6 FAQs about [Energy storage system grounding standards]

How will grid scale electricity storage improve health and safety standards?

The deployment of grid scale electricity storage is expected to increase. This guidance aims to improve the navigability of existing health and safety standards and provide a clearer understanding of relevant standards that the industry for grid scale electrical energy storage systems can apply to its own process (es).

What are the safety requirements for electrical energy storage systems?

Electrical energy storage (EES) systems - Part 5-3. Safety requirements for electrochemical based EES systems considering initially non-anticipated modifications, partial replacement, changing application, relocation and loading reused battery.

What are the energy storage operational safety guidelines?

In addition to NYSERDA’s BESS Guidebook, ESA issued the U.S. Energy Storage Operational Safety Guidelines in December 2019 to provide the BESS industry with a guide to current codes and standards applicable to BESS and provide additional guidelines to plan for and mitigate potential operational hazards.

What is a 'grid scale' battery storage guidance document?

FrazerNash are the primary authors of this report, with DESNZ and the industry led storage health and safety governance group (SHS governance group) providing key insights into the necessary content. This guidance document is primarily tailored to ‘grid scale’ battery storage systems and focusses on topics related to health and safety.

What are the standards for battery energy storage systems (Bess)?

As the industry for battery energy storage systems (BESS) has grown, a broad range of H&S related standards have been developed. There are national and international standards, those adopted by the British Standards Institution (BSI) or published by International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), CENELEC, ISO, etc.

What is a UL standard for energy storage safety?

Far-reaching standard for energy storage safety, setting out a safety analysis approach to assess H&S risks and enable determination of separation distances, ventilation requirements and fire protection strategies. References other UL standards such as UL 1973, as well as ASME codes for piping (B31) and pressure vessels (B & PV).
