Energy Storage & Safety
These safety standards and performance tests help to ensure that the technologies deployed in energy storage facilities uniformly comply with the highest global safety standards.
This document outlines a framework for ensuring safety in the battery energy storage industry through rigorous standards, certifications, and proactive collaboration with various stakeholders. It emphasizes collaboration with fire departments, safety experts, policymakers, and regulators to implement safety recommendations.
A public benefit corporation, NYSERDA has been advancing energy solutions and working to protect the environment since 1975. The Battery Energy Storage System Guidebook contains information, tools, and step-by-step instructions to support local governments managing battery energy storage system development in their communities.
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.
Certifications based on standards should be completed at the battery as well as entire system level. Attention should be paid to limitations of the systems that are related to fire, smoke, toxicity, and environmental pollution. Maintenance and periodic audits are imperative for safe functioning of long-term energy storage installations.
