6 FAQs about [Fire energy storage container specification requirements]

How to protect energy storage systems from fire?

For large Energy Storage Systems, the use of fire walls between the cell packs and housing them in separate ISO containers can mitigate the spread of fire from one to another. Using fire rated containers (typically 90+ minutes fire resistance) with explosion relief can be used for large systems and even for vehicles after a crash.

What are the safety requirements for electrical energy storage systems?

Electrical energy storage (EES) systems - Part 5-3. Safety requirements for electrochemical based EES systems considering initially non-anticipated modifications, partial replacement, changing application, relocation and loading reused battery.

What is a fire rated container?

Using fire rated containers (typically 90+ minutes fire resistance) with explosion relief can be used for large systems and even for vehicles after a crash. These containers can also be fited with a suppression/extinguishing system. Of-gassing occurs early in cell/batery failure.

Do I need NFPA 855 for a battery energy storage system?

For this reason, we strongly recommend applying the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 855 Standard for the Installation of Stationary Energy Storage Systems. You should also follow guidance from the National Fire Chiefs Council around Grid Scale Battery Energy Storage System Planning.

What is the NFPA 855 standard for stationary energy storage systems?

Setting up minimum separation from walls, openings, and other structural elements. The National Fire Protection Association NFPA 855 Standard for the Installation of Stationary Energy Storage Systems provides the minimum requirements for mitigating hazards associated with ESS of diferent battery types.

Are battery energy storage systems safe?

Owners of energy storage need to be sure that they can deploy systems safely. Over a recent 18-month period ending in early 2020, over two dozen large-scale battery energy storage sites around the world had experienced failures that resulted in destructive fires. In total, more than 180 MWh were involved in the fires.
