6 FAQs about [Does commercial and industrial energy storage require fire protection registration ]

What is battery energy storage fire prevention & mitigation?

In 2019, EPRI began the Battery Energy Storage Fire Prevention and Mitigation – Phase I research project, convened a group of experts, and conducted a series of energy storage site surveys and industry workshops to identify critical research and development (R&D) needs regarding battery safety.

What is a fire safety guide?

This in-depth technical guide focuses on fire safety for commercial and industrial rooftop mounted PV installations, with the aim of providing an updated practical guide for insurers and their clients on the requirements for the procurement, ownership, operation, and maintenance of safe and efficient PV systems.

Are battery energy storage systems safe?

Owners of energy storage need to be sure that they can deploy systems safely. Over a recent 18-month period ending in early 2020, over two dozen large-scale battery energy storage sites around the world had experienced failures that resulted in destructive fires. In total, more than 180 MWh were involved in the fires.

How should a Bess installation be protected from combustible construction and storage?

Consideration should be given to keeping BESS separate from combustible construction and storage, and away from living spaces (bedrooms, living rooms). Garages (with good separation/protection from vehicles) or similar unoccupied utility spaces with suitable fire-separation are the best choice for indoor residential BESS installations.

Can water spray be used on high-voltage fire suppression systems?

Water spray has been deemed safe as an agent for use on high-voltage systems. Water mist fire suppression systems need to be designed specifically for use with the size and configuration of the specific ESS installation or enclosure being protected. Currently there is no generic design method recognized for water mist systems.

What is the NFPA 855 standard for stationary energy storage systems?

Setting up minimum separation from walls, openings, and other structural elements. The National Fire Protection Association NFPA 855 Standard for the Installation of Stationary Energy Storage Systems provides the minimum requirements for mitigating hazards associated with ESS of diferent battery types.
