Large Scale Battery Energy Storage Safety: Trends & Standards
Reviewing Safety Risks and Standards in BESS
As battery energy storage technologies assume a bigger role in the global transition to renewable energy, the importance of developing and operating a safe system is paramount.
In this webinar, Chris Wright and Aaroh Kharaya discuss some of the most pressing safety concerns for new storage installations in the U.S., adding some global cases for additional context. The inherent systems risks of battery design and technology, as well as potential electrical concerns, will also be discussed.
Yet, just as there are multiple aspects of a system that can pose safety concerns, practices and technologies used to mitigate these concerns are evolving just as quickly as the batteries themselves.
Listen to this PV magazine Webinar to find out more about the advancements being made every day in battery storage system safety and how this is applied to every level of project development.
Topics Include:
Safety concerns in ESS
Inherent risks
Safety trends – design
Safety trends – integration
Safety trends – installation
Safety standards
