What are the different types of energy storage failure incidents?
Stationary Energy Storage Failure Incidents – this table tracks utility-scale and commercial and industrial (C&I) failures. Other Storage Failure Incidents – this table tracks incidents that do not fit the criteria for the first table. This could include failures involving the manufacturing, transportation, storage, and recycling of energy storage.
Where can I find information on energy storage safety?
For more information on energy storage safety, visit the Storage Safety Wiki Page. The BESS Failure Incident Database was initiated in as part of a wider suite of BESS safety research after the concentration of lithium ion BESS fires in South Korea and the Surprise, AZ, incident in the US.
What causes a thermal runaway gas explosion?
The thermal runaway gas explosion scenarios, which can be initiated by various electrical faults, can be either prompt ignitions soon after a large flammable gas mixture is formed, or delayed ignitions associated with late entry of air and/or loss of gaseous fire suppression agent.
What happened at McMicken energy storage unit?
This incident occurred at the Arizona Public Service (APS, ) McMicken Energy Storage Unit facility in Surprise, Arizona, 28 miles northwest of Phoenix. As shown in Fig. 3, the facility is adjacent to an APS substation. It is a 2 MW, 2 MWh facility with 27 racks, each containing 392 Li-ion Nickel–Manganese–Cobalt pouch cells (DNV GL, ).
