What is the energy storage safety strategic plan?

Under the Energy Storage Safety Strategic Plan, developed with the support of the Department of Energy’s Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability Energy Storage Program by Pacific Northwest Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratories, an Energy Storage Safety initiative has been underway since July 2015.

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).

What is an energy storage roadmap?

This roadmap provides necessary information to support owners, opera-tors, and developers of energy storage in proactively designing, building, operating, and maintaining these systems to minimize fire risk and ensure the safety of the public, operators, and environment.

What is battery energy storage fire prevention & mitigation?

In 2019, 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.

What hazard clearances should be considered on an ESS?

Clearance to combustible materials and other hazards on the site must also be considered as well as clearances between any intakes or exhausts associated with the ESS and/or the buildings, structures or systems proximate to the ESS.

How can hazard analysis improve system-level safety?

The significant coupling between design variables increases the complexity of this task. In addition, rigorous haz-ard analyses, such as the ESIC Reference HMA (EPRI report 3002017136) or FMEAs, appear to be effective strategies for identifying and improving system-level safety.
