Yes, different safety installation codes and standards are used for energy storage sites with large utility-owned systems where the inverters and batteries are housed in separate locations and the entire project is often far from other buildings. For instance, the 1,600-MWh setup at Moss Landing in California follows these specific codes and standards.
Large-scale energy storage systems pose a greater risk for property and life loss than smaller systems due to their size. NFPA 855 requires 3 ft of space between every 50 kWh of energy storage for safety. However, the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) can approve closer proximities for larger storage systems based on thermal runaway test results from UL 9540A.
