the latest national energy storage battery standards

What is a battery management standard?

A new standard that will apply to the design, performance, and safety of battery management systems. It includes use in several application areas, including stationary batteries installed in local energy storage, smart grids and auxillary power systems, as well as mobile batteries used in electric vehicles (EV), rail transport and aeronautics.

Are battery energy storage systems safe?

WASHINGTON, D.C., March 28, — Today, the American Clean Power Association (ACP) released a comprehensive framework to ensure the safety of battery energy storage systems (BESS) in every community across the United States, informed by a new assessment of previous fire incidents at BESS facilities.

What is a battery energy storage system?

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) stabilize the electrical grid, ensuring a steady flow of power to homes and businesses regardless of fluctuations from varied energy sources or other disruptions. However, fires at some BESS installations have caused concern in communities considering BESS as a method to support their grids.

What does the new NFPA code mean for batteries?

The new NFPA code is expected to include robust guidelines for all of this. Worker Safety: The NFPA will seek to protect workers who handle, assemble, or maintain batteries. You can expect safety protocols, such as using personal protective equipment (PPE), and training on safe handling of batteries.

Do energy storage systems need to be certified?

U.S. fire and electrical codes require that energy storage systems be listed, meaning the product must be tested by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (a private-sector organization recognized by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration) and certified to meet consensus-based test standards.

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) is considering the development of a comprehensive standard, proposed as NFPA 800, Battery Safety Code, to provide uniform, minimum requirements to address fire, electrical, life safety, and property protection from battery hazards.
