1. A system comprising:
a shipping container comprising:
a plurality of equipment racks, each comprising a plurality of electrical energy storage modules and a rack damper, and wherein each of the plurality of electrical energy storage modules comprises one of a plurality of temperature sensors and one of a plurality of module dampers;
a heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) unit;
a first duct extending continuously from an intake of the HVAC unit to an output of an equipment rack of the plurality of equipment racks thereby preventing a mixing of exhaust from the equipment rack with fresh air entering the equipment rack; and
a controller, configured to:
monitor temperature values from the plurality of temperature sensors; and
control an operation of the plurality of electrical energy storage modules, wherein the control comprises:
increasing a charge current or a discharge current of one of the plurality of electrical energy storage modules when the respective temperature value is less than a temperature setpoint value, or
decreasing a charge current or a discharge current of one of the plurality of electrical energy storage modules when the respective temperature value is greater than the temperature setpoint value,
wherein the first duct comprises a first end abutting the output and a second end abutting the intake, and wherein the first duct comprises a single section or element, wherein the rack damper and plurality of module dampers are controlled based on temperature measurements from respective sensors of the plurality of temperature sensors.
