With the expansion of renewable energy and the global trend of efficient energy consumption, energy storage solutions have attracted much attention, especially battery energy storage systems. BESS is a complex energy storage solution, the principle of operation can be simply summarized as: convert electrical energy into chemical energy, store it in the battery, and convert it into electrical energy output to supply power when needed. This process requires several core components:
​
Batteries: Electrical energy supplied by different sources such as solar, wind or power plants is converted into chemical energy during battery charging. The energy released during battery discharge can power homes, vehicles, commercial buildings, and the electrical grid. The battery is composed of single cells, which can be arranged into battery modules, battery packs and battery boxes.
Battery Management System (BMS): The BMS enables the safe and correct operation of the battery. Each battery type has specific charging and discharging conditions. The BMS ensures that the battery is maintained within the required current, voltage, and temperature ranges. The BMS monitors parameters and estimates the battery's state-of-charge (SOC) and state-of-health (SOH), thereby ensuring reliable and long-lasting battery performance.
Power Conversion System (PCS): Through the use of a power conversion system, BESS converts direct current (DC) into alternating current (AC) and vice versa. During battery charging, AC flows from the power supply and is converted to DC. As the battery discharges, it generates DC power, which is then converted back to AC power to supply the power required by the BESS application.
Energy Management System (EMS): The EMS is the control unit of the battery energy storage system and manages the power available to the BESS, i.e. when, why and in what amount it is accumulated or released. EMS can combine the various components of BESS and optimize the overall performance.
Security System: It can be composed of a series of security systems, each responsible for the specified work. For example, the HVAC system allows the BESS to maintain the desired temperature and humidity through HVAC. The fire protection system detects smoke and prevents fire accidents.

BESS is a complex solution, and the development and implementation of BESS will continue to play a critical role in meeting the world's energy needs as the world transitions to sustainable energy.

In a laboratory, it is essential to maintain a controlled environment to ensure accurate results and prevent the contamination of samples. One of the ways to achieve this is by using a container with negative pressure. Negative pressure, also known as a vacuum, is a process that reduces the air pressure inside a container to a level that is lower than the outside atmospheric pressure.

Negative pressure is created using a mechanical device, such as a vacuum pump, that removes the air molecules from the container. The vacuum pump creates a vacuum by reducing the pressure inside the container below the pressure outside the container. This creates a pressure differential, which forces air from outside the container to flow into the container, and not the other way around.

Negative pressure is often used in laboratory containers to prevent the release of hazardous materials or biological agents. This process is called containment. A container with negative pressure can prevent the release of harmful substances by ensuring that the air pressure inside the container is lower than the pressure outside. This prevents the air from flowing out of the container and carrying the hazardous material with it.

In addition to containment, negative pressure is also used in laboratory containers to prevent contamination. Contamination can occur when particles, such as dust or microorganisms, enter the workspace and settle on surfaces or samples. Negative pressure can prevent contamination by pulling in clean air from outside the container and filtering it before it enters the workspace. This creates a clean environment that is free from contaminants.

Negative pressure can also be used in laboratory containers to control the temperature and humidity of the workspace. The vacuum pump can remove moisture from the air, which can prevent the growth of microorganisms. This can be particularly important in a laboratory where humidity can impact the outcome of experiments.

In conclusion, negative pressure is a critical component of laboratory containers. It is used to contain hazardous materials, prevent contamination, and control the temperature and humidity of the workspace. A laboratory container with negative pressure can create a controlled environment that is essential for accurate results and the safety of laboratory personnel. Understanding how negative pressure works is an essential part of laboratory safety and experimentation.
