Proper battery design, manufacturing and installation are necessary to ensure safety. The batteries themselves should include built-in safety features such as vents and separators. Energy storage systems should also have safety features to protect against short-circuiting, overcurrent, arc flashing, and ground faults.
To reduce the safety risk associated with large battery systems, it is imperative to consider and test the safety at all levels, from the cell level through module and battery level and all the way to the system level, to ensure that all the safety controls of the system work as expected.
Explosion protection, such as structural reinforcements and explosion relief panels, can help mitigate the effects of an explosion in containerised battery energy storage systems. Various process safety studies can be applied to battery operations.
FACTS: No deaths have resulted from energy storage facilities in the United States. Battery energy storage facilities are very different from consumer electronics, with secure, highly regulated electric infrastructure that use robust codes and standards to guide and maintain safety.
While it’s important to understand how dangerous a battery energy storage system can be when it goes bad, the hazards and exposures can vary depending on how the system is set up. Trudeau uses the example of a hospital replacing part of its uninterruptible power source with a standard 20-foot container of lithium-ion batteries.
Altogether, like other electric grid infrastructure, energy storage systems are highly regulated and there are established safety designs, features, and practices proven to eliminate risks to operators, firefighters, and the broader community.
