Safety testing and certification for energy storage systems (ESS) Large batteries present unique safety considerations, because they contain high levels of energy. Additionally, they may utilize hazardous materials and moving parts. We work hand in hand with system integrators and OEMs to better understand and address these issues.

Think about the example above of the difference between a light bulb and an AC unit. If you have a 5 kW, 10 kWh battery, you can only run your AC unit for two hours (4.8 kW 2 hours = 9.6 kWh). However, that same battery would be able to keep 20 lightbulbs on for two full days (0.012 kW 20 lightbulbs * 42 hours = 10 kWh).

The PHES research facility employs 150 kW of surplus grid electricity to power a compression and expansion engine, which heats (500 °C) and cools (160 °C)
