NFPA is keeping pace with the surge in energy storage and solar technology by undertaking initiatives including training, standards development, and research so that various stakeholders can safely embrace renewable energy sources and respond if potential new hazards arise. NFPA Standards that address Energy Storage Systems. Research
That code, like the International Building Code (IBC) 2024 and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 855, provides updated guidelines for the safe storage of lithium-ion batteries. But unfortunately, these updated guidelines – although helpful – do not fully address all the questions facility managers may have.

Current battery energy storage system (BESS) safety approaches leads to frequent failures due to safety gaps. A holistic approach aims to comprehensively
What are the certification requirements for energy storage systems? The fire codes require battery energy storage systems to be certified to UL 9540, Energy Storage Systems and Equipment. Each major component – battery, power conversion system, and
Image: Gareth Davies / Solar Media. The battery storage industry can learn lessons on how to approach fire safety from more established sectors as it works to develop standards. That was the view of Carlos Nieto, global energy storage division manager at engineering company , speaking at the Energy Storage Summit EU in February.
The focus of the following overview is on how the standard applies to electrochemical (battery) energy storage systems in Chapter 9 and specifically on lithium-ion (Li-ion)
A recent fire at a battery storage facility in California is bringing fresh attention to safety issues tied to energy storage as the technology grows in deployment across the U.S. The fire occurred in September 2022 at Pacific Gas & Electric''s (PG&E) Moss Landing battery storage facility in California.
The fire codes require battery energy storage systems to be certified to UL 9540, Energy Storage Systems and Equipment. Each major component – battery, power conversion system, and energy storage management system – must be certified to its own UL standard, and UL 9540 validates the proper integration of the complete system.
Through Siemens research with multiple lithium-ion battery manufacturers, the FDA unit has proven to detect a pending battery fire event up to 5 times faster than competitive
10.3.1 General. (a) Energy Storage System refers to one or more devices, assembled together, capable of storing energy in order to supply electrical energy at a future time to
Energy storage system testing is changing. Learn why July 15, 2022, could be a milestone on your company''s safety journey. New requirements are changing how you need to test your battery energy storage systems. A revised edition of UL 9540 includes updates
UL 9540 – Standard for Safety of Energy Storage Systems and Equipment. In order to have a UL 9540-listed energy storage system (ESS), the system must use a UL 1741-certified inverter and UL 1973-certified battery packs that have been tested using UL 9540A safety methods. It''s quite a UL-mouthful, but basically, the

Appendix 17.4 BESS Fire Technical Note. eadline 1 Submission – October 2023Executive SummaryThere have been over 30 recorded serious thermal runa. ays in Battery Energy Storage
Multidimensional fire propagation of LFP batteries are discussed for energy storage. • The heat flow pattern of multidimensional fire propagation were calculated. • The time sequence of fire propagation is described and its mechanism is revealed. • Results contribute
EPRI''s battery energy storage system database has tracked over 50 utility-scale battery failures, most of which occurred in the last four years. One fire resulted in life-threatening injuries to first responders. These incidents represent a 1 to 2 percent failure rate across the 12.5 GWh of lithium-ion battery energy storage worldwide.

This paper aims to outline the current gaps in battery safety and propose a holistic approach to battery safety and risk management. The holistic approach is a five-point plan addressing the challenges in Fig. 2, which uses current regulations and standards as a basis for battery testing, fire safety, and safe BESS installation.
The fault tree model is a powerful tool for studying the logical evolution of safety failures in complex systems. In this study, a fault tree model specifically designed for analyzing fire or explosion incidents in lithium-ion BESS is constructed, as illustrated in Fig. 2 and Table 1..
2.1 High level design of BESSs. A domestic battery energy storage system (BESS), usually consists of the following parts: battery subsystem, enclosure, power conversion subsystem, control subsystem, auxiliary subsystem and connection terminal (Figure 1). Figure 1: Simplified sketch of components within a domestic BESS.
Flow batteries store energy in electrolyte solutions which contain two redox couples pumped through the battery cell stack. Many different redox couples can be used, such as V/V, V/Br 2, Zn/Br 2, S/Br 2, Ce/Zn, Fe/Cr,
The 2021 versions of IFC, IRC, and NFPA 1 base their ESS fire code requirements on this document. Chapter 15 of NFPA 855 provides requirements for residential systems. The following list is not comprehensive but highlights important NFPA 855 requirements for residential energy storage systems. In particular, ESS spacing,
Presently, lithium battery energy storage power stations lack clear and effective fire extinguishing technology and systematic solutions.
