To effectively manage operational safety, we need to look at four key areas: electrical safety, live working, emergencies, and work control. You will need to categorise the location of the battery energy storage system as a high voltage (HV) substation. This is due to the presence of HV switchgear, transformers and cable systems.
Part 1 of this 3-part series advocates the use of predictive maintenance of grid-scale operational battery energy storage systems as the next step in safely managing energy storage systems. At times, energy storage development in the electric power industry has preceded the formulation of best practices for safety and operating procedures.
Guidelines under development include IEEE P2686 “Recommended Practice for Battery Management Systems in Energy Storage Applications” (set for balloting in 2022). This recommended practice includes information on the design, installation, and configuration of battery management systems (BMSs) in stationary applications.
System integrators, utilities, government bodies, and professional organizations have put considerable effort into developing safety standards and best practices for the engineering, installation, and commissioning of grid-scale battery energy storage systems (BESSs).
Planned and reactive maintenance tasks associated with the battery installations will require work and testing on or adjacent to live low voltage (LV) apparatus. Only personnel qualified to do so should carry out these tasks. They should complete their work in accordance with specialised procedures and electrical safety rules.
However, safety incidents in the field have still led to total BESS destruction and posed risk to first responders. Despite the efforts of the energy storage industry to improve system safety, recent incidents show the need for a greater recognition of the limitations of current practices.
