  • Publication number: 20240264234
    Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, and non-transitory computer-readable media are provided for anomaly detection in energy storage systems. In one implementation, the computer-readable media includes instructions to cause a processor to: receive usage data of a battery located within one or more energy storage units during a time period; input the usage data to a machine learning model; generate, based on processing of the usage data by the machine learning model, a predicted temperature of the battery at the end of the time period; receive, from a temperature sensor of the battery, a measured temperature of the battery at the end of the time period; determine a difference between the predicted temperature and the measured temperature; based on the determined difference, send an indication of a state of the battery; and based on the state of the battery, configure usage of the battery.

  • Publication number: 20240265474
    Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, and non-transitory computer-readable media are provided for optimizing energy dispatch. In one implementation, the computer-readable media includes instructions to cause a processor to: generate a plurality of energy dispatch patterns for utilizing one or more energy storage units; generate, based on data determined for each energy dispatch pattern of the plurality of energy dispatch patterns, a recommended energy dispatch pattern; and adjust the one or more energy storage units to dispatch electricity according to the recommended energy dispatch pattern.

  • Patent number: 5217823
    Abstract: A vent cap for use in a recombinant battery which includes a hollow barrel configured for gas-tight insertion into a vent hole in a battery cover. A retaining flange is formed at the closed end of the barrel, and a one-way relief valve formed on the barrel near its closed end. A layer of a polyalkylene explosion attenuating material surrounds the outside of the barrel below the flange and surrounding the relief valve. The polyalkylene material provides effective attenuation of explosions that occur in the vicinity of the relief valve. The invention further provides a vent cap assembly wherein the foregoing vent cap is mounted on a plastic vent cover of an otherwise conventional battery container.
