The RP focuses on three main aspects of grid-connected energy storage: safety, operation and performance. These aspects are assessed for electricity storage systems in general, i.e. a technology agnostic approach). Furthermore, recommendations applying only to specific energy storage technologies are provided wherever necessary.
Safety is fundamental to the development and design of energy storage systems. Each energy storage unit has multiple layers of prevention, protection and mitigation systems (detailed further in Section 4). These minimise the risk of overcharge, overheating or mechanical damage that could result in an incident such as a fire.
Grid energy storage systems are “enabling technologies”; they do not generate electricity, but they do enable critical advances to modernize and stabilize the electric grid.
Numerous studies have highlighted the value of grid energy storage for supporting the integration of variable renewable resources, demand charge management, mitigating losses from outages, improving power quality, transmission and distribution upgrade deferral, and off-grid applications.
Safety incidents are, on the whole, extremely rare due to the incorporation of prevention, protection and mitigation measures in the design and operation of storage systems. A common concern raised by some communities living close to sites identified for battery energy storage systems is around the risk of fire.
