Owners of energy storage need to be sure that they can deploy systems safely. Over a recent 18-month period ending in early 2020, over two dozen large-scale battery energy storage sites around the world had experienced failures that resulted in destructive fires. In total, more than 180 MWh were involved in the fires.
(Refer to Appendix F2, Silent Accelerated Test); or A battery capacity meter test. (Refer to Appendix F3, Battery Capacity Meter Test); or In liew of the above battery tests, replace the battery with a new set having a current date code, amp-hour capacity and of a type as recommended by the manufacturer of the fire alarm system.
For up-to-date public data on energy storage failures, see the EPRI BESS Failure Event Database.2 The Energy Storage Integration Coun-cil (ESIC) Energy Storage Reference Fire Hazard Mitigation Analysis (ESIC Reference HMA),3 illustrates the complexity of achieving safe storage systems.
Common standards in the battery room include those from American Society of Testing Materials (ASTM) and Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). Model codes are standards developed by committees with the intent to be adopted by states and local jurisdictions.
Those responsible for compliance in a battery room may be in facility management, EH&S and also risk mitigation. The history of regulatory evolution has been a challenge to follow as the code writers went from regional to national organizations and committees.
In total, more than 180 MWh were involved in the fires. For context, Wood Mackenzie, which conducts power and renewable energy research, estimates 17.9 GWh of cumulative battery energy storage capacity was operating globally in that same period, implying that nearly 1 out of every 100 MWh had failed in this way.1
