5 FAQs about [Energy storage cabin fire fighting equipment]
What are the ESS safety requirements for energy storage systems?
The International Fire Code (IFC) published its most robust ESS safety requirements in the most recent 2021 edition. By far the most dominant battery type installed in an energy storage system is lithium-ion, which brings with it particular fire risks.
Where can I find information on energy storage failures?
For up-to-date public data on energy storage failures, see the EPRI BESS Failure Event Database.2 The Energy Storage Integration Coun-cil (ESIC) Energy Storage Reference Fire Hazard Mitigation Analysis (ESIC Reference HMA),3 illustrates the complexity of achieving safe storage systems.
What happens if a power generation & energy storage facility fires?
Power generation and energy storage fires can be very costly, potentially resulting in a total write-off of the facility. Fires happen quickly and may spread fast, destroying critical company assets. Passive fire protection may lower risk but ignition sources and fuel supplies remain.
Are battery energy storage systems an energy asset?
BESS assets can be found at all scales, from in-cabinet to container to in-building. Although an energy asset, Battery Energy Storage Systems are not the preserve of traditional power and utility companies accustomed to dealing with the specialised operational demands.
Is fire suppression equipment included in an ESS?
suppression equipment may or may not be provided as an integral part of an ESS, or it may be optional. Depending on the case, the ESS shall comply with all applicable performance requirements in the standard with and/or without the fire detection and fire suppression equipment in place and operational.
