The rapid rise of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS's) that use Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery technology brings with it massive potential – but also a significant range of risks.
Even though few incidents with domestic battery energy storage systems (BESSs) are known in the public domain, the use of large batteries in the domestic environment represents a safety hazard. This report undertakes a review of the technology and its application, in order to understand what further measures might be required to mitigate the risks.
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS's) are a sub-set of Energy Storage Systems (ESS's). ESS is a general term for the ability of a system to store energy using thermal, electro-mechanical or electro-chemical solutions. A BESS utilises an electro-chemical solution. Essentially, all Energy Storage Systems capture energy and store it for use later.
To reduce the safety risk associated with large battery systems, it is imperative to consider and test the safety at all levels, from the cell level through module and battery level and all the way to the system level, to ensure that all the safety controls of the system work as expected.
Concerns around fire safety stems from the lithium within the batteries, which can cause an explosion when it overheats. On 15 September 2020, a fire at a BESS site in Liverpool took 59 hours to extinguish and created a "significant blast", Merseyside Fire & Rescue Service said.
The application of batteries for domestic energy storage is not only an attractive 'clean' option to grid supplied electrical energy, but is on the verge of offering economic advantages to consumers, through maximising the use of renewable generation or by 3rd parties using the battery to provide grid services.
