This Draft Emergency Response Plan for energy storage facilities, presented by the American Clean Power Association (ACP), is the result of a collaborative member effort initially undertaken by the Energy Storage Association (ESA) in 2019 and continued following ESA’s merger with ACP at the beginning of 2022.
A well-made battery energy storage emergency response plan is essential for the resilience, safety, and reliability of systems during critical situations.
This document provides guidance to first responders for incidents involving energy storage systems (ESS). The guidance is specific to ESS with lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, but some elements may apply to other technologies also. Hazards addressed include fire, explosion, arc flash, shock, and toxic chemicals.
While a well-documented response plan should be developed for every battery storage site, emergency response will vary over the duration of the incident based on the severity. This underscores the importance of proper first responder training and preparedness, which brings us to our next critical element. 4.
Immediate response emergency backup power systems are designed to activate rapidly, typically within a few milliseconds, to provide uninterrupted power supply during an outage. These systems are crucial for life safety and maintaining critical operations that cannot tolerate any downtime.
Safety and Independence: Emergency power systems are often dedicated to supporting life safety systems, including emergency lighting for egress, fire pumps, sprinkler systems, and fire alarm systems, ensuring that these critical functions remain operational during a power outage.
