Over the course of its life, a grid-connected battery must respond slowly or suddenly, depending on the grid demands. SwRI plans to accomplish this by developing a method to estimate performance degradation in grid-connected batteries and establish a correlation with battery fires. The more we know about what causes these fires, the better we can develop maintenance protocols to prevent them by replacing batteries before they cause damage and injury.
