How can advanced energy storage systems be safe?

The safe operation of advanced energy storage systems requires the coordinated efforts of all those involved in the lifecycle of a system, from equipment designers, to OEM manufacturers, to system designers, installers, operators, maintenance crews, and finally those decommissioning systems, and, first responders.

How should energy storage systems be designed?

Designing resilient systems: although it is impossible to design for any scenario, energy storage systems should be designed to withstand common and uncommon environmental hazards in the areas they will be deployed.

Do energy storage systems need a CSR?

Until existing model codes and standards are updated or new ones developed and then adopted, one seeking to deploy energy storage technologies or needing to verify an installation’s safety may be challenged in applying current CSRs to an energy storage system (ESS).

What efficiencies should a energy storage system have?

For an energy storage system, at least the round-trip efficiency of the system between 0% SoE and 100% SoE at the system’s continuous power rating should be specified. In addition, round-trip efficiencies between partial SoE levels at various power levels may be given.

What is a battery storage system (SOE)?

The SoE indicates the available energy of a battery storage system in Wh. For most battery applications and any grid connected battery application only the available energy in Wh is relevant. Due to changes in the battery voltage over the SoC, the SoC cannot be used as a measure of available energy.

How do you ensure energy storage safety?

Ultimately, energy storage safety is ensured through engineering quality and application of safety practices to the entire energy storage system. Design and planning to prevent emergencies, and to improve any necessary response, is crucial.
