The International Fire Code (IFC) published its most robust ESS safety requirements in the most recent 2021 edition. By far the most dominant battery type installed in an energy storage system is lithium-ion, which brings with it particular fire risks.
Power generation and energy storage fires can be very costly, potentially resulting in a total write-off of the facility. Fires happen quickly and may spread fast, destroying critical company assets. Passive fire protection may lower risk but ignition sources and fuel supplies remain.
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) containers are revolutionizing how we store and manage energy from renewable sources such as solar and wind power. Known for their modularity and cost-effectiveness, BESS containers are not just about storing energy; they bring a plethora of functionalities essential for modern energy management. 1.
Furthermore, more recently the National Fire Protection Association of the US published its own standard for the ‘Installation of Stationary Energy Storage Systems’, NFPA 855, which specifically references UL 9540A. The International Fire Code (IFC) published its most robust ESS safety requirements in the most recent 2021 edition.
BESS assets can be found at all scales, from in-cabinet to container to in-building. Although an energy asset, Battery Energy Storage Systems are not the preserve of traditional power and utility companies accustomed to dealing with the specialised operational demands.
Solutions that have been developed in recent years are Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), having the ability to capture and store excess generated electricity for delayed discharging. A BESS can also be standalone, connected directly to the grid.
