6 FAQs about [Safety planning and deployment of energy storage systems]

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.

How will grid scale electricity storage improve health and safety standards?

The deployment of grid scale electricity storage is expected to increase. This guidance aims to improve the navigability of existing health and safety standards and provide a clearer understanding of relevant standards that the industry for grid scale electrical energy storage systems can apply to its own process (es).

What are electrochemical energy storage deployments?

Summary of electrochemical energy storage deployments. Li-ion batteries are the dominant electrochemical grid energy storage technology. Characteristics such as high energy density, high power, high efficiency, and low self-discharge have made them attractive for many grid applications.

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 are the safety requirements for electrical energy storage systems?

Electrical energy storage (EES) systems - Part 5-3. Safety requirements for electrochemical based EES systems considering initially non-anticipated modifications, partial replacement, changing application, relocation and loading reused battery.

Who commissioned the energy storage health and safety guidance?

The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero commissioned this guidance on behalf of the industry-led Electricity Storage Health and Safety Governance Group. Frazer-Nash Consultancy was selected to undertake the project. Is this page useful?
