Technical FAQs 4

What is battery energy storage fire prevention & mitigation?

In 2019, EPRI began the Battery Energy Storage Fire Prevention and Mitigation – Phase I research project, convened a group of experts, and conducted a series of energy storage site surveys and industry workshops to identify critical research and development (R&D) needs regarding battery safety.

Are lithium-ion battery energy storage systems fire safe?

With the advantages of high energy density, short response time and low economic cost, utility-scale lithium-ion battery energy storage systems are built and installed around the world. However, due to the thermal runaway characteristics of lithium-ion batteries, much more attention is attracted to the fire safety of battery energy storage systems.

Are fire incidents in battery energy storage systems a problem?

Fire incidents in battery energy storage systems (BESS) are rare but receive significant public and regulatory attention due to their dramatic impact on communities, first responders, and the environment. Although these incidents are decreasing, each case provides insights to improve energy storage safety.

How can battery energy storage safety management be improved?

To strengthen battery energy storage safety management, manufacturers now conduct large-scale fire testing (LSFT) to provide evidence when assessing the risks and support regulatory approvals. Adherence to international standards ensures that BESS projects integrate fire suppression, gas detection, and proper site management.
