6 Frequently Asked Questions about “Energy storage site environmental assessment requirements and standards”

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.

Can CSRS be applied to energy storage systems?

Until existing model codes and standards are updated or new ones are developed and then adopted, one seeking to deploy energy storage technologies or needing to verify the safety of an installation may be challenged in trying to apply currently implemented CSRs to an energy storage system (ESS).

How should energy storage systems be designed?

Designing resilient systems: although it is impossible to design for any scenario, energy storage systems should be designed to withstand common and uncommon environmental hazards in the areas they will be deployed.

Is the Energy Storage Association responsible for the use of this guide?

The U.S. Energy Storage Association assumes no responsibility or liability for the use of this guide. Site owners and operators are advised to consult with safety consultants and legal and insurance advisors concerning liability and other issues associated with the adoption and implementation of operational safety guidelines.

How do you ensure energy storage safety?

Ultimately, energy storage safety is ensured through engineering quality and application of safety practices to the entire energy storage system. Design and planning to prevent emergencies, and to improve any necessary response, is crucial.

How can advanced energy storage systems be safe?

The safe operation of advanced energy storage systems requires the coordinated efforts of all those involved in the lifecycle of a system, from equipment designers, to OEM manufacturers, to system designers, installers, operators, maintenance crews, and finally those decommissioning systems, and, first responders.
