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.
Summary of non-electrochemical energy storage deployments. Pumped hydro storage plants store and generate energy by moving water between two reservoirs at different elevations. Water is pumped into an upper reservoir for charging and then released through pipes into turbines for discharging.
A framework is provided for evaluating issues in emerging electrochemical energy storage technologies. The report concludes with the identification of priorities for advancement of the three pillars of energy storage safety: 1) science-based safety validation, 2) incident preparedness and response, 3) codes and standards.
The highly unpredictable nature of thermal runaway with the potential for propagation into a large-scale ESS fire can make designing explosion control systems quite challenging. For example, while the characteristics of a single cell failure are predictable, failure does not always scale predictably at the system level.
While the cells enclosed in an explosion-proof box are considered to be safe, there are reports that the thermal runaway propagation from a single cell will ignite the space within the enclosure to a pressure far beyond its limit [12,18,19].
