    FAQs about Fire protection requirements for energy storage battery containers

    What are the fire and building codes for energy storage systems?

    However, many designers and installers, especially those new to energy storage systems, are unfamiliar with the fire and building codes pertaining to battery installations. Another code-making body is the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). Some states adopt the NFPA 1 Fire Code rather than the IFC.

    Are battery energy storage systems safe?

    Owners of energy storage need to be sure that they can deploy systems safely. Over a recent 18-month period ending in early 2020, over two dozen large-scale battery energy storage sites around the world had experienced failures that resulted in destructive fires. In total, more than 180 MWh were involved in the fires.

    Are energy storage systems required in the 2015 NFPA 1?

    While the 2015 versions of the IFC and NFPA 1 do contain some requirements for energy storage systems, they are few compared to the 2018 and 2021 versions. The ESS requirements in the 2018 version, while certainly more restrictive than the 2015 version, are relatively modest.

    What is battery energy storage fire prevention & mitigation?

    In 2019, EPRI began the Battery Energy Storage Fire Prevention and Mitigation – Phase I research project, convened a group of experts, and conducted a series of energy storage site surveys and industry workshops to identify critical research and development (R&D) needs regarding battery safety.

    How do you protect a battery module from a fire?

    The most practical protection option is usually an external, fixed firefighting system. A fixed firefighting system does not stop an already occurring thermal runaway sequence within a battery module, but it can prevent fire spread from module to module, or from pack to pack, or to adjacent combustibles within the space.

    How do you protect a lithium-ion battery from a fire?

    The emphasis is on risk mitigation measures and particularly on active fire protection. cooling of batteries by dedicated air or water-based circulation methods. structural means to prevent the fire from spreading out of the afected space.
