Ultimately, energy storage safety is ensured through engineering quality and application of safety practices to the entire energy storage system. Design and planning to prevent emergencies, and to improve any necessary response, is crucial.
Until existing model codes and standards are updated or new ones developed and then adopted, one seeking to deploy energy storage technologies or needing to verify an installation's safety may be challenged in applying current CSRs to an energy storage system (ESS).
Designing resilient systems: although it is impossible to design for any scenario, energy storage systems should be designed to withstand common and uncommon environmental hazards in the areas they will be deployed.
The safe operation of advanced energy storage systems requires the coordinated efforts of all those involved in the lifecycle of a system, from equipment designers, to OEM manufacturers, to system designers, installers, operators, maintenance crews, and finally those decommissioning systems, and, first responders.
Table 3.1. Energy Storage System and Component Standards 2. If relevant testing standards are not identified, it is possible they are under development by an SDO or by a third-party testing entity that plans to use them to conduct tests until a formal standard has been developed and approved by an SDO.
Under the Energy Storage Safety Strategic Plan, developed with the support of the Department of Energy's Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability Energy Storage Program by Pacific Northwest Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratories, an Energy Storage Safety initiative has been underway since July 2015.
Required energy storage capacity, budget, battery technology, type and intended lifespan will all influence the design of the battery energy storage system, as will applicable standards, industry guidelines for best practice, and the manufacturer''s recommendations.

The TS-800 document provides a standardized procedure to observe and document the effects of a fire in one battery energy storage system (BESS) on surrounding units and external exposures. It covers BESS installations across residential, commercial, industrial, and utility environments.
The battery energy storage system (BESS) market is booming. Lithium production is expected to increase five times by 2030 1 and, right now, battery technology is evolving by leaps and bounds. The day-to-day work of BESS project development is revealing, however, that standards and guidelines are falling behind on multiple fronts – safety and performance testing protocols, test
most energy storage in the world joined in the effort and gave EPRI access to their energy storage sites and design data as well as safety procedures and guides. In 2020 and 2021, eight BESS installations were evaluated for fire protection and hazard mitigation using the ESIC Reference HMA. Figure 1 – EPRI energy storage safety research timeline
