Abstract
A battery energy storage system can include an enclosure including a panel to provide access to a cavity defined by the enclosure. The battery energy storage system a frame positioned within the cavity. The frame can include a first rail to accommodate a first battery tray coupled with a first battery of a first battery type and a second rail to accommodate a second battery tray coupled with a second battery of a second battery type. A dimension of the first battery type is different than a dimension of the second battery type.
Claims20
A battery energy storage system, comprising:
- an enclosure including a panel to provide access to a cavity defined by the enclosure;
- a frame positioned within the cavity, the frame comprising:
- a first rail to accommodate a first battery tray coupled with a first battery of a first battery type, the first battery tray including a first lower portion extending inward by a first distance, the first distance being fixed;
- and
- a second rail to accommodate a second battery tray coupled with a second battery of a second battery type, the second battery tray including a second lower portion extending inward by a second distance, the second distance being fixed and being different than the first distance;
- wherein a dimension of the first battery type is different than a dimension of the second battery type.
A frame of a battery energy storage system, comprising:
- a first pair of rails coupled with the frame and separated by a distance, the first pair of rails to support a first battery tray, the first battery tray to accommodate a first battery type, the first battery tray including a first lower portion extending inward by a first distance, the first distance being fixed;
- a second pair of rails coupled with the frame and separated by the distance, the second pair of rails to support a second battery tray, the second battery tray to accommodate a second battery type, the second battery tray including a second lower portion extending inward by a second distance, the second distance being fixed and being different than the first distance;
- wherein a first battery of the first battery type includes a dimension that differs from a dimension of a second battery of the second battery type.
A method, comprising:
- coupling a first battery tray with a first battery of a first battery type, the first battery tray including a first lower portion extending inward by a first distance, the first distance being fixed;
- coupling a second battery tray with a second battery of a second battery type, the second battery tray including a second lower portion extending inward by a second distance, the second distance being fixed and different than the first distance;
- moving the first battery tray and the first battery along a first pair of rails of a battery energy storage system frame, the first pair of rails separated by a rail distance;
- and
- moving the second battery tray and the second battery along a second pair of rails of the battery energy storage system frame, the second pair of rails separated by the rail distance;
- wherein a dimension of first battery of the first battery type differs from a dimension of the second battery of the second battery type.
