6 FAQs about [Energy storage safety education]

Are energy storage systems dangerous?

In general, energy that is stored has the potential for release in an uncontrolled manner, potentially endangering equipment, the environment, or people. All energy storage systems have hazards. Some hazards are easily mitigated to reduce risk, and others require more dedicated planning and execution to maintain safety.

Are new energy storage systems safe?

Interest in storage safety considerations is substantially increasing, yet newer system designs can be quite different than prior versions in terms of risk mitigation. An uncontrolled release of energy is an inevitable and dangerous possibility with storing energy in any form.

What is a primary hazard in energy storage?

Resulting primary hazards may include fire, chemical, crush, electrical, and thermal. Secondary hazards may include health and environmental. EPRI's energy storage safety research is focused in three areas, or future states, defined in the Energy Storage Roadmap: Vision for 2025 .

Why are energy storage systems important?

gns and product launch delays in the future.IntroductionEnergy storage systems (ESS) are essential elements in global eforts to increase the availability and reliability of alternative energy sources and to

How do you evaluate a battery energy storage system?

Common safety data support a common evaluation process —The optimal approach to assess the safety risks of a battery energy storage system depends on its chemical makeup and container. It also relies on testing each level of integration, from the cell to the entire system.

How can EPRI help protect battery energy storage systems?

EPRI is currently working on a range of resources to help improve the safety of battery energy storage systems called the Project Lifecycle Safety Toolkit. It will include everything from data sets to white papers and guidebooks that provide practical steps to mitigate the risk of a battery fire and to optimize the response in case it occurs.
