Functional safety refers to the part of safety that ensures a system operates correctly in response to its inputs, even in the case of failures. For Energy Storage Systems, functional safety is vital because any failure, whether in hardware or software, could lead to catastrophic. . Two approaches, Hazard and Operability Analysis and System Theoretic Process Analysis, were used to evaluate hazards associated with automotive rechargeable energy storage systems (RESSs). The energy storage industry is committed to acting swiftly, in partnership with fire. . The International Renewable Energy Agency predicts that with current national policies, targets and energy plans, global renewable energy shares are expected to reach 36% and 3400 GWh of stationary energy storage by 2050. However, IRENA Energy Transformation Scenario forecasts that these targets. . Stationary battery energy storage systems (BESS) have been developed for a variety of uses, facilitating the integration of renewables and the energy transition. But if not properly managed, they can also present safety hazards. That makes functional safety a critical consideration when designing large Li-ion batteries like those found in EVs and BESS.
