For grid-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS), grounding and bonding is essential for safety and performance. The goal of grounding and bonding is to achieve customer-targeted resistance levels. These low resistance levels allow fault currents to easily discharge into the ground, protecting people, equipment and the BESS itself.
Grounding, in the context of electrical systems, is a direct physical connection to the earth. It is a fundamental safety measure that prevents electrical shock in the event of a fault. In a BESS container, the grounding connection is even more critical due to the high energy levels stored and the potential for electrical faults.
The design process of a substation grounding system requires many steps. The following steps were established by the IEEE Standard 80-2000 for the design of the ground grid: Step#5: Calculation of of the preliminary Grid Resistance, RG, of the grounding system in uniform soil. Step#6: Determination of Grid current, IG.
One of the most critical safety measures in a BESS is the grounding connection. Grounding, in the context of electrical systems, is a direct physical connection to the earth. It is a fundamental safety measure that prevents electrical shock in the event of a fault.
