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.
Why are energy storage resources important?
Energy storage resources have become an increasingly important component of the energy mix as traditional fossil fuel baseload energy resources transition to renewable energy sources. Currently 23 states, plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, have 100% clean energy goals in place.
Are energy storage projects conflicting with other land uses?
Since , the amount of utility-scale energy storage installed in the U.S. has grown at an average rate of 75 percent per year. Since , the annual growth rate is 134 percent (including planned installations for ). As storage projects proliferate in the U.S., the potential for them to come into conflict with other land uses increases.
Can energy storage be used as a temporary source of power?
However, energy storage is increasingly being used in new applications such as support for EV charging stations and home back-up systems. Additionally, many jurisdictions are seeing increasing use of EVs and mobile energy storage systems which are moved around to be used as a temporary source of power.
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 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.
