Storage System Configured for Use with an Energy Management System
7 Dec 23
A storage system configured for use with an energy management system is provided and includes a battery having a plurality of cells and a propagation barrier comprising a first set of slabs, phase change material, an opening positioned adjacent the phase change material, a second set of slabs positioned between the first set of slabs and configured such that as temperature of an initiating cell increases, the phase change material absorbs energy and melts so that a previous volume occupied by the phase change material is replaced with air to create high temperature gradient that reduces adjacent cell temperature rise.
