Abstract: The disclosure provides seals for devices that operate at elevated temperatures and have reactive metal vapors, such as lithium, sodium or magnesium. In some examples, such devices include energy storage devices that may be used within an electrical power grid or as part of a standalone system. The energy storage devices may be charged from an electricity production source for later discharge, such as when there is a demand for electrical energy consumption.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides energy storage systems and methods for operating energy storage systems. The systems and methods can flow a thermal management fluid through a structural member, such as a frame, of the energy storage system to maintain the system at an operating temperature, operate the system in an energy efficient manner, extend the operating lifetime of the system, provide emergency operation features and/or enable the system to operate during periods in which it may provide optimum or otherwise enhanced value.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides cell housings and cell packs that are designed to serve both electrical and structural functions. Cell housing side walls can be directly joined together to create parallel connections within a module of cells. The series connections can be formed by stacking one cell on top of another cell, thus connecting the opposing polarity terminals of the two cells. The cells can be designed to support the weight of the cells above without the use of additional framework. This approach can reduce tertiary interconnection mechanisms and/or the number of components required to electrically connect and structurally support cells, thus providing increased system efficiency and/or a reduced system cost.
