Battery energy storage systems, and energy storage systems in general, are built with safety in mind to increase the reliability of our electrical grid and enable more clean, affordable energy while reducing energy waste by capturing and releasing energy when and where it is needed most.
While it’s important to understand how dangerous a battery energy storage system can be when it goes bad, the hazards and exposures can vary depending on how the system is set up. Trudeau uses the example of a hospital replacing part of its uninterruptible power source with a standard 20-foot container of lithium-ion batteries.
A report released Friday by a clean-energy trade group spells out best practices for safe use of large-scale battery energy storage systems following a major fire at a battery facility early this year.
It emphasizes collaboration with fire departments, safety experts, policymakers, and regulators to implement safety recommendations. The goal is to ensure the safe and reliable performance of battery energy storage systems as critical power grid infrastructure.
