Large-scale energy storage systems pose a greater risk for property and life loss than smaller systems due to their size. NFPA 855 requires 3 ft of space between every 50 kWh of energy storage for safety. However, the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) can approve closer proximities for larger storage systems based on thermal runaway test results from UL 9540A.
A home energy storage system consists of inverters, battery groups, and other energy storage components to create an uninterruptible power supply system for household consumers. This system combines renewable energy and implements load shifting to improve energy quality and bring economic benefits while reducing your electricity bills.
Growing concerns about the use of fossil fuels and greater demand for a cleaner, more eficient, and more resilient energy grid has led to the use of energy storage systems (ESS), and that use has increased substantially over the past decade.
Battery ESS are the most common type of new installation and are the focus of this fact sheet. DID YOU KNOW? Battery storage capacity in the United States is expected to more than double between 2022 and 2025 from 9.4 GW to 20.8 GW, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
A: Testing has shown that water is the most efective agent for cooling for a battery ESS. For this reason, a sprinkler system designed in accordance with NFPA 13, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems, is required by NFPA 855, Standard for the Installation of Energy Storage Systems.
On April 19, 2019, a thermal runaway event followed by an explosion occurred at the McMicken Battery Energy Storage System in Surprise, Arizona. A fire captain, a fire engineer, and two firefighters sustained serious injuries. The walk-in structure housed a 2.16 MWh lithium-ion battery energy storage system.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 250% in the past two years. Containerized energy storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial and industrial storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 42% market share, driven by corporate sustainability initiatives and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 18-28%. Europe follows closely with 35% market share, where standardized industrial storage designs have cut installation timelines by 65% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 50% CAGR, with manufacturing scale reducing system prices by 20% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting industrial storage solutions for peak shaving and backup power, with typical payback periods of 2-4 years. Major commercial projects now deploy clusters of 15+ systems creating storage networks with 80+MWh capacity at costs below $270/kWh for large-scale industrial applications.
