In response to the randomness and uncertainty of the fire hazards in energy storage power stations, this study introduces the cloud model theory. Six factors, including battery type, service life, external stimuli, power station scale, monitoring methods, and firefighting equipment, are selected as the risk assessment set. The risks are divided into five levels.

Fire departments need data, research, and better training to deal with energy storage system (ESS) hazards. These are the key findings shared by UL’s Fire Safety Research Institute (FSRI) and presented by Sean DeCrane, International Association of Fire Fighters Director of Health and Safety Operational Services at SEAC’s May 2023 General Meeting.
In total, more than 180 MWh were involved in the fires. For context, Wood Mackenzie, which conducts power and renewable energy research, estimates 17.9 GWh of cumulative battery energy storage capacity was operating globally in that same period, implying that nearly 1 out of every 100 MWh had failed in this way.1
In addition, you can join a SEAC working group, including the Storage Fire Detection working group and the ESS Standards working group, that’s working to improve fire safety with ESS. Lastly, join SEAC for a virtual workshop on safety and risk considerations when permitting ESS.
