6 FAQs about [Energy storage fire fighting system franchise]

What is battery energy storage fire prevention & mitigation?

In 2019, EPRI began the Battery Energy Storage Fire Prevention and Mitigation – Phase I research project, convened a group of experts, and conducted a series of energy storage site surveys and industry workshops to identify critical research and development (R&D) needs regarding battery safety.

What are the ESS safety requirements for energy storage systems?

The International Fire Code (IFC) published its most robust ESS safety requirements in the most recent 2021 edition. By far the most dominant battery type installed in an energy storage system is lithium-ion, which brings with it particular fire risks.

What happened at an energy storage system in Surprise AZ?

In 2019, a fire and explosion at an energy storage system in Surprise, AZ, near Phoenix, was triggered by an overheated lithium-ion battery injuring several first responders and resulting in significant damage to the facility and disruption to the surrounding community.

Where can I find information on energy storage failures?

For up-to-date public data on energy storage failures, see the EPRI BESS Failure Event Database.2 The Energy Storage Integration Coun-cil (ESIC) Energy Storage Reference Fire Hazard Mitigation Analysis (ESIC Reference HMA),3 illustrates the complexity of achieving safe storage systems.

Do I need NFPA 855 for a stationary energy storage system?

For this reason, we strongly recommend applying the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 855 Standard for the Installation of Stationary Energy Storage Systems along with guidance from the NFCC Grid Scale Battery Energy Storage System Planning. Further information can be found in the NFCC BESS Planning Guidance Document.

What happens if a power generation & energy storage facility fires?

Power generation and energy storage fires can be very costly, potentially resulting in a total write-off of the facility. Fires happen quickly and may spread fast, destroying critical company assets. Passive fire protection may lower risk but ignition sources and fuel supplies remain.
