Technical FAQs 4

What is a battery energy storage safety program?

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.

What makes a good energy storage management system?

The BMS should be resistant to any electromagnetic interference from the PCS (power conversion system) and must be able to cope with current ripple without nuisance warnings and alarms. Interoperability is achieved between the BMS, PCS controller, and energy storage management system with proper integration of communications.

How should energy storage systems be certified?

Certifications based on standards should be completed at the battery as well as entire system level. Attention should be paid to limitations of the systems that are related to fire, smoke, toxicity, and environmental pollution. Maintenance and periodic audits are imperative for safe functioning of long-term energy storage installations.

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.
