What's new in energy storage safety?
Since the publication of the first Energy Storage Safety Strategic Plan in , there have been introductions of new technologies, new use cases, and new codes, standards, regulations, and testing methods. Additionally, failures in deployed energy storage systems (ESS) have led to new emergency response best practices.
What are the gaps in energy storage safety assessments?
One gap in current safety assessments is that validation tests are performed on new products under laboratory conditions, and do not reflect changes that can occur in service or as the product ages. Figure 4. Increasing safety certainty earlier in the energy storage development cycle. 8. Summary of Gaps
What if a developer wants to install energy storage?
If a developer wants to install an energy storage project in a jurisdiction that has not defined where storage is allowed, the developer is responsible for identifying a potential site and petitioning the jurisdiction to issue a conditional use permit or rezone the site to enable the project.
Are technology risks a barrier to the deployment of energy storage technologies?
Technology risks are a critical barrier to the deployment of energy storage technologies, and numerous technically feasible energy storage technologies have seen delayed deployment because developers are reluctant to be the first to undertake projects with new systems .
What should NREL consider when testing energy storage systems?
Photo by Owen Roberts, NREL Considerations for energy storage system testing include the following. If cost-justified by a large purchase, consider qualification testing of battery systems. Include test conditions in specifications for battery O&M diagnostics and testing.
What are the three pillars of energy storage safety?
A framework is provided for evaluating issues in emerging electrochemical energy storage technologies. The report concludes with the identification of priorities for advancement of the three pillars of energy storage safety: 1) science-based safety validation, 2) incident preparedness and response, 3) codes and standards.
