Technical FAQs 4

Why do battery energy storage systems need grounding and bonding?

For grid-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS), grounding and bonding is essential for safety and performance. The goal of grounding and bonding is to achieve customer-targeted resistance levels. These low resistance levels allow fault currents to easily discharge into the ground, protecting people, equipment and the BESS itself.

Why is grounding important in battery management systems (BMS)?

Grounding in Battery Management Systems (BMS) is crucial for ensuring voltage and current measurement accuracy. Accurate voltage measurements depend on a stable ground reference. If the BMS ground is improperly connected or affected by noise, voltage readings can become distorted.

Do you need a grounding DC power supply?

The answer is not a straightforward yes or no. This article explores the benefits and drawbacks of grounding DC power supplies. DC power supplies are a common, perhaps almost guaranteed, component of any control system, especially one containing a digital controller.

Does a 24V DC power supply need to be grounded?

So, the short answer for some 24V DC systems is no, the output is not required to be connected to ground. From the UL 508A specification, there are further answers that also dictate grounding depending on the input voltage of the power supply. Figure 1. Grounding power supplies inside a control cabinet can be a difficult decision.
