What's new in energy storage safety?
Since the publication of the first Energy Storage Safety Strategic Plan in , there have been introductions of new technologies, new use cases, and new codes, standards, regulations, and testing methods. Additionally, failures in deployed energy storage systems (ESS) have led to new emergency response best practices.
Do energy storage systems need a CSR?
Until existing model codes and standards are updated or new ones developed and then adopted, one seeking to deploy energy storage technologies or needing to verify an installation’s safety may be challenged in applying current CSRs to an energy storage system (ESS).
How should energy storage systems be certified?
Certifications based on standards should be completed at the battery as well as entire system level. Attention should be paid to limitations of the systems that are related to fire, smoke, toxicity, and environmental pollution. Maintenance and periodic audits are imperative for safe functioning of long-term energy storage installations.
How did NFPA 855 impact the energy storage industry?
In Maryland and New York, the energy storage industry supported new regulations that enforced the latest NFPA 855 requirements. In California, the industry offered a suite of policy recommendations to address unique safety questions arising from the Moss Landing incident, including enforcing key provisions of NFPA 855.
What are the three pillars of energy storage safety?
A framework is provided for evaluating issues in emerging electrochemical energy storage technologies. The report concludes with the identification of priorities for advancement of the three pillars of energy storage safety: 1) science-based safety validation, 2) incident preparedness and response, 3) codes and standards.
