Battery Energy Storage Systems: Main Considerations for Safe
Communities should consult BESS safety experts when considering and designing installations. Communities should also note that despite some high-profile incidents,
If separation distances are inadequate, there is the potential for further damage and the involvement of any adjacent BESS units. Installations within a large building also carry a risk of an incident escalating to include the entire building.
1. Failure to Pretest Technology One of the most common reasons for delays in BESS construction is the failure to pretest and validate technology before deployment. Without rigorous pretesting, unexpected compatibility issues and performance gaps can derail commissioning and delay the commercial operation date (COD).
Yet, many engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) firms struggle to deliver successful BESS projects. While these systems are complex, issues often stem from avoidable mistakes. Here are the five brutally honest reasons EPCs fail at BESS construction. 1. Failure to Pretest Technology
Communities should consult BESS safety experts when considering and designing installations. Communities should also note that despite some high-profile incidents, improvements in BESS quality and design have led to a decrease in the number of failure incidents per gigawatt hour deployed.
