Energy Storage Container is an energy storage battery system, which includes a monitoring system, battery management unit, particular fire protection system, special air conditioner, energy storage converter, and isolation transformer developed for the needs of the mobile energy storage market.
Safety is fundamental to the development and design of energy storage systems. Each energy storage unit has multiple layers of prevention, protection and mitigation systems (detailed further in Section 4). These minimise the risk of overcharge, overheating or mechanical damage that could result in an incident such as a fire.
Safety incidents are, on the whole, extremely rare due to the incorporation of prevention, protection and mitigation measures in the design and operation of storage systems. A common concern raised by some communities living close to sites identified for battery energy storage systems is around the risk of fire.
In addition to NYSERDA’s BESS Guidebook, ESA issued the U.S. Energy Storage Operational Safety Guidelines in December 2019 to provide the BESS industry with a guide to current codes and standards applicable to BESS and provide additional guidelines to plan for and mitigate potential operational hazards.

Safety management is a fundamental feature of all lithium-ion energy storage systems. Safety incidents are, on the whole, extremely rare due to the incorporation of prevention, protection and mitigation measures in the design and operation of storage systems.
