Ongoing power system advancements have allowed for the continuous operation of equipment as well as portability from one location to another. Efforts around sustainability continue to increase demands for the capacity to store energy for future use. Energy Storage Systems (ESS) meet the need for having reliable power supplies at a future time, but present serious challenges and hazards to the facility owner, fire protection engineer/consultant, and the professional fire fighter. This course provides an updated understanding of the types of Energy Storage Systems, related construction methods, and the serious fire hazards associated. Current code requirements for ESS fire protection will be reviewed along with current best practices to help ensure a safe environment for facilities and their occupants.
Learning Objectives:
•Identify and describe the various Energy Storage Systems (ESS) in use today.
•Explain the fire hazards associated with battery storage systems.
•Describe the unique fire hazards when using Lithium-Ion batteries.
•Identify and apply current code requirements for Energy Storage System (ESS) fire protection.
