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).
Despite widely known hazards and safety design, grid-scale battery energy storage systems are not considered as safe as other industries such as chemical, aviation, nuclear, and petroleum. There is a lack of established risk management schemes and models for these systems.
Grid energy storage systems are “enabling technologies”; they do not generate electricity, but they do enable critical advances to modernize and stabilize the electric grid.
The energy storage system can be scaled up by adding more flywheels. Flywheels are not generally attractive for large-scale grid support services that require many kWh or MWh of energy storage because of the cost, safety, and space requirements. The most prominent safety issue in flywheels is failure of the rotor while it is rotating.
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.
It provides industry with best practice and a list of standards that apply at different stages in the deployment of the grid scale storage. The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero commissioned this guidance on behalf of the industry-led Electricity Storage Health and Safety Governance Group.
