Battery Energy Storage: Blueprint for Safety
This Blueprint for Safety fact sheet provides a comprehensive framework that presents actionable and proven solutions for advancing safety at the national, state, and local level. The goal
In general, energy that is stored has the potential for release in an uncontrolled manner, potentially endangering equipment, the environment, or people. All energy storage systems have hazards. Some hazards are easily mitigated to reduce risk, and others require more dedicated planning and execution to maintain safety.
Interest in storage safety considerations is substantially increasing, yet newer system designs can be quite different than prior versions in terms of risk mitigation. An uncontrolled release of energy is an inevitable and dangerous possibility with storing energy in any form.
Since the publication of the first Energy Storage Safety Strategic Plan in 2014, 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.
It emphasizes collaboration with fire departments, safety experts, policymakers, and regulators to implement safety recommendations. The goal is to ensure the safe and reliable performance of battery energy storage systems as critical power grid infrastructure.
