Energy storage equipment risk identification

Are safety engineering risk assessment methods still applicable to new energy storage systems?

While the traditional safety engineering risk assessment method are still applicable to new energy storage system, the fast pace of technological change is introducing unknown into systems and creates new paths to hazards and losses (e.g., software control).

Is systemic based risk assessment suitable for complicated energy storage system?

This paper demonstrated that systemic based risk assessment such Systems Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA) is suitable for complicated energy storage system but argues that element of probabilistic risk-based assessment needs to be incorporated.

What are the safety requirements for electrical energy storage systems?

Electrical energy storage (EES) systems - Part 5-3. Safety requirements for electrochemical based EES systems considering initially non-anticipated modifications, partial replacement, changing application, relocation and loading reused battery.

Which risk assessment methods are inadequate in complex power systems?

Traditional risk assessment methods such as Event Tree Analysis, Fault Tree Analysis, Failure Modes and Efects Analysis, Hazards and Operability, and Systems Theoretic Process Analysis are becoming inadequate for designing accident prevention and mitigation meas-ures in complex power systems.

What is a UL standard for energy storage safety?

Far-reaching standard for energy storage safety, setting out a safety analysis approach to assess H&S risks and enable determination of separation distances, ventilation requirements and fire protection strategies. References other UL standards such as UL 1973, as well as ASME codes for piping (B31) and pressure vessels (B & PV).

Which safety engineering risk assessment technique is better?

This paper finds that traditional safety engineering risk assessment technique (FTA, ETA, FMEA, HAZID HAZOP) is powerful and sharp in analysis of system components failures with linear interactions whereas systemic risk assessment technique (STPA) is more suitable for analysis of complex system and components interactions.
