1 Energy Storage Systems Fire Safety Considerations Howard Hopper, FPE Regulatory Services Program Manager

2 Why Energy Storage? Recently, enormous focus has been placed on expanding the energy storage infrastructure. Source: Energy Storage Solutions The benefits of energy storage are driven by several dynamic factors. 2

3 Grid Balancing & Load Leveling Source: Energy Transition EDF Renewable Energy 3

4 Reliability & Resiliency Source: L.A. Times 4

5 Mitigating Renewables Energy Intermittency 5

6 Consumer Considerations The Smart grid enables consumers to enhance their electric utilization with consumer storage systems 6

7 Energy Storage Technologies Various energy storage technologies are being used or explored, including: Electrochemical Stationary storage batteries and capacitors SAE International Chemical such as hydrogen supplied equipment combined with a fuel cell power system Fuel Cells

8 Energy Storage Technologies (Continued) Mechanical - such as compressed air, pumped water or fly wheel technologies Thermal such as a system that uses heated fluids University of Texas Austin Christopher Barile, Stanford University Current ESS focus is stationary storage battery systems, primary Lithium-ion types 8

9 Potential Hazards - Energy Storage Systems Energy Fire Explosion Burns Electrical Electric shock Arc Flash Electrical burns Mechanical Pressure Noise Moving parts Sharp edges Chemical Toxic or hazardous substance exposure/ concentrations

10 Stationary Storage Battery Systems Fire and building codes Product and system listings 10

11 2015 IBC/IFC and NFPA 1 Requirements 1997 telecom revised codes to allow lead-acid battery systems in incidental use areas 1 or 2 hour fire-rated separation Exempts hazmat requirements Spill control, ventilation, smoke detection Battery quantities unlimited Location in building not regulated IFC Section 608, NFPA 1 Ch. 52 Don t adequately protect new ESS Proposed 2018 code proposals address modern battery systems

12 ESS Fire Safety Objectives (2018 Proposed Codes) 12

13 ESS Fire Safety Objectives (2018 Proposed Codes) Prevent Fire Ignition Listed batteries and ESS Energy management systems Installed per manufacturers instructions 13

14 ESS Fire Safety Objectives (2018 Proposed Codes) Manage Fire Impact Location in building Contained within 1 or 2 hour FR construction Limit array size (e.g. 50 KWh) MAQs in incidental use area (600 KWh) Smoke detection Fire suppression Gas detection & ventilation Firefighter considerations 14

15 Stationary Storage Battery Systems UL Listing (Certification) considerations Products evaluated by an independent third party Uses recognized product safety standards Ongoing production subject to UL factory audits Products eligible to bear a UL Mark Certification information available online Listings are not the same as manufacturer s self certification 15

16 UL 1973 Batteries for Stationary Applications Product safety standard Construction Performance Markings and instructions UL Standards are primarily intended for use by manufacturers 16

17 UL 1973 Construction Requirements 17

18 UL 1973 Performance Requirements 18

19 UL 1973 Battery Listings (Certifications) UL Online Certifications Directory Batteries Resource for stakeholders in battery system installations Includes manufacturers and models of listed batteries Batteries include a UL Listing Mark Listing information provided with plan submittals or upon request by building authorities 19
