SUMMARY:Webinar: Advancements in Utility-Scale Battery Energy Storage Safety Features\, Standards\, and Practices
DESCRIPTION:Utility-scale battery energy storage is a critical component to achieving decarbonization objectives while maintaining a reliable and resilient power grid. Deployment of utility-scale battery energy storage capacity is accelerating dramatically in the U.S. However\, both local firefighters and people living near proposed energy storage project sites have questions about the safety of these facilities. This presentation by Mike Simpson of AES will address the characteristics of lithium-ion battery energy storage systems (BESS)\, potential hazards such as thermal runaway\, and new approaches to mitigate those risks. These advancements encompass equipment safety approaches; a four-stage approach to effective protection against thermal runaway; advancements in enclosure design; monitoring systems; standardized testing; codes and standards; safety evaluation processes; and passive and active safety measures. The presentation will also provide examples of how clean energy project developers can work together most effectively with local fire departments on hazard mitigation analyses\, project site design refinements\, and emergency response planning to further enhance energy storage safety. Register. \n \n  \nThis webinar is sponsored by AES.
