6 FAQs about [New energy storage industry accident cases]

What are stationary energy storage failure incidents?

Note that the Stationary Energy Storage Failure Incidents table tracks both utility-scale and C&I system failures. It is instructive to compare the number of failure incidents over time against the deployment of BESS. The graph to the right looks at the failure rate per cumulative deployed capacity, up to 12/31/2023.

What are the different types of energy storage failure incidents?

Stationary Energy Storage Failure Incidents – this table tracks utility-scale and commercial and industrial (C&I) failures. Other Storage Failure Incidents – this table tracks incidents that do not fit the criteria for the first table. This could include failures involving the manufacturing, transportation, storage, and recycling of energy storage.

What are other storage failure incidents?

Other Storage Failure Incidents – this table tracks incidents that do not fit the criteria for the first table. This could include failures involving the manufacturing, transportation, storage, and recycling of energy storage. Residential energy storage system failures are not currently tracked.

What causes large-scale lithium-ion energy storage battery fires?

Conclusions Several large-scale lithium-ion energy storage battery fire incidents have involved explosions. The large explosion incidents, in which battery system enclosures are damaged, are due to the deflagration of accumulated flammable gases generated during cell thermal runaways within one or more modules.

How many large-scale battery energy storage sites have been affected by fires?

4. Planning for Failure Requires Choices: Varying Levels of Over the past four years, at least 30 large-scale battery energy storage sites (BESS) globally experienced failures that resulted in destructive fires.1 In total, more than 200 MWh were involved in the fires.

Where can I find information on energy storage safety?

For more information on energy storage safety, visit the Storage Safety Wiki Page. The BESS Failure Incident Database was initiated in 2021 as part of a wider suite of BESS safety research after the concentration of lithium ion BESS fires in South Korea and the Surprise, AZ, incident in the US.
