Is the Energy Storage Association responsible for the use of this guide?
The U.S. Energy Storage Association assumes no responsibility or liability for the use of this guide. Site owners and operators are advised to consult with safety consultants and legal and insurance advisors concerning liability and other issues associated with the adoption and implementation of operational safety guidelines.
How can advanced energy storage systems be safe?
The safe operation of advanced energy storage systems requires the coordinated efforts of all those involved in the lifecycle of a system, from equipment designers, to OEM manufacturers, to system designers, installers, operators, maintenance crews, and finally those decommissioning systems, and, first responders.
What's new in energy storage safety?
Since the publication of the first Energy Storage Safety Strategic Plan in 2014, there have been introductions of new technologies, new use cases, and new codes, standards, regulations, and testing methods. Additionally, failures in deployed energy storage systems (ESS) have led to new emergency response best practices.
What does the Energy Storage Association do?
As America expands its reliance on advanced energy storage systems, the U.S. Energy Storage Association continues to lead these prevention and response efforts with policymakers, codes and standards bodies, and other stakeholders to maximize the safe and effective use of energy storage technologies to help modernize U.S. electric grids.
Do energy storage systems need a CSR?
Until existing model codes and standards are updated or new ones developed and then adopted, one seeking to deploy energy storage technologies or needing to verify an installation’s safety may be challenged in applying current CSRs to an energy storage system (ESS).
What is energy storage system installation review and approval?
4.0 Energy Storage System Installation Review and Approval The purpose of this chapter is to provide a high-level overview of what is involved in documenting or validating the safety of an ESS as installed in, on, or adjacent to buildings or facilities.
