What is battery energy storage fire prevention & mitigation?
In , EPRI began the Battery Energy Storage Fire Prevention and Mitigation – Phase I research project, convened a group of experts, and conducted a series of energy storage site surveys and industry workshops to identify critical research and development (R&D) needs regarding battery safety.
Are energy storage systems a fire hazard?
However, like any electrical infrastructure, energy storage systems come with their own set of risks, particularly fire hazards. This is where the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 855 comes in. NFPA 855 is a standard that addresses the safety of energy storage systems with a particular focus on fire protection and prevention.
What are the fire and building codes for energy storage systems?
However, many designers and installers, especially those new to energy storage systems, are unfamiliar with the fire and building codes pertaining to battery installations. Another code-making body is the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). Some states adopt the NFPA 1 Fire Code rather than the IFC.
