The safe operation of the energy storage power station is not only affected by the energy storage battery itself and the external operating environment, but also the safety and reliability of its internal components directly affect the safety of the energy storage battery.
Large-scale, commercial development of lithium-ion battery energy storage still faces the challenge of a major safety accident in which the battery thermal runaway burns or even explodes. The development of advanced and effective safety prevention and control technologies is an important means to ensure their safe operation.
As the most fundamental energy storage unit of the battery storage system, the battery safety performance is an essential condition for guaranteeing the reliable operation of the energy storage power plant. LIBs are usually composed of four basic materials: cathode, anode, diaphragm and electrolyte .
Altogether, like other electric grid infrastructure, energy storage systems are highly regulated and there are established safety designs, features, and practices proven to eliminate risks to operators, firefighters, and the broader community.
The fundamental reason for this big upswing in investments and deployments of energy storage is clear. As the global electricity mix adds large amounts of generation from variable sources like wind and solar, battery energy storage is crucial to reliably deliver electrons when the sun isn’t shining, and the wind isn’t blowing.
Utility-scale battery energy storage is safe and highly regulated, growing safer as technology advances and as regulations adopt the most up-to-date safety standards. Discover more about energy storage & safety at EnergyStorage.org
