In 2019, EPRI began the Battery Energy Storage Fire Prevention and Mitigation – Phase I research project, convened a group of experts, and conducted a series of energy storage site surveys and industry workshops to identify critical research and development (R&D) needs regarding battery safety.
This roadmap provides necessary information to support owners, opera-tors, and developers of energy storage in proactively designing, building, operating, and maintaining these systems to minimize fire risk and ensure the safety of the public, operators, and environment.
Quarterly energy storage fire safety webinars convening participants, test experts, vendors, and others to present findings, engage in Q&A, and advise on near-term research needs. Site hosts receive all collaborator deliverables plus results for each site-specific scope selected.
suppression equipment may or may not be provided as an integral part of an ESS, or it may be optional. Depending on the case, the ESS shall comply with all applicable performance requirements in the standard with and/or without the fire detection and fire suppression equipment in place and operational.
Setting up minimum separation from walls, openings, and other structural elements. The National Fire Protection Association NFPA 855 Standard for the Installation of Stationary Energy Storage Systems provides the minimum requirements for mitigating hazards associated with ESS of diferent battery types.
Industry insights will be incorporated to guide utility owners, operators, and off-takers in their design, procurement, planning, and incident response. This project is expected to directly inform battery energy storage system (BESS) siting, community risk assessment, failure event impacts, and emergency response procedures.
