Key Safety Standards for Battery Energy Storage Systems
Learn about key safety standards for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and how innovations like immersion cooling enhance safety and reliability.
The following are the most widely recognized benchmarks for system-level safety. UL 9540 is the comprehensive safety standard for energy storage systems (ESS), focusing on the interaction of system components. It evaluates the overall performance, safety features, and design of BESS, ensuring they operate effectively without compromising safety.
This checklist aims to help identify the potential hazards to workers' safety and health from small-scale and domestic solar energy systems, covering all stages of their life cycle, from manufacturing, installation and maintenance to decommissioning and recycling.
Certifications based on standards should be completed at the battery as well as entire system level. Attention should be paid to limitations of the systems that are related to fire, smoke, toxicity, and environmental pollution. Maintenance and periodic audits are imperative for safe functioning of long-term energy storage installations.
All operations on small-scale solar power installations require training to recognise the various risks and to take the appropriate safety and health measures. The manufacture, disposal or recycling of PV systems can lead to exposure to chemicals.
