1. A battery energy storage system comprising:
a plurality of rechargeable battery cells;
a cooling system configured to cool the plurality of rechargeable battery cells; and
a cooling management system configured to control the cooling system, the cooling management system comprising:
one or more battery temperature sensors configured to collect temperature data of the plurality of rechargeable battery cells;
one or more battery charge sensors configured to collect data of a state of charge of the plurality of rechargeable battery cells; and
a smart cooling controller, the smart cooling controller including at least:
an energy cost forecast processor configured to obtain an energy cost forecast of a current energy cost and a predicted future energy cost; and
a battery usage forecast processor configured to determine a battery usage forecast of a current usage of the plurality of rechargeable battery cells and a predicted future usage of the plurality of rechargeable battery cells,
wherein the smart cooling controller is configured to determine one or more times to cool the battery energy storage system based on the energy cost forecast, the state of charge, and the battery usage forecast, and
wherein the cooling management system is configured to control the cooling system to cool the battery energy storage system at the one or more times.
