This product safety checklist provides guidance for developers, designers, manufacturers, and regulators, working on utility-scale lithium-ion Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).
A battery energy storage system (BESS) is a type of system that uses an arrangement of batteries and other electrical equipment to store electrical energy. BESS have
By its very nature, any form of stored energy poses some sort of hazard. In general, energy that is stored has the potential for release in an uncontrolled manner, potentially endangering equipment, the
Ensuring the Safety of Energy Storage Systems Thinking about meeting ESS requirements early in the design phase can prevent costly redesigns and product launch delays in the future.
Although energy storage is generally considered safe, potential risks such as electric shock (electrocution), operational faults, and electrical fires can pose significant threats and
Commercial and industrial (C&I) energy storage can significantly lower electricity costs, increase efficiency, and aid decarbonisation, but customers'' safety concerns must be addressed.
Each pre-engineered energy storage system comprising two or more factor-matched modular components intended to be assembled in the field is designed, tested, and listed in accordance
These safety standards and performance tests help to ensure that the technologies deployed in energy storage facilities uniformly comply with the highest global safety standards.
The safe operation of advanced energy storage systems requires the coordinated efforts of all those involved in the lifecycle of a system, from equipment designers, to OEM manufacturers, to system designers, installers, operators, maintenance crews, and finally those decommissioning systems, and, first responders.
Energy storage sites and systems should be kept secure from both physical and cyber-threats, just as with any grid-connected resource. Access to energy storage equipment should be firmly restricted, with sites and/or enclosures secured against very robust attempts at ingress.
Ultimately, energy storage safety is ensured through engineering quality and application of safety practices to the entire energy storage system. Design and planning to prevent emergencies, and to improve any necessary response, is crucial.
Access to energy storage equipment should be firmly restricted, with sites and/or enclosures secured against very robust attempts at ingress. However, contact information for 24-hour response should be provided to ensure quick access, should first-responders need access in the event of an emergency situation.
Designing resilient systems: although it is impossible to design for any scenario, energy storage systems should be designed to withstand common and uncommon environmental hazards in the areas they will be deployed.
Until existing model codes and standards are updated or new ones are developed and then adopted, one seeking to deploy energy storage technologies or needing to verify the safety of an installation may be challenged in trying to apply currently implemented CSRs to an energy storage system (ESS).
