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.
NYSERDA published the Battery Energy Storage System Guidebook, most-recently updated in December 2020, which contains information and step-by-step instructions to support local governments in New York in managing the development of residential, commercial, and utility-scale BESS in their communities.
hnologyProposed Battery Energy Storage System EquipmentThe proposed equipment for the BESS is Samsung SDI E5 Lithium-ion battery stored in CEN 20’ ISO co tainers. The storage capacity is 48 MW, 4-hour duration. The system is currently undergoing fi
Finally, state and local building, fire, and zoning requirements should also be met. For the purposes of CPCN review and approval, we recommend that future CPCN applicants with battery storage systems be required to submit plans for battery siting, safety, and decommissioning to the PSC, for review and approval, before construction begins.
Therefore, if you install multiple storage units, you have to space them three feet apart unless the manufacturer has already done large-scale fire testing and can prove closer spacing will not cause fire to propagate between adjacent units.
