6 FAQs about [Containerized Energy Storage System Safety and Regulations]

What's new in energy storage safety?

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.

What regulations address fire and life safety requirements?

The following regulations address Fire and Life Safety requirements: California Fire Code (CFC), Section 1207, Electrical Energy Storage Systems; California Electrical Code (CEC), Article 706, Energy Storage Systems; and National Fire Protection Association: Standard on Stored Electrical Energy Emergency and Stand-by Power Systems (NFPA-111).

What are the safety concerns with thermal energy storage?

The main safety concerns with thermal energy storage are all heat-related. Good thermal insulation is needed to reduce heat losses as well as to prevent burns and other heat-related injuries. Molten salt storage requires consideration of the toxicity of the materials and difficulty of handling corrosive fluids.

What is a battery energy storage system?

Battery Energy Storage System (BESS): Battery Energy Storage Systems, or BESS, are rechargeable batteries that can store energy from different sources and discharge it when needed. BESS consist of one or more batteries. Personal Mobility Device: Potable electric mobility devices such as e-bikes, e-scooters, and e-unicycles.

Can energy storage be used as a temporary source of power?

However, energy storage is increasingly being used in new applications such as support for EV charging stations and home back-up systems. Additionally, many jurisdictions are seeing increasing use of EVs and mobile energy storage systems which are moved around to be used as a temporary source of power.

Is a Bess a walk-in structure or a cargo container?

2.5.1.3 The BESS is housed in an Energy Storage System Cabinet (as defined in CFC Chapter 2) and is not a walk-in structure nor a cargo container. 2.5.2.1 The structural construction documents shall meet Sections 2.1.1, 2.1.3 (foundation and anchorage only) and 2.1.6 above.
