Watch as Trina Storage's Hakeem Dairo and TÜV NORD's Shimeng Wei explore practical solutions for fire hazards, thermal runaway, and compliance with global safety standards.
To reduce the safety risk associated with large battery systems, it is imperative to consider and test the safety at all levels, from the cell level through module and battery level and all the way to the system level, to ensure that all the safety controls of the system work as expected.
Batteries should be sourced only from reputable suppliers and should be stored safely. Careful consideration should be given to mitigating the risks of storage in communal or enclosed areas, or near to escape routes. Battery damage and disposal can pose a significant risk.
However, despite the glow of opportunity, it is important that the safety risks posed by batteries are effectively managed. Battery power has been around for a long time. The risks inherent in the production, storage, use and disposal of batteries are not new.
Hazardous conditions due to low-temperature charging or operation can be mitigated in large ESS battery designs by including a sensing logic that determines the temperature of the battery and provides heat to the battery and cells until it reaches a value that would be safe for charge as recommended by the battery manufacturer.
Careful consideration should be given to mitigating the risks of storage in communal or enclosed areas, or near to escape routes. Battery damage and disposal can pose a significant risk. Where the battery is damaged, it can overheat and catch fire without warning.
Battery power has been around for a long time. The risks inherent in the production, storage, use and disposal of batteries are not new. However, the way we use batteries is rapidly evolving, which brings these risks into sharp focus.

This work describes an improved risk assessment approach for analyzing safety designs in the battery energy storage system incorporated in large-scale solar to improve accident prevention and mitigation, via incorporating probabilistic event tree and systems theoretic analysis. The causal factors and mitigation measures are presented.
Principles of incorporating both component and sys-temic view, assessment of safety barrier failures and assessment of indirect causal factors in abnormal sys-tem states are necessary to develop an adequate safety framework for complex energy systems such as an LSS with BESS.
safety in energy storage systems. At the workshop, an overarching driving force was identified that impacts all aspects of documenting and validating safety in energy storage; deployment of energy storage systems is ahead of the codes, standards and regulations (CSRs) needed to appropriately regulate deployment.
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).
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.
Table 3.1. Energy Storage System and Component Standards 2. If relevant testing standards are not identified, it is possible they are under development by an SDO or by a third-party testing entity that plans to use them to conduct tests until a formal standard has been developed and approved by an SDO.
A UL 9540-certified energy storage system (ESS) must use UL 1741-certified inverters and UL 1973-certified battery packs that have been tested using UL 9540A safety methods. The batteries and inverter inside such a system have all met product safety standards.
Safety standard for stationary batteries for energy storage applications, non-chemistry specific and includes electrochemical capacitor systems or hybrid electrochemical capacitor and battery systems. Includes requirements for unique technologies such as flow batteries and sodium beta (i.e., sodium sulfur and sodium nickel chloride).
