Abstract
Systems and methods for controlling the temperature of an energy storage system are provided. More specifically, a time period of increased battery temperature attributable to, for instance, charging or discharging of the battery can be identified. A control system can be used to reduce the ambient temperature of a space associated with the battery energy storage devices in the time period prior to or immediately before the period of increased battery temperature. The ambient temperature can be maintained at a nominal ambient temperature at other times.
