Co., Ltd. are based in South Korea.
Why are there so many Bess operational failures in South Korea?
Considering root cause trends over time, the bulk of operational failures occurred in 2018-2019 when a signifi-cant number of BESS installed in South Korea experienced fires. Many of these were classified as operational failures since the SOC just before incidents was higher than recom-mended limits.
What does Bess stand for?
The global installed capacity of utility-scale batery energy storage systems (BESS) has dramatically increased over the last five years.
