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.
This work describes an improved risk assessment approach for analyzing safety designs in the battery energy storage system incorporated in large-scale solar to improve accident prevention and mitigation, via incorporating probabilistic event tree and systems theoretic analysis. The causal factors and mitigation measures are presented.
The integration of battery energy storage systems (BESS) throughout our energy chain poses concerns regarding safety, especially since batteries have high energy density and numerous BESS failure events have occurred.
Table 2. Examples of energy storage systems standards. UL 9540 is a standard for safety of energy storage systems and equipment; UL 9540A is a method of evaluating thermal runaway in an energy storage systems (ESS); it provides additional requirements for BMS used in ESS.
Energy storage safety gaps identified in 2014 and 2023. Several gap areas were identified for validated safety and reliability, with an emphasis on Li-ion system design and operation but a recognition that significant research is needed to identify the risks of emerging technologies.
