This document outlines a framework for ensuring safety in the battery energy storage industry through rigorous standards, certifications, and proactive collaboration with various stakeholders.
The primary safety objective across the BESS project is to minimise risk to health and safety of the public, employees, property, and the environment by complying with applicable legal requirements and relevant emerging good practice for grid scale connected battery energy storage systems.
The Department of Energy Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability Energy Storage Program would like to acknowledge the external advisory board that contributed to the topic identification, outlining, and drafting of this report: Lakshmi Srinivasan and Dirk Long (EPRI), LaTanya Schwalb and Laurie Florence (UL Solutions), Jim
This report applies to generic, grid scale EES, including Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). The activities described in the this report address the safety related comments from the...
A detailed structured plan that outlines the safety roles, responsibilities and engagement for each component of the Prime Contractor''s Project Management Team throughout the lifespan of the Project.
Safety and Planning considerations – this section is a high-level overview of planning requirements and safety standards. Requirements specific to the Scheme are detailed elsewhere.
But not just any plans — these are the core design documents that chart every safety consideration, answer stakeholders'' questions and de-risk energy storage projects.
Note: This checklist serves as a general guide and should be customized based on specific project requirements and applicable regulations.
But not just any plans — these are the core design documents that chart every safety consideration, answer stakeholders'' questions and de-risk energy storage projects.
This procedure provides instructions for implementing the Elkhorn Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) Emergency Action Plan (EAP) including immediate requirements, points of contact, and follow up actions that should be taken by power plant

Since the publication of the first Energy Storage Safety Strategic Plan in 2014, there have been introductions of new technologies, new use cases, and new codes, standards, regulations, and testing methods. Additionally, failures in deployed energy storage systems (ESS) have led to new emergency response best practices.
It emphasizes collaboration with fire departments, safety experts, policymakers, and regulators to implement safety recommendations. The goal is to ensure the safe and reliable performance of battery energy storage systems as critical power grid infrastructure.
One gap in current safety assessments is that validation tests are performed on new products under laboratory conditions, and do not reflect changes that can occur in service or as the product ages. Figure 4. Increasing safety certainty earlier in the energy storage development cycle. 8. Summary of Gaps
A framework is provided for evaluating issues in emerging electrochemical energy storage technologies. The report concludes with the identification of priorities for advancement of the three pillars of energy storage safety: 1) science-based safety validation, 2) incident preparedness and response, 3) codes and standards.
